Here's What Your Chain Says About You
Considering their size, accessories are up there with the most powerful assets in the wardrobe. At their best, they’re the finishing touches that can consolidate a great fit, but the wrong ones can look out of place and clunky. That’s why it’s so important to cop the accessories that say what you want them to say. Even the tiniest texture variations in jewelry can influence your final aesthetic, especially when it comes to men’s chains.
Your chain says a lot about your style and, therefore, a lot about you as a person, so make sure you’re wearing the right one. To help you translate the complicated language of men’s chains, we’ve put together a guide about what your chain says about you.
From classic chains through to bold, stone-embellished necklaces, our selection runs the gamut of men’s chains, so there’s got to be one that slots naturally into your aesthetic.
Find out which men's chains work for you below.
Classic Men's Chains
If you're new to jewelry then it's a good idea to keep things classic at first. These simple chains go with everything and won't dominate your look. They add a touch of personality to your outfits but only look to bolster your ensemble — they aren't the protagonist.
Tom Wood
Tom Wood has chains on offer for all styles. This snake-link chain is crafted for the minimalist, though.
ALL BLUES
ALL BLUES is a safe bet if you're still unsure where you stand with jewelry. You can't go wrong with great materials and minimal design.
Miansai
Miansai's Chain offers a classic piece with elongated interlinked hoops on a scissor clasp to wear front or back.
Classic with a Twist
The following chains are for those who are looking to add some variety to their looks without going all-out. Perfect for streetwear-leaning wardrobes, subverted classics retain the versatility of an understated chain while bringing a touch more attitude to the table.
Yvonne Leon
Yvonne Leon's Solitaire Necklace combines two different links. It makes for a chain which is versatile and unimposing but has great personality.
Frank Darling
Healers transplants two bold precious stones into this 18kt gold necklace to break up the understated chain.
Lizzie Mandler
Lizzie Mandler's Knife Edge Necklace combines an ultra-fine chain that you can barely see with a refined pendant.
Bold Men's Chains
These men's chains are for the fearless among us. Each one makes a bold statement with its colored metals, stones, and embellishments. If your wardrobe revolves around statement items, you're in the right place: these chains should be framed by dramatic pieces.
Éliou
Part gold tone chain, part stone necklace, this Éliou piece is unmissable.
Vivienne Westwood
Fashion-house jewelry is a contentious subject, but a talisman in shape of late Dame Vivienne's iconic orb should live outside said prejudice.
MAOR
Shay's bold Cuban-link bracelets and necklaces are definitely investment pieces, but for your investment, you get a beautifully made eye-catcher.
