Accessorizing with Men’s Necklaces: The DOs & DONTs

mens-necklace-guide-fashionThe necklace is a rather misunderstood accessory in men’s fashion. After all, just about anyone who has attempted to wear a necklace without putting any time or thought into it, has run into a veritable fashion brick wall. That said, there are countless ways to make the right necklace work for you, regardless of how you typically tend to put yourself together in the morning. By learning more about how men’s necklaces can be worn in an attractive manner, you’ll be well on your way to adding a subtle accent to your appearance and attracting just a bit more attention to yourself for all the right reasons.

Focus on Staying Proportionate
One of the first and most important things that you need to take into consideration when setting out to choose the necklace that is right for you is its size. Like anything else, the size of a necklace will make or break whether or not it looks right on your body. It’s wise, then, to consider approaching necklace size the way you would the length and width of a tie; staying proportionate to your body type is of the utmost importance. A necklace that is too small will cause you to appear as if you’re trying to choke yourself, while those which are excessively large will make you look like a twig with a chain around it. When striving for a proportionate necklace, use your inner judgment; if it looks or feels too large/small, it very likely is.

Avoid Pendants
It can be very tempting for men who are new to necklaces to strive to wear those which feature pendants. Indeed, pendants are rather popular, and are available in a great deal of different shapes and sizes, not to mention materials. That said, pendants often take away from one’s appearance more than support it, and tend to stand out like a sore thumb. For example, the glass pendant rope necklace may seem like a good idea, but it’ll do little more than make you look like a mid-90s hippie throwback; something that no fashion-forward guy will benefit from. Stick to plain, subtle chains made out of attractive metals for best results, which will accent your appearance rather than serve as the main event.

Consider Your Skin Tone
Skin Tone can have a rather large impact on whether or not certain elements of men’s fashion look right on certain individuals, and this cannot be more true when it comes to necklaces. When choosing the perfect necklace, you’ve got to consider your skin tone in order to avoid making any major mistakes. The goal here is to create contrast. Men with dark skin, for example, will be doing themselves a disservice by wearing a black necklace, as silver or gold will create far more contrast. Fair-skinned individuals, however, will get a lot of mileage out of a darker-colored necklace. Experiment to find which colors bring the most balance to your appearance.
