Jewelry has been a staple in men’s fashion for a long time. While it’s usually been centered around watches from brands such as Rolex and G-Shock, rappers and hip-hop artists have popularized chain necklaces. In the past few years, young men around the world have been getting into chain necklaces, styling them in various ways and adding a new element to their outfits. For some of them, however, it has been hard to work chains into their style. If you fall into this category, stick around to learn three different ways to style chains for men.
The simplest way to style a chain is by starting off small. Don’t go online and order a bunch of different chains thinking you’ll be able to work all of them into your style. Just like clothing, you have to figure out what works for you. With jewelry being a bit more expensive, it’s important to pick a piece that you are comfortable with. From there, it will be easier to figure out what chains work best for you and tailor them to your style. Personally, I started off with a simple cross chain necklace, and I figured out how to work it with my style until I was comfortable enough to build on it. If you want to easily work chain necklaces into your style, that’s definitely one way to start.
If your style is flexible, silver chains are a reliable choice. They go with a number of different colors and combinations, whether you wear them with pendants or not. If you like to keep your style a bit more structured: style a silver chain with a darker top along with a pair of light khakis or chinos. This creates a simple look that still turns heads—elegant and classy without being too flashy—with a silver chain only adding to the look.
If you want to elevate your look with something that’s more bold, gold chains are the choice for you. Gold chains are often harder to style if you are just getting into jewelry; if you know what works for you and you built enough confidence up, they can mix well with your style. When worn with an outfit that’s more relaxed and lowkey, gold chains can serve as a statement. They meld well with dark tops, whether it be a graphic tee or a turtleneck; if you are able to consistently pair them with elegant, high-end inspired styles, gold chains can become a key piece in your daily fits.
There are a number of other ways you can style chains. Take note that, before diving into other methods, it’s important to take into account the above-mentioned methods. If you understand how to style silver and gold chains—while remembering it’s important to keep it simple sometimes—you’ll be able to build your personal style, learning how to layer jewelry and tailor it best to suit your needs.
