The everyday man is not always so comfortable with wearing jewellery, whether it’s due to believing that it is too feminine, or unsure how to wear it correctly.
However, whatever your personal style, suited and booted gentleman, or no-rules rock’n’roll rebel, it’s simpler than you might think to find a jewellery style that works for you.
Rather than explain how to wear jewellery, we have a look at some mistakes men make when experimenting with jewellery.
1. Not Wearing Jewellery With Confidence
If you want to be stylish, then it’s great to push your boundaries a bit, and if you don’t have the confidence for it, that’s fine, you just need practice. Start simple, you don’t have to opt for a large, ornate statement piece that makes you feel instantly uncomfortable, and you can graduate to more elaborate pieces once you gain confidence.
2. Not Paying Attention to Your Environment
It’s vital to consider the event or function you are attending, as the environment can dictate what is appropriate. Some work environments will have dress codes, so it might be best to keep your jewellery more modest.
3. Over-Accessorising
Mr T was a man who certainly rocked his trademark layered gold accessories, but that isn’t going to work for the dapper gentleman. And while Keith Richards multiple skull rings work for him, you might not want to adopt his Pirates of the Caribbean style. Remember, less is more, for the ordinary mortal gent.
Jewellery is an enhancement to a man’s outfit. Not accessorising would be like having a steak without seasoning. The steak might still be good, but it lacks that enhancement with the addition of spices, and it’s the same with jewellery and accessories.
Avoid these mistakes and don’t be afraid to experiment until you get comfortable with the right pieces that work for you. You can never go wrong with simple yet elegant pieces.
