You’ve probably wondered what takes her so long to get ready. Women are spoilt for options in clothing and accessories. Men, however, make a choice between jeans or pants and t-shirt or shirt, no matter what the occasion. Yes, that may be an exaggeration, but you get the picture. Luckily, international designers introduced men’s gold chains to stir things up a bit.
Fashion has always been influenced by time and place; men’s gold chains too have been inspired by European traditions. A symbol of power and supremacy, these chains are available in Cuban, Byzantium, and Italian designs among others.
While many believe a gold chain worn by a man can be gaudy, truth is, it depends on your style sensibility. Men’s gold chains are available in many varieties from Figaro chain designs to Hip hop style chains. You don’t have to stick to yellow gold; - you can always opt for white gold which may camouflage as platinum.
Talking about forms, the Rope chain, a woven beauty, is a sophisticated addition to your wardrobe. It is made with two or more strands of gold intertwined to resemble a rope. The Figaro chain is a classic with a repeating pattern of three short links connected to one long link. Also popular are the Curb, the Box, the Franco, and the Mariner chains.
When you select your gold chain, consider the width. If you were to choose a thicker chain, it is important to match it up with the right attire. Slim chains suit everyone and can be worn with or without a pendant.
Pendants may be crafted in conventional shapes such as squares and circles. These days more innovative shapes are surfacing, often studded with diamonds and gemstones. Zodiac signs and initials also make interesting pendants. Thick chains can be worn with Dog Tag or Cross pendants for a casual but cool look.
Tuck your chain into your shirt for a refined appeal, but if you are going Hip hop, feel free to wear it over your shirt. Hip hop bling is all about bold and big. Bling is in, but it won’t suit everyone. If you are over forty, stick to slick and purchase slimmer varieties of gold chains.
Women often purchase costume jewelry, and you too, may be tempted to buy inexpensive alternatives to gold chains. Alas, there are no substitutes for them. A knock off can be spotted easily, and it will discolor. Men’s gold chains ought to be authentic gold.
You want to look mature and masculine. The color of plated chains may be a little too sparkly or a little too dull. If price is a concern, a number of online retail stores offer men’s gold chains at discounted rates.
