The golden rules for wearing jewelry that every man should know

¿how to wear jewelry or where to start if you had not tried before?

wear jewelry It is not reserved for women, men can and should wear pearls, chains, bracelets, rings and earrings, and it is the trend that you have to learn to master because it is not going anywhere.

And it is that wearing jewelry is a form of expression, it is a differentiating factor for an outfit that other ways would be boring or too simple, or you can even use it as a way to update yourself and look current without having to change a lot of things in your closet. They say that the devil is in the details, that means that the smallest elements are the ones that finish a look and make it elevated, more cool or sophisticated, and it definitely has to do with the jewelry accessories that you wear.

Jaden Smith, Harry Styles and Justin Bieber wear pearls, Jake Gyllenhaal wear gold or silver chains and nobody ever lacks a good watch, the thing about jewelry is that if you're not careful, you can fall into excess or end up looking like the sideboard of some brand that wants to sell it all at the same time.

Jewelry and fashion have gone hand in hand since the beginning of time, and the decision not to wear it only affects you. You can wear classic, timeless, elegant, fun pieces or that you could pass on to your children as an inheritance, the options are endless and not taking advantage of them has no benefit.

The rules for wearing jewelry:

Pay attention to trends

Of course there is classical pieces that don't go out of style, like a simple ring or a thin silver chain, but if you want to use jewelry as a modern accessory and an element that will highlight your look, then it is worth knowing the trends and adding them to your manner. For example, if the trend is pearls, you can add a subtle and small necklace that is not too flashy, but that adds something to the outfit.

It is worth combining metals (and materials)

Before it was thought that gold and silver could not be combined, but that is not law. You can actually mix and match all kinds of colors and metals, as long as you have good balance and keep it looking intentional, making sure each element you add is consistent with the rest.

In addition, you canadd materials such as leather, pearls or even diamonds and stones depending on the occasion and what you want to achieve with your look. Just remember, less is more and you don't need to use it all at once.

Take care of the sizes

Both in chains and in rings, bracelets, earrings and watches, The size of the piece should be proportional to your size and height, taking care that they have the appropriate thickness, length and width so that it does not seem that everything is too big for you or that you do not have room for something else.

With the chains, if you are going to change several, you must take care that the length of each one is different and that they have a good weight, since otherwise they can end up tangled.

dress for the occasion

The jewelry you wear should be appropriate for the type of event. For situations cAsual or by day it can be more colorful and go for less luxurious materials, while for black-tie or evening events, gold (yellow or white) and glitter are more effective, as they add elegance to a suit or tuxedo.

Don't hide behind her

Don't use the jewelry like armor, but like a way to show your personality. This means that you don't need to use all your pieces at once as a distraction, but rather choose wisely, only adding items that really have a reason to be there.

Wearing too much jewelry will not only make your neck, hands and wrists feel heavy, it can also damage the pieces and create the effect that you are wearing a real costume and outfit.

Look for versatility and minimalism

If you want parts that you can use with more types of outfits and styles, then you have to look for versatile styles that are easy to combine, pieces that will not overshadow your everyday look, but that look “dressy” enough to wear in more formal situations. The idea is that it becomes part of your personal stamp in terms of style.

Also, you don't need chunky chains and bracelets, sometimes less is more and an element with a minimal and subtle design can be much more elegant and intelligent, like the simple chain that Jake Gyllenhaal has come to use with his suits.

Look for quality

Wedding rings and heirloom pieces (or family heirlooms) go beyond the rules and you can wear them with anything.

do not force it

Finally, don't force yourself to wear things you don't like just because they are trending. Not every piece is for everyone, so instead of trying to match a trend, match the trend to your style and look for options that you're comfortable with.
