Legendary designer Charles Eames once said, “The details are not the details. They make the design,” and he knew what he was talking about. Sure, your kicks, shirt, and pants make an impact. In fact, they’re probably the things on which people base their very first impression of you. But if you’re looking to take your fits up a level, you’ve got to explore the world of men’s silver jewelry. With the right jewelry, your looks take on a sense of expertise that simply can’t be achieved without those small, shiny details.
Unfortunately, men’s silver jewelry is a minefield. There’s a fine line between expert stacking and tacky excess. In fact, the line is so fine that many fellas won’t even give men’s jewelry a go. That’s a real shame, so we’ve linked up with MATCHESFASHION to offer up a sort of roadmap to navigate the tricky ground of jewelry.
From Raf Simons to Le Gramme, there’s a piece or two for all styles. Ranging from the understated to the attention-grabbing, pick your poison and have fun with it.
