Current necklaces for men - trends for the season
Those who pay reverence to the topic of neck chains are currently on trend. Even with the current layering look for neck chains, the maxim for men applies: less is more. Delicate neck chains are enough to set a fashionable scene. Heavy chain links, on the other hand, appear bulky and flashy.
The choice of metals for ring necklaces has become more relaxed. The previously valid taboo against mixing silver and gold jewelry has been lifted. A fashion-conscious man may combine a silver bracelet with a gold ring necklace or a golden signet ring without it being seen as a fashion faux pas. Only in the rap scene do they still show off with bulky ring chain links. Among style-conscious men, more delicate ring necklaces that exude unobtrusive elegance score points.
If you like glitter effects, you can also wear a fine glitter ring necklace with diamonds around your neck in 2024. The outfit should look correspondingly elegant. On the other hand, men look uniquely sexy and masculine with distinctive stainless steel ring chains with carabiner clasps or a simple, pendant-free ring necklace made of sterling silver. Both go well with casual, loose trousers and an oversize tee as well as with a casual blazer when it may or must be a bit dressier.
Gold chains with pendants are still in demand. Classic pendant symbols like crosses or zodiac signs apparently never go out of fashion. How about a black onyx pendant on a silver chain instead? In the layering style with a silver chain without a pendant, this creates a wonderfully timeless look. Looking at the neck jewelry of prominent trendsetters like actor Timothée Chalamet or tennis player Alexander Zverev should encourage bringing more variety into the male jewelry box.
The influence of celebrities on the neck chain trend among men
Robert Pattinson wore a Cuban chain made of stainless steel with a turtleneck sweater at a Batman press conference. Such chains come in delicate or massive designs. Depending on length and weight, this chain type appears classically simple and masculine, but with overly massive chain links quickly flashy.
Those who don't like to overdo it choose a fine-linked Cuban chain. Ex-football pro David Beckham has always valued his appearance. This made him not only a jewelry influencer for his son Brooklyn. Both share a preference for slim gold chains. David Beckham likes to wear several gold chains in the trendy layering look. The neck jewelry on David never looks overloaded, but always masculine.
Anyone can be influenced by that. Fine gold chains can, according to today's style freedom, also be combined with silver chains or golden pendant chains. Singer Harry Styles, as a fashion influencer, relies on different neck jewelry. His trademark became the pearl necklace, which was previously reserved only for women. On Harry, pearl necklaces look so fabulous that they should be identified as unisex jewelry.
Just like colleague A$AP Rocky, Harry Styles occasionally poses for photographers with an oversized bling on his chain. When it comes to fashion, Harry is indeed style-defining. He wears traditionally feminine or typically masculine jewelry pieces with a casual attitude. Numerous celebrity exes appreciated Harry's style-defining influence.
Actor colleague Jared Leto is considered a Gucci muse because of his extravagant fashion taste. Jared has a penchant for unusual jewelry. He favors fine-link and extra-long gold chains that feature a pendant. With Jared, one can assume he prefers precious metal chains. Anyone who wants to be seen with a similar look on a bare chest at the beach should pay special attention to the chain clasp.
Those who combine a necklace with a ring in the Old Money style are doing everything right.
Layering of ring necklaces
Jewelry layering means combining two or more men's ring necklaces. Optimal are two ring necklaces, one of which is slightly longer than the other. Whether two chains without pendants but with differently wide chain links are combined or one ring necklace with and one without pendant, does not play a big role.
Combining a heavy and bulky Cuban Chain with a very fine-link men's ring does not work so well. The layering look can be optimally implemented with three necklaces that are minimally different in length but especially different in style. The advantage is that with this men's jewelry, each necklace can be worn individually or combined.
Our ring jewelry sets show how to properly implement the trendy layering style with two or three necklaces. Silver appears more understated than gold. It is also more versatile to combine with polo shirts or fine knit sweaters. In this example, any jewelry-loving man can see how the desired effect can be achieved with the layering look.
As always in fashion, directing attention is extremely important. A ring necklace draws the eye to the upper body and face. If a ring necklace is to be the focus in men's jewelry, a man should not distract the eye further with striking earrings, watches, and bracelets.
5 reasons why you should wear a ring necklace:
- Fine-link precious metal chains are trending
- Similarly long ring necklaces create a layering look
- Men wearing neck jewelry do not appear any less masculine
- In men's jewelry, ring necklaces are a fashion highlight
- The boundaries between men's and women's chains are blurring.
