A Brief Guide for Men to Wearing Chain Necklaces
Among
men’s jewelry, necklaces are considered the hardest items to wear. As a matter
of fact, any man can wear a necklace with style. All you need to do is to
follow some simple guides.
Precious
metal is always preferable when choosing necklaces for men. And sterling silver
is the most popular choice for its charming luster, versatility and reasonable
price.
Chain’s Width
Try
to choose chain that fits your size. If you are a slim guy, then slim chains
between 2 mm and 4 mm will fit you well. If you have a large size and thick
neck, wider chains may look more proportional.
We
have a selection of men’s sterling silver chains from 1 mm to 8 mm wide.
Generally speaking, 2 mm is about as wide as the headphone wire of a mobile
phone, 6 mm is about as wide as a pencil.
Chain’s Length
The
length of a chain necklace affects your overall style, especially the type of
shirts you wear. Whether it hangs above the shirt or hide underneath will give
you a total different look. We have a collection of men’s chain necklace
ranging from 16 inches to 32 inches.
16”-18”:
Shortest, choker-style chains for men, falling just around the base of the
neck. They usually hang above a low collar and people can see the whole chain.
20”-24”:
The most common lengths for men’s chain necklaces. They can be worn under a
T-shirt or a button-down shirt, leaving most of the links visible with the open
collar.
26”-32”:
The relatively long lengths that will fall around the sternum. They can be worn
outside of a shirt, usually without any pendant.
Please
keep in mind that you should choose chain necklaces according to your own
height and size. Larger people will need wider and longer chain necklaces than
petite ones.
