Current necklaces for men - trends for the season

Those who pay homage to the topic of rings are currently on trend. Even with the current layering look for rings, the maxim for men applies: less is more. Delicate rings are enough to set a fashionable scene. Heavy ring links, on the other hand, look bulky and showy.

The choice of metals for rings has been relaxed. The previously valid taboo of never mixing silver and gold jewelry has been lifted. A fashion-conscious man may combine a silver bracelet with a gold ring or a golden signet ring without it being considered a fashion faux pas. Only in the rap scene do they still show off with bulky ring links. Among style-conscious men, more delicate rings that exude unobtrusive elegance score points.

Those who like glitter effects can also wear a fine glitter ring with diamonds around their neck in 2024. The outfit should look correspondingly elegant. On the other hand, men look uniquely sexy and masculine with striking stainless steel rings with carabiner clasps or a simple ring made of sterling silver without a pendant. Both go well with casual and wide fabric pants and oversized tees as well as with casual blazers when it needs to 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 style. 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 looks 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 gold pendant chains. Singer Harry Styles, as a fashion influencer, relies on different neck jewelry. His trademark became the pearl necklace, which until now was 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 presents himself to photographers with an oversized ring on his chain. When it comes to fashion, Harry is simply style-defining. He wears traditionally feminine or typically masculine jewelry 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 extravagant jewelry. He favors fine-linked and extra-long gold chains that feature a pendant. With Jared, you 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.

Whoever combines a necklace with a ring in the Old Money style, does everything right.

Layering of necklaces

Jewelry layering means combining two or more men's necklaces. Optimal are two 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 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 chain does not fit 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.

Necklaces made of silver for men

Our chain 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-affine man can see how the desired effect can be achieved with the layering look.

As always in fashion, directing attention is extremely important. A necklace draws the eye to the upper body and face. If a 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 necklace:

  1. Fine-link precious metal chains are trending
  2. Similarly long necklaces create a layering look
  3. Men with neck jewelry do not appear less masculine
  4. In men's jewelry, necklaces are a fashion highlight
  5. The boundaries between men's and women's chains are blurring.
