I've always been curious about fashion and how it can express personality. Recently, I've been diving into the world of men's jewelry, especially necklaces. It's a topic that seems to spark a lot of different opinions, and I wanted to share my own journey of exploration and discovery.
I started thinking about men and necklaces. What kind of necklace suits which man? Is there a hierarchy—necklaces first, then rings, then earrings? Or does it all come down to personal taste? I even considered a toe ring (with a flower!) just to see how it would feel. It definitely opened my eyes to how daring some people can be with their style!
I decided to get some opinions. The reactions were…varied, to say the least. Some people just didn't care at all. Others didn't even notice. Then came the strong opinions. Some found jewelry on men irrationally unattractive – especially earrings. Others were indifferent to necklaces and most rings, but had a firm "no" when it came to chunky silver or gold chains. Earrings were also generally a no-go for many. It was fascinating to see such different reactions to something so seemingly simple as a necklace.
One thing I noticed was that attraction plays a big role. Some people admitted they aren't attracted to men who wear jewelry. It's not that they disapprove, it's just not their personal preference. It made me realize that jewelry is a powerful statement, and it's not for everyone.
Despite the mixed opinions, I was determined to find a necklace that worked for me. I started by considering my personal style. I tend to lean towards minimalist designs and subtle details. I wanted something that would complement my outfits without being too flashy.
I experimented with different lengths and materials. I tried a simple silver chain, but it felt too plain. I also tried a thicker chain, but it felt too heavy and distracting. Finally, I found something that I really liked: a delicate pendant necklace with a small, subtle charm.
I discovered the Kpop Star Moon Pendant Choker Necklaces. While marketed toward women, the delicate design and subtle moon pendant felt surprisingly versatile and could easily be styled in a masculine way. The silver finish added a touch of sophistication without being overly flashy. I found it at BlingCharming Mens Jewelry and thought it was worth a shot.
What I liked about it was the overall vibe. It wasn't trying too hard. The delicate chain and subtle moon pendant added a touch of personality without screaming for attention. It felt like a natural extension of my style, rather than a forced accessory.
Based on my experiences and observations, here are some practical tips for wearing necklaces and other jewelry as a man:
