Occasions, situations, time of the year, time of the day, social conditioning, economic factors, environment, and culture – there is a lot that dictates how you groom, dress up and accessorize yourself at different times.
However, everyone appreciates a well-dressed, well-groomed, smart, and sharp-looking man who has a distinctive sense of style and carries himself with confidence. After all, you could have the fanciest of watches and the most expensive suits, but none of it matters if you don’t know how to carry it with aplomb and the right attitude.
1. Understand the environment
Dress for the occasion, they say, and they are right! It is imperative that you are aware of where you are headed, what the occasion is, and what the most appropriate outfit would be. Once you know this, you can then experiment with it and add your own embellishments to make a statement while always ensuring that you are not sticking out like a sore thumb.
2. Trust the timeless classics to always work
You just cannot go wrong with suits, jackets, trousers, blazers, and shirts. If you like dressing up like a gentleman, don’t second-guess yourself. Go for the timeless look and you will make heads turn for sure. A great way to layer your outfit with accessories is by sporting a subtle 14k gold Cuban chain. If your clothes don’t make heads turn, the chain definitely will!
3. Layer up with chains
That brings us to the next big trend – chains! Men’s neck chains are more popular than ever before because they are so versatile and eye-catching in nature. Whether you like the voluminous and chunky 14k gold Cuban chains or prefer the more subtle necklaces with gold pendants, there is no dearth of choices in the online and physical marketplaces today. Box chains, rope chains, Cuban chains, curb chains, wheat chains – take your pick from the massive variety of options based on what you think perfectly complements your personal style. At So Icy Jewelry, you will find a dizzying array of gold chains for men in diverse designs, shapes, sizes, and colors.
4. Ensure the right fit
Ill-fitted clothing and ill-sized accessories like gold jewelry can really throw people off. Getting the perfect fit is the key to looking dapper. Whether it is a three-piece suit or a 10k gold pendant, always make sure you get the right size for your body. For clothing, you can get it stitched or altered by a professional tailor. And for jewelry accessories, you have So Icy Jewelry for all your needs!
5. Remember, less is always more
Remember this golden rule for almost everything you do – less is always more. Men often commit the crime of over-indulging in clothes and accessories, but a heavily layered look is a strict no-no in 2023. Opt for a minimalistic look, whether it is casual or formal. Let your natural features, like your face and hair, become the focal points rather than wearing too much of anything.
6. Match and move like a pro
Pairing your metals correctly is very important. If your belt has a gold-colored buckle, you must never go for silver jewelry. Just like you always pair your belt and your shoes in terms of color, you should do the same when it comes to base metal colors as well. Say you decide to wear a 14k gold pendant around your neck – it is critical that you ensure your earring, bracelet, watch, etc. complements the gold pendant rather than clashing with it.
7. Watches are back in vogue
Gold watches, considered a thing of the past, started making a stunning and quite unexpected comeback towards the end of last year and this trend is set to become only stronger this year. Whether you like gold or silver, there is a multitude of options to choose from in both the luxury wear segment as well as the affordable wristwatch segments. Again, selecting a watch comes down to your personal preferences as well as how you intend to pair it with different outfits. There are some that look great with all kinds of clothing and then there are those that are meant to be paired with only certain types of outfits. Sporty watches, classic wristwatches, diamond-studded silver watches, regal gold watches – the list of choices is endless. In the end, the choice is yours, but make sure you pick a watch that fits your budget and becomes the point of focus in any room you enter!
8. Suit up!
If you have been a HIMYM fan, you are probably already subscribed to Barney’s theory of suiting up. Suits make you look absolutely dapper, provided you get them tailored to your body type. And remember, simply donning a good-looking suit is never enough – it must be complemented by accessories that complete the overall look. Invest in chic accessories like ties, pocket squares, cufflinks, and subtle jewelry pieces that will elevate your suited-up look and make people drool.
Sunglasses, sneakers, boots, open-toed sandals, bags, wallets, watches, earrings, studs, neck chains, bracelets, cufflinks, rings, and pendants – there is no end to how much you can experiment with accessorizing.
