Adding More Style with Mens Jewelry
While the standard suit shirt and tie can be somewhat uniform and boring looking, there are plenty of options to add more personal character to your ensemble. The secret lies in the accessories. While a nice colored necktie and pocket square already differentiate one ensemble from the next, there are many more ways to express a more personal touch on our business wear. This article focuses on men’s jewelry.
Matching Metal to Metal
As a general rule, you want to mach metal to metal. If you choose to wear a brown belt with golden belt buckle then you want to match other metals on your ensemble, such as wrist watch and cufflinks, to the buckle. The only exception is the wedding band since men usually don’t have different color wedding bands to choose from. Also, there is a general consensus that gold should be avoided after dark.
Considering Dress Codes
As a general rule, the more simple a piece of jewelry, the more formal it will appear. A simple and classic wrist watch without too much decoration is perfect for rigid professions that require a rigid and very professional attire. Formal dress codes such as black tie and white tie events do not call for a wrist watch. The only acceptable watch for white tie dress is a pocket watch that is attached to the waistcoat.

Too much ‘Bling-Bling”
Keep your accessories of jewelry classic and elegant. Too much bling will be considered tacky and obnoxious. Never wear any other ring other than a wedding band, avoid wearing necklaces and bracelets, and piercings in traditional business settings.
