How to wear a watch, yes there really is a right way!
Let’s start with something easy; how to wear a watch – the right way. When it comes to must have accessories for guys, watches are up there. Watches are one of the most important accessories for men, if not the number one essential piece. Not only are they practical, but they convey a serious sense of sophistication. Have you ever heard the statement that men are judged by their shoes? A similar case can be said when it comes to men’s watches. So, take a moment to think about how to wear a watch so it brings the best to your entire outfit.
Not all watches are excessively expensive, so we suggest you choose between one of these two options. Buy cheaper watches in different styles to match your different looks. Or better yet, get one that is somewhat more expensive, timeless and with a simple design that combines everything.
Buying high quality watches at a slightly lower price, doesn’t mean a compromise on style and personal flair. Like we mentioned earlier, watches and other accessories, can be a big indicator on your status and values. For those who believe in staying true to their eco-friendly core values, natural wood watches, like the sandalwood watches we have in our store, are a great way to reveal this. Delivering considerably less of a carbon footprint than its steel counterparts, this watch “breathes” meaning it’s never too tight as it expands and retracts with your body heat, making it far more comfortable that standard steel watches that tend to tighten in higher temperatures and “seize up”.
If the sandalwood watch was your watch of choice, this could be paired with a simple mens bracelet made of natural materials like leather or wood, such as the original style Nepal Handmade Leather Bracelet. This would keep the look simple, rugged and wearable.
Necklaces on guys, the rugged way.
Necklaces are usually considered one of the more feminine accessory. However, when it comes to necklaces on guys a simple variations such as chain style and length can make them look more masculine. As with most men’s jewelry, we suggest that if you are going to wear a necklace, go a little more ostentatious. Gold chains for men are always a good choice, the size of the link will depend on fashion or your own style
To give your chain another style, use it on a plain shirt as part of a simple outfit. The chain will give another dimension to your appearance, while delivering a little ‘bling’. It doesn’t matter how many pendants you use (without going so far that you could challenge Mr T’s chain collection). In fact, as long as they are in good taste, they can look great when they overlap. The next aspect is to find the ideal design of the necklaces for men. When you go subtle and simple, a necklace becomes one of the must have accessories that can elevate your whole look.
Bracelets for men, keeping it masculine
When it comes to bracelets for men, it can be a sure hit or a miss, making a substantial difference to an outfit. Gone are the days when we collected lucky ribbons and festival wristbands worn half way up our elbows; men’s wristwear has grown up, become rugged and stylish. But what bracelets make it into our must have accessories list, and what are the ones that you should steer clear of?
As the bracelet goes on your wrist, we suggest you combine the same color with your watch, even if you do not wear them on the same arm. This is really a general rule that you should try to follow. Matching the color of your jewelry will create an appearance that works harmoniously.
Combining gold and silver jewelry is somewhat of a current trend. However, be forewarned, this is very difficult to pull off without looking like you’ve just raided your local pawn shop. Only the most seasoned fashion forward men can stand up to such a challenge.
Ringadingding, Rings for men
Rings for men are the preferred jewelry when it comes to accessories for men. That’s why most of the male jewelry brands focus their collections solely on mens rings. The number of rings you use depends completely on your style. Some men like to load their hands with rings, while others prefer a simple stamp with a simple design. If you’re new to the game of rings, we suggest you use one per hand (unless you already use a wedding band). The same rule as for bracelets applies to the color of your rings. Try to match the colors with the rest of your look.
Rings are something personal, so choosing them correctly takes time. People have their favorites and any user of rings will agree that you feel very naked when you don’t have them on. Whether you are a lover of silver or gold, a ring can add an urban or elegant touch to any outfit.
Cufflinks, button covers, pins and tie clips.
This type of jewelry is one of the must have accessories, especially if you want to add a touch of style and class. If you are a beginner and still oblivious to the rules of the protocol of good male dress, do not play it fast and loose combining wild designs that oppose your tie clip. Bet on a set that’s already combined. Otherwise, the basic rule applies: same materials, same colors.
Summarizing Jewelry do’s and don’ts:
Watches: make sure that the style of your watch matches the style of your outfit. If you are wearing a suit, try not to wear a too casual watch.
Necklaces: necklaces look better on men when they are simple and discreet. Use a chain, with or without a pendant, on a simple shirt as part of a minimalist outfit.
Bracelets : if you wear a bracelet, make sure it matches the watch as much as possible. Too many colors do not work well.
Rings: the number of rings you wear depends entirely on your style. Make sure you get a good gold or silver ring so you do not leave marks on your fingers.
