6 Ways Men Can Style Silver Jewelry
Many of us choose early on in the wardrobe between 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 to the naked eye looks like silver), silver is also experiencing a renaissance in casual jewelry. From bold cuff bracelets to chunky rings to minimalist necklaces — silver is suddenly everywhere. At New York Fashion Week, the Coach runway was strewn with silver name chains, while the 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 naturally bring silver-colored accessories into a look. Silver jewelry often has a dystopian mood and effect. Especially in contrast to black clothing like pants or sweaters. But also with 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 bracelet, looks great for example over a wide-sleeved sweater to slightly restrict it.
02 Elegant Silver Watches
If you are just starting to get into 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 said: silver with silver and gold with gold. But nowadays, everything is allowed. The best way to mix metals in relation to 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 directly 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 celebrate a party, a bangle 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 are 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 in greeting or a heated discussion - with your hands you express emotions. And your personality can also be read from your hands. Use massive and bulky 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.
