6 Ways Men Can Style Silver Jewelry
Many of us choose early on in our wardrobe Team "Silver" or Team "Gold". But it cannot be denied that silver is currently experiencing a renaissance. Although it has always been a popular setting for diamonds (even though diamonds are technically mostly set in platinum or white gold, which looks like silver to the naked eye), silver is also experiencing a renaissance in casual jewelry. From bold cuff bangles to chunky rings to minimalist necklaces - silver is suddenly everywhere. At New York Fashion Week, the Coach runway was covered with silver name necklaces, while Gucci models had their hands loaded with rings, and at LVMH necklaces were repeatedly worn over sweaters. On the street, men and women wore various bracelets with mixed metals.
01 "Cuff" it
Silver jewelry always immediately makes us think of futuristic elements that silver-colored accessories naturally bring into a look. Silver jewelry often has a dystopian mood and effect. Especially in contrast to black clothing like pants or sweaters. But also to a light blue or anthracite gray, it is a gamechanger. Because the cool metal tone gives every outfit an edgy element, especially in oversized and organic shapes - not to say "edgy".
A chunky silver cuff, or a bracelet, looks great over a wide-sleeved sweater to slightly restrict it.
02 Elegant silver watches
If you are just starting to explore silver jewelry, begin with a delicate classic: a silver watch like the Rolex Datejust, a trendy vintage Cartier Santos, or the more affordable Tissot PRX.
03 Material mix
Traditionally it was: silver with silver and gold with gold. But nowadays everything is allowed. The best way to mix metals in jewelry is to use a wide range of textures and layers. For example, combine a smooth snake chain with another, more textured piece in a different length or a hammered surface. Or opt for a bicolor ring that unites gold and silver.
04 "Layering"
Sometimes two bracelets are better than one. If you can't decide on which arm to party, a cuff and bracelets of different thicknesses on each arm create symmetry in your outfit. Or use bracelets with and without stones. Especially for thicker wrists and longer arms, "layering" jewelry is a good option to optimize the free space and thus the proportions.
05 Shift the focus
Necklaces with or without pendants make a statement. Whether with a clear symbol like a cross, compass, or completely clean as a rope or Figaro chain - necklaces are not only close to the heart but conquer it in a casual way. Offer more details that can be discovered in your outfit.
06 Statement rings
Your hands are a central element of your gestures. Whether greeting or in a heated discussion – you express emotions with your hands. And your personality can also be read from your hands. Use massive and chunky rings or fine minimalist rings to show whether you are extroverted or rather introverted – loud or rather quiet. Add some extravagance to a reserved outfit or emphasize a minimalist look.
