If you’ve been struggling to find your signature style and you haven’t tried adding a few pieces of jewellery to your look, you could really be selling yourself short. Investing in classic men’s jewellery pieces can elevate even the most casual outfits. Whether you’re heading out on a date night, want to look smart for a day in the office or you just want to really nail your signature style, adding classic jewellery pieces is a great place to start. Men have been wearing jewellery for centuries, and if you want to get in on the action, this is exactly the place to start. These are the tips and tricks you should keep in mind whilst trying to find your signature look with jewellery.

Quality Over Quantity 

When it comes to adding jewellery to your everyday outfit rotation, less really is more! Invest in a few high-quality pieces from brands you love that you can wear every single day rather than opting for cheap jewellery prone to tarnishing or wear and tear. Regardless of the type of look you want to achieve, whether that’s something sleek and classic or something bold and unique, investing in high-quality men’s jewellery pieces really does make all the difference! Try to stick to jewellery made from materials that will last for years like silver, gold or platinum. Whilst it might be a greater up-front investment having pieces that will last a lifetime will be much more cost-effective than having to repurchase your pieces every time they tarnish.

Know What You Like 

When it comes to finding your signature style and using jewellery to elevate your look, you really have to know what you like. Do you prefer simpler pieces, or are you looking for something that makes a statement? Are you a gold guy, or do you fancy silver? Knowing what you like really makes all the difference when it comes to finding jewellery you can add to your everyday outfit rotation. If you’ve never experimented with adding jewellery before, it might take some trial and error to find out what you like. Try to visit showrooms or stores where you can try on different pieces before committing to making a purchase. Try rings, bracelets, chains, and watches to find what suits your style and best complements your wardrobe. 

Start With The Classics 

When you’re just beginning your journey into men’s jewellery, it’s best to start with the classics. Choose timeless shapes and styles that will integrate seamlessly as you grow your collection with more unique pieces. Invest in high-quality classics like a great signet ring or a few men’s silver chains, these pieces are the perfect place to start your jewellery collection. They’re classics for a reason, and investing in timeless designs allows you to begin your collection with a few pieces you will have forever. They can even be passed down through the family as an heirloom.

Don’t Be Afraid To Experiment 

When it comes to finding your signature style, there’s a lot of experimentation along the way! Lean into different staples, colours and pieces of jewellery so that you can really nail exactly what you like. You can also experiment with layering pieces, which is a great way to add some interest and depth to your look. This could be stacking rings, layering chains or pairing your watch with bracelets or bands. Don’t just stick to trending pieces or bits you see on social media; the best thing about finding your signature style is that it’s unique to you! 

Take Good Care Of Your Pieces 

No matter what stage of your jewellery collecting journey you’re at, taking care of your pieces is key to ensuring everything looks its best and – more importantly – lasts for years! Clean your jewellery regularly – particularly if you’re wearing it daily. Clean your jewellery with a soft cloth and warm soapy water, you can even gently scrub your jewellery with an extra soft toothbrush if your pieces are particularly grimy. Invest in a jewellery box to store your pieces when you’re not wearing them and if you have any particularly special pieces it might be best to get them cleaned by a professional rather than trying to tackle the job yourself.

Your Signature Style Is Right Around The Corner 

Finding your signature style doesn’t have to be daunting, and by investing in the right jewellery pieces you can really simplify the process. Seek out high-quality jewellery pieces that complement the existing pieces in your wardrobe. Remember that finding your signature style isn’t something that will happen overnight, expect to do a lot of experimenting and a lot of trial and error before you really nail your unique look.

Quality Over Quantity, Know What You Like, Start With The Classics, Don’t Be Afraid To Experiment, and Take Good Care Of Your Pieces.
