Men’s Necklace: Everything you should know about
Let’s discuss some common questions that people ask before purchasing men’s necklaces for themselves. These will give you a better idea about which ones to buy.
What are the different types of men’s necklaces?
Men have been wearing necklaces for years. They use such necklaces to improvise their attire and to complement their personality and overall look as well.
If you are more into a military-style look and like to keep it casual, dog tags are a good option. They are super casual and widely popular from world war times. You can opt for chain necklaces or big chunky pendant necklaces if you like to make a fashion statement. You can also wear symbolic religious emblems on your chains. Or you can go for some colourful beaded necklaces and chokers for a bohemian look.
What size necklace should a man wear?
Different types of men’s necklaces are suitable for different lengths. Most necklace chains are worn at the collar bone level and are usually around 20 to 22 inches long. Necklaces that include a pendant, dog tag, or a religious emblem look great at the middle of the chest and should have a length of around 22 to 24 inches. You can wear these inside or outside of the shirt.
Necklaces with a large pendant are meant to be worn on the outside of a shirt. Plus, they should be around 24 to 30 inches in length.
Which kind of necklace chain won’t pull hair?
Most men have thicker, coarse hair at the back of the neck. However, this should not stop you from wearing a stylish men’s necklace. You should not buy Herringbone and omega chains as these might pull on your hair a little. Instead, go for ball, box, curb, marina, and Figaro chains to prevent your hair from getting caught on your necklace chains.
How to style men’s necklace?
Men’s necklaces are worn to complement your style, and you can have fun with different types of necklaces to find the ones that go the best with your personality. Use gold or silver necklace chains and adorn them with other metal jewellery pieces or layer multiple chains of various thicknesses. Use thick chains for larger pendants and wear them with a V-neck T-shirt or an open-buttoned collar shirt to create a statement.
Summary
Men have been wearing necklaces for years. Some wear stylish chunky ones for fashion purposes while some wear symbolic pendants, coins and other religious emblems for their deeper meanings and historical significance.
However, the purpose behind these men’s necklaces doesn’t really matter if you know how to carry them well with your overall attire. Try mixing and matching different types of necklace chains and style them with different outfits to find what compliments your personality the most.
