The world of men’s jewelry can be pretty intimidating for even the most stylish guys. Generally speaking, men’s jewelry has a tendency to skew chunky and harsh—think huge novelty rings—which makes it harder to integrate into your everyday look. But as the rise of gender-neutral fashion continues to spread, the amount of men’s options has increased and become much sleeker. It’s finally time for men’s jewelry to shine.
Since jewelry is one of the more daunting areas to explore, it’s hard to know where to begin. You can’t just throw it on with the same ease that you might a snapback or pair of sunglasses. A little more tact is needed to figure out what items will work best for you. Are you a dangly earring type, like the late and great George Michael, or a simple chain type, like 2020 style icon Paul Mescal? Play around until you figure it out—experimentation is the name of the game.
Bracelets are an easy gateway drug to more daring pieces. They’re simple-yet-stylish, flashy without being loud, and can be integrated into your everyday wear pretty with minimal difficulty. Plus, they look great next to a watch. Fortunately, there are plenty to choose from, whether it be a minimalist cuff or a refined leather bracelet. We’ve rounded the 12 best bracelets for men to wear now.
