Can Men Wear Pearls?
Absolutely men can wear pearls! It’s not just today that pearls have become popular for men, in fact, they have been worn by both men and women all throughout history. For example, in ancient Rome, pearls were a symbol of wealth and status with men boasting pearl necklaces and bracelets as a sign of prosperity and success.
No gemstone is limited to one gender and we like to think that there are no rules when it comes to fashion and style - everyone should feel free to express themselves in whatever way they choose. So whether you want to go for a traditional mens chain or step outside your comfort zone with a pearl piece, the choice is yours!
In current fashion trends, pearls are becoming increasingly popular amongst men, and they’re the perfect way to say “I know my style”. A pearl necklace is a sign of confidence, and when paired with the right outfit, it can skyrocket your look to the next level.
Why Are Men Wearing Pearl Necklaces?
More and more, men are being allowed to express their personal style without fear of judgement as our society heads toward a more gender-inclusive stance on fashion. In many parts of the world, namely Western cultures, gender-norms are becoming more fluid, hence, men are increasingly feeling more comfortable exploring different styles and accessories that, for a period of time, were only associated with women. The blurring of lines between gendered fashion has created a safe place where people can wear whatever they want to! (Which is a fantastic thing).
Not only this, but pearls are a classic accessory that has recently been showcased by many male celebrities and influencers who have been seen wearing pearl necklaces; namely Harry Styles, Pharrell Willians, ASAP Rocky and Shawn Mendes.
Pearl jewellery worn by guys, including pearl rings, pearl bracelets and pearl necklaces give any look a vintage touch that injects a tougher edge to the elegance that is usually associated with the gemstone.
How To Style Pearl Necklace Men
There are so many ways to style a pearl necklace, and really, we think it’s quite easy. Pearls themselves are a statement piece, and for men, we think the best way to wear them is on their own. There’s no need to layer your jewellery when you have a beautiful pearl necklace to catch everyone's eye. Because of the gorgeous white lustre of pearls, they’re best worn with darker t-shirts and button-ups so that they really pop.
To go for a casual look, try a black T-shirt paired with your favourite jeans, sneakers and a trendy denim jacket. If you want to add some more jewellery, go for a silver mens ring to top it off.
If you would like to go for something more formal, then stick to the black theme with a turtleneck and black blazer with the pearl necklace worn over the top. Pair the look with a pair of plaid pants and a fancy boot to create a look that is sure to turn heads at your next function.
