When it comes to accessories- jewellery specifically, men are not usually big them. But there are a few pieces that that every man should own, wear comfortably.
- Rings
Ring
Rings for men have become a trend and a fashion must have, particularly the signet. They show off royalty and class back in the days. Typically worn on the pinky finger (smallest finger) and passed down from father to son, signet rings often feature seal engravings like your initials or the family crest.
- Cuffs
Cufflinks
Many men are scared by the suggestion of a bracelet. A minimal cuff however, has a slightly more universal, masculine appeal. Be sure to purchase real gold or silver so you can use it as long as you wish without the fading or smudge marks that come with the plated cuffs.
- Chain
Chain
There are rules to follow. Firstly, you’ll want to choose a lightweight, slender chain. Not only will it be subtle enough to work with most looks, but you can easily tuck it away underneath a shirt on the occasions it’s not welcomed.
-
Wristwatch
Wristwatches are luxuries for perfect gentle men. However, when wearing a watch, make sure that the face sits right next to the bone on the outside of the wrist (the ulna). When standing, little or none of your watch should be visible beneath your shirt cuff. Then, when wearing a long-sleeved shirt, your watch should only be fully visible when your arm is bent.
- Belts
Belt
For formal or business wear, a plain black or brown belt is acceptable. The colour of the belt matches the shoes, and a silver buckle is considered more formal, then you are good to go.
