Men’s Necklaces. What are the Peculiarities of Choice?
A necklace is perhaps the most widespread jewellery for men after watches. If bracelets and earrings are allowed to be worn by more daring representatives, then the chains have long conquered even the most conservative men. How to choose a proper one and what are the peculiarities of the men’s necklaces? Get the answer in this article.
What distinguishes male necklaces?
Jewellers and designers strive to create pieces that best suit men’s preferences. Traditionally, they try to emphasize strength, energy, masculinity. That is why men’s chains on the neck usually look more impressive, massive and solid than women’s.
If a pendant is planned for a man’s chain. The pendant should match the size and weight of the men’s chain (about two times lighter than the chain). For example, a small cross on a large chain will look inharmonious. Therefore, the length and thickness of the chain are selected in accordance with the suspension. By colour, it is customary that both parts of the decoration match.
How to choose a proper necklace for a man?
The thickness and length of the chain are selected depending on the size of the owner and style preferences. The thickness of the chain on a man’s neck may vary, but too thin are usually not worn. The larger the upper part of the man, the more massive the chain is allowed. The average thickness is 4-6 mm.
The minimum length for a man of the average build is 50-55 cm. A chain of this length does not fit tightly to the base of the neck, but rather freely lies at the level of the collarbone or below. For those who like the chain to be visible from under the open collar of the shirt, this is the optimal length. If the jewellery is planned to be worn under clothes, then chains from 60 cm will fit.
Short men’s chains are more associated with a business or sporty style. They are the most common among men. As we already mentioned, on a more massive neck, chains of larger size look more harmonious, including voluminous or flat weaves.
In a more “relaxed” environment, you can often find medium-length chains. The texture of such models can be either more catchy or calm.
What to style with a silver necklace?
Like gold, silver chains are now worn by men with almost any clothing. Modern fashion imposes fewer restrictions on style and makes it possible to freely express individuality. You can wear a chain, depending on the length, under or over a jumper, T-shirt, or around the neck with a shirt with the top pair of buttons unbuttoned.
Limitations can only be imposed by the situation. For example, with a formal suit (including in the office, at a business meeting, a gala event), noticeable chains may not be entirely appropriate. You should also consider the compatibility of the chain with other accessories – watches, bracelets. Metals of the same colour usually look best together – either yellow or white.
Recently, chains made of steel have become increasingly popular. Such chains are not only beautiful and durable but also personify masculine strength and iron will.
