STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Beads For Boys

One of the most fun aspects of putting together an outfit is choosing just the right accessories to top it off. Selecting the right jewelry, for example, can make or break a look. I personally never feel quite satisfied unless I have a pair of earrings in. Statement jewels have the power to make me feel sparkly in an otherwise plain ensemble. But who says girls get to have all the fun when it comes to jewelry?

One reoccurring runway trend is the implementation of conventionally masculine styles into women’s clothing. As traditional gender roles become increasingly defied in the workplace and in the home, so do they in the world of fashion. Designers have been continuously blurring the line between masculinity and femininity. In a world of women’s suits, boxy fits and boyfriend jeans, men should feel free to experiment with fashion as well. It’s time for males and females alike to embrace their personal style without feeling any pressure or limits, and accessorizing with jewelry is an easy way to start!

This Fashionisto does an excellent job of sporting male jewelry in a subtle and casual way. His beaded necklace gives off a relaxed, boho vibe. It works well with the color of his beanie, and really pops against his neutral layers. I particularly enjoy the way he paired this piece with a patterned shirt. His slouchy cardigan and unique sneakers both add to the comfortable look as well. The dark pants keep the outfit grounded. This Fashionisto proves that jewelry doesn’t have to be elaborate in order to make a statement.

This Fashionisto is a shining example that men should not feel limited to cufflinks and wristwatches in everyday wear. His necklace adds a personal touch, and brings uniqueness to the outfit. If beads aren’t your style, you could try a pendant necklace, bracelet or ring.
