Jewellery Trends Acceptable For Modern Men To Wear August 3, 2020 – Posted in: Blog
Women have been exploring jewelry accessories for centuries. It’s time that men started embracing rings and wristlets too. Just get familiar with your options and don’t shy away from the possibilities.
Over the centuries, men have worn amulets, earrings, headdresses, necklaces, body piercings, rings, bangles, brooches and medallions. In short, if it was shiny, there was a man willing to hang it off one extremity or another.
But in more recent civilisations, male jewellery became something of a style taboo. Watches escaped censure, naturally. A simple wedding ring was acceptable, too.
There’s a bit of a barrier for men to get over regarding any sort of jewelry, and necklaces are considered one of the hardest items to wear. But take your cue from the professionals — men can and do look great wearing necklaces. It just takes a little know-how. To squash the myths and show you the ropes, here is the guide to wearing men’s jewelry. Here we go.
THE TIE ACCENT

If you’re wearing a tie, there are three jewelry options available to keep it in place. Ties bars are the most popular. A simple metal strip that clips on the tie horizontally will hold it in place using your shirt as an anchor. If you prefer a less conspicuous option, a tie chain will keep your tie in place but remain unseen. The last option is a tie pin, but unless you want to risk stabbing yourself every time your tie flaps stick with the first two.
BRACELETS

The trend used to be a thicker kind of leather or metal, but now, we’ve moved towards minimal, refined bracelets that a guy can easily layer or wear on its own. You can combine a simple cuff with another bracelet that has a different texture, be it rope or leather.
When it comes to wearing multiple bracelets, it’s best to look at it as a balancing equation. A stylish bracelet shines on its own, but if you want to go a little bolder with your look, just make sure the combination isn’t too distracting or heavy. If you’re already wearing a watch and a wedding band, on one hand, add the touch of metal or cord to your other wrist.
CUFFLINKS
Cufflinks are generally designed to hold the cuffs in place. They are most commonly worn with French cuff shirts. There is a thumb rule of wearing cufflinks, knots should be less dressy.
Cufflinks are made up of different styles, which are available in the market, like closures, fixed, toggles and some double-sided. There are cufflinks which are sophisticated and stylish and go well with work-related events. You can go for matte, gold or metallic cufflinks in square or circular shapes. Metal cufflinks made of pernicious material are more elegant and masculine at the same time. Be sure that your details are minor and avoid wearing gem-studded or unusual shape cufflinks.
RINGS
Rings are the most common ornament that men wear. Traditionally, they are wedding rings. Wear a ring made of gold or sterling silver or something which has two colours. Try to keep it simple with minimum gemstones or glitz. But there is a certain way it should be worn and a style that suits your personality.

If you want a bold look that matches your personality, try a stacked ring style. You can wear two or more rings of different designs and patterns on a single finger or you can spread and wear them on multiple fingers. If you know these things, you can create a look filled with swag and style. Overall, it takes a lot of confidence to wear a men’s ring in such away.
Remember, if a piece of jewelry is worn properly, it can add a great compliment to your outfit and overall appearance.
Smart rings are a thing. While some new wearable categories spring up, make a big noise and then fade into the background, the future of putting tech on your finger looks bright.

EARRINGS
Many modern men are starting to wear more jewelry to express their style and personality. After all, why should women have all the fun when it comes to jewelry! The diamond stud has been one of the most popular types of earrings for men and whatever your style, there’s bound to be one to suit you.
Diamond studs are a unisex item and suit both men and women equally. The main differences, if any, would be in color and size. Male diamond studs are often larger than those for women, although this is not always the case.
HOW TO WEAR DIAMOND STUDS
First and foremost, let’s take a look at how you can wear a diamond stud. Remember that this is a matter of choice and depends on your personal taste. In other words, there’s no right or wrong way to go about this. If you aren’t sure how you feel about wearing a diamond stud and if you want to start slow, then we recommend a single stud.
The two most popular cuts for diamond earrings worn by men are round and square. These cuts are popular as they are relatively unisex compared to marquise or pear cut diamonds. Round and square-cut diamond earrings also look stylish whether worn solo or in a pair.
LAPEL PIN
The lapel pin is a classic men’s accessory that’s made a real run-for-it in fashion this season. But, unsure of how to wear a lapel pin, not all gents are prepared to place their bets on the striking suit decoration.
Yes, the wrong pin has the potential to look like a cheap, novelty accessory. In proper use, the pin adds personality to a suit, a garment that’s hard to liven up considering our colour options: navy, grey or black?
Just as there’s a tie for every man’s taste, there’s a lapel pin for every man’s preference. The variations go from material to design to occasion.

Amazon has stepped into the world of connected eyewear with its first-ever pair of smart glasses. Not quite as ambitious as some designs to have come and gone before them, the company’s Echo Frames keep things relatively simple in hopes of making its Alexa voice assistant a key part of a user’s everyday life.
Its Echo Frames are designed for everyday use, with owners able to take them to their optometrist to have their required lenses installed, and Amazon claiming they will accommodate most prescriptions.
Built into the frames is a set of four tiny speakers along with a pair of two beam-forming microphones. This setup allows wearers to engage with Alexa when they’re out and about, whether that be asking for some news or directions, turning on a smart light with their voice, setting reminders, or scheduling appointments in their calendar.
PLATINUM FOUNTAIN PEN
Sometimes it is cumbersome to write with a fountain pen, especially if you are in a hurry; besides, the ink will not work well on some surfaces. For a quick jotting down of a phone number or directions you have the rollerball or ballpoint, but when you want to confer gravity to a document, nothing replaces a good fountain pen.
The masterpiece built to last for generations. The nib and the body is made of Platinum, built solidly. You may have your name or initials engraved on the pen holder and the pen will become a beautiful heirloom. The only “problem” with fountain pens is that you tend to become a collector – lawyers and doctors are serious candidates!
KEEP YOUR ESSENTIALS NEAT
Last but not least, you should make sure all your accessories are neat and in good shape. Now that the year has just changed, it’s the perfect time to go through all your essentials and see if they need renewal. And finally, is your wallet clean and orderly, and does it fit your needs.
