Men's Necklaces - Do You Know How To Wear Them? A Guide for the Daring

GQ magazine calls out: be a man – wear a necklace! Men's fashion is not just about jackets, trousers, and shirts. The days are gone when the only acceptable forms of men's jewelry were a watch, cufflinks, and a ring. A well-chosen necklace can look exceptionally appealing and attractive, adding an unruly boy's charm. Find your style and choose the right necklace for you.

Men's medallions, pendants, and talismans

The perfect necklace for a man is one that looks like you've been wearing it for years. It should rather reflect your character and personality, not meticulously complete a chosen outfit.

One option for men's necklaces are medallions and necklaces with pendants (charms) in various shapes, e.g., a flying swallow, an eagle feather, or a flowered branch. These are supposed to serve as a kind of talisman protecting against negative energy. You can wear them on metal chains as well as on leather cords. Those hung close to the neck are best suited to casual outfits and pair perfectly with loose t-shirts with a deep v-neck. If you prefer to hang your talisman on a longer chain, you can boldly pair it with an unbuttoned shirt or jacket, and the v-neck of your t-shirt may be less deep.

Military memento, or men's necklaces in military style

If you like the military style of dressing, the necklace you should consider is the timeless dog tag, popularly known as "plates" or from English "dog tags".

This type of necklace is usually worn by soldiers and motorcyclists who often face life-threatening situations and for safety reasons wear rectangular plates with punched names and surnames (sometimes also a nickname) and blood group, which should be provided in case of an accident. Original "dog tags", as well as those stylized by jewelry designers, combine well with sporty shirts and the extremely popular bombers this season.

Men's necklaces in boho and ethno style

Do you feel like playing with fashion? Go wild with ethno or boho necklaces. If you like a loose, artistic, and slightly careless style of dressing, reminiscent of the heyday of French bohemia, bold necklaces finished with natural stones, beads, and feathers are what you need to complete your outfit.

Don't be afraid to show others who you are and show your inner Burning Man, putting on a basic set - a black jacket and a white undershirt - a necklace with colorful feathers or a large talisman hung on a leather cord.

Are you afraid that it will take away your masculinity? Remind yourself of the silhouette of the testosterone-dripping Sulli from Dr. Quinn, who under the deeply unbuttoned shirt wore a long necklace adorned with feathers and colorful beads, and then ask one of your female friends what she thinks about it. The answer will be unequivocal.
