Which necklaces are for men?
Whether a necklace suits a man is above all a matter of personal taste. Among men, these variations are especially popular:
- plain link chains in silver tones or a gold look for an understated appearance
- necklaces with a pendant, for example a cross, a tag or a small symbol
- pearl necklaces or beaded styles for a relaxed, summery look
- chunkier curb or anchor chains for a bolder style
Whether understated or eye-catching, the right necklace depends on your own style. If you prefer something restrained, choose a slim chain; if you want more of a statement, combine several lengths.
What length should a men's necklace be?
The most common lengths for men lie between about 45 and 60 cm. A chain of around 50 cm usually sits just below the collar. Shorter chains emphasise the neck and sit closer, while longer ones reach down to the chest and are more of a statement. If you'd like to wear several chains layered, it's best to combine different lengths so they show to good effect. The exact length is given in each product description.
What does a necklace mean for men?
For most men, a necklace is above all a fashion accessory that helps underline an outfit and express personal style. Some necklaces also carry a personal meaning – a pendant with a symbol that matters to the wearer, say, or a keepsake. What a necklace means is therefore up to each individual.
How do I combine a men's necklace?
A necklace pairs nicely with other jewellery. It shows to particularly good effect with a plain T-shirt or an open shirt. For a coordinated look, you can match it in colour to a bracelet or a watch – silver tones with silver tones, for instance. A matching belt rounds off the picture too. Less is often more here: one or two well-chosen accessories look more refined than too many at once.
