Fashion For Men

You Can't Go Wrong With These Accessories

Selecting a fashion accessory that is both cool and will still be in style for several years can be difficult to manage. Popular culture and current trends seem to overwhelm you with messages that try to redefine your definition of cool. Ultimately, it is always up to you on what you want to wear, and the opinion of others should not sway you to think otherwise. With that in mind, we have compiled a short list of common accessories that have been immune to changing times and popular trends:


Jewelry

While jewelry may not be the first thought that comes to mind when considering cool fashion accessories, many men incorporate this into their daily wear it all depends on what items you choose. Below are several examples of popular pieces that men tend to wear.


Rings

If you purchase a chain, a ring of the same metal color should be next on your list. If you choose a different metal color, you'll convey the exact opposite of cool if, for example, you wear a silver chain and gold rings. Having said that, you have many options in terms of styles and the number of rings you wish to wear. With men's rings and men's jewelry in general it helps to choose understated pieces which tells people that you're not trying too hard to be noticed. With this in mind, select a ring that does not have many stones or varying colors.


Chains

When it comes to neck chains, quality will go a long way in showing how good you look, and it will also add to the life of your jewelry. Cheap material such as leather cords and stainless steel curb chains are not only out of style, but have a very short life. Instead, invest in a chain that is a bit more timeless yet fashionable, such as silver, white gold, or platinum.


An understated silver, white-gold, or platinum men's chain that is thin enough to be worn under a shirt but wide enough to be seen gives a glimmer of cool. The key is to not have the largest, most blinding piece of jewelry they make as this conveys that you're trying too hard. Instead, wear your chain under your shirt so that people can catch it when you move your head but it doesn't hit them like a flashlight the second they meet you. This means you should choose a length that is not tight to your neck but not long enough to reach your belly button it should hit the middle of your chest when standing straight.

Whether you choose to purchase a chain, ring, or a leather jacket, take your time and choose the style that you like don't shop for anyone else other than yourself. Choose pieces that don't draw too much attention to yourself but still express who you are. This will not only ensure that you are buying items that can be worn in a variety of situations, but also retain the coolness factor since the epitome of being cool is appearing as though you're not even trying.
