Rules For Man-Jewels

Happy Monday everyone, I hope your week has started out how you hoped it would. This past weekend while I was out around town I saw a fellow bar patron sporting a pretty ridiculous look and it got me thinking about a few things. The look I am referring to? About five bracelets on one wrist, a necklace, a large cuff on the other wrist and more than a couple of rings. I am all for jewelry as long as it is tastefully done. For instance, a watch is great and every gentleman should have a nice, go to time piece. I have stated that many times before. Even a bracelet, one bracelet, is o.k. if its a classic sterling silver or gold or any other precious metal but that's about it. Now, exception to the rule? If you wear jewelry that has personal meaning to you. I wear a necklace that I was given when I turned 21 and my brother wears the exact same necklace that he received when he was 21. The difference is that it is personal and I keep it that way. I wear it under my shirt or undershirt, I don't wear it on the outside of my clothes. I also wear one silver ring that I was given as a present and it is a simple silver band. There is no conceivable reason that a man should feel the need to wear more jewelry than his girlfriend. A watch, or one metal bracelet, or even one thin leather bracelet is o.k. but leave it at that. I am not trying to hinder your personal sense of style, just giving it some guidance. Less is more on this one guys.

  1. When my man wears more jewellery; that's bad. In my opinion, everything on a man should be chunky. Chunky bangle (one of those leather things, guys should never wear metal on their wrist!), a chunky ring and a chunky watch. That's it. Necklaces are just too 70s-pornstar for my liking. :P

  2. Thanks for the comment Selaen. I think we're on the same page, but the word "chunky" makes me a little nervous. And yes, necklaces worn on the outside of your clothes are a bit "70's pornstar" that's why I keep my personal, sentimental necklace hidden on the inside of my shirts at all time.
