...a timeless style accessory for gentlemen...
I hear it said often that most men feel they don't have a variety of fashion "choices" when it comes to dressing for classic style.
Rings, watches, necklaces/pendants and bracelets are among the top go-to's for gentlemen when we decide to accessorize our fashion.
It's my thought that a well chosen ring, bracelet, pendant/necklace are critical choices for a man to feel comfortable with his accessories. If the accessory selection is not given consideration for how well it will "blend" with the mans personal style then often the fellow will feel "conspicuous" when wearing any type of fashion accessory at all.
Truth be known... Men are much more fragile {than we are often thought to be} when it comes to how friends and loved ones perceive us. A poorly chosen personal accessory will certainly lead to silent damage of the male psyche and cause us to "steer clear" of any fashionable accessory that might cause such us such consternation.
Unfortunately {in my 30+ years} of retail fashion outlet ownership I have seen this time and time again.
Men are fragile creatures... Especially when we venture in what we might feel is unfamiliar/uncharted territory of the "male fashion accessory"!
"Errr on the side of classic!"... Is one piece of advice I always hope to my gentlemen clients learn from me when it comes to accessorizing. An amazing thing... We {men} can always "upgrade" styles and get more "bold" with your personal style as you feel more comfortable with who you are. There is no edict on what is fashionable for a man to accessorize with... really, there's not!!!
The only aspect that really must be considered when it comes to accessorizing for men is your personal level of comfort with your style.
What you might think to try...
Native / Western style.
From my experience quality pieces of Native / Western are always trendy and in vogue! Accessorizing with a classic piece of Native / Western you'll feature a style idea that is actually "in" regardless of the fleeting - immediate fashion trends.
Classic Native / Western has served men well for decades. More than likely {and way before mass-media had a stake in fashion trends} your grandfather or great grandfather probably work Native / Western.
Give it some thought but choose gently... Try something classic in style then ramp it up from there.
A few pieces I like in particular are pictured below. If these particular pieces I feature are available {as quality Native / Western is almost always handmade and very limited in quantity} simply use them as a basis for you alternate selection.
Take the pictures to a local outlet {or an online outlet} and show them to the staff, they should have a handle on similar pieces for you to try.
If you feel uncomfortable when you try it on go for something more conservative and/or more robust. Believe it or not I have personally tried on rings and watches that I felt immediately were "too dainty" or "too small" for me {and I'm not a big guy!}. But my personality is larger and I feel comfortable wearing bolder accessories.
Find a retailer {online or traditional style} that you can dialog with and begin a wonderful experience discovering your personal style.
