Chain male! 6 hot new men’s jewellery trends
Men’s jewellery is having a moment – here’s how to accessorise the man in your life with style (clue: look to American Gigolo’s Jon Bernthal for inspo)
Layered chains
Step aside Connell’s Chain – the silverwear that went viral thanks to Normal People’s Paul Mescal – there’s a new hottie in town. As the long-awaited, all-new American Gigolo lands on Paramount+, prepare to be dazzled by Jon Bernthal as Julian Kaye. And of particular note in those shirtless scenes? His double-layered gold belcher chains, coming to a hot man near you soon. £185, Miansai at Mr Porter
pearlcore
Not just for your nanna (see Harry Styles and Timothée Chalamet’s October Vogue cover), men are clutching at them right, left and centre. From bangles – think rock star surfer, rather than gap year graduate -to necklaces, mix up the traditional white pearls with colourful or black beads for extra style points. Plus, you can borrow them when he’s not looking.£148, Dower and Hall
Prince charming
Those jingle-jangle charm bracelets dripping with trinkets? Not just for five-year-olds. And this season, plastic is fantastic. You’ve seen the clips of Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ken, right? Consider them your A/W his ‘n hers moodboard. Go forth and embrace the rainbow colours, just make sure to take inspo from the catwalks of Loewe and Louis Vuitton rather than Hello Kitty. £119, Thomas Sabo
pin up guy
Badges, brooches and pins are the way forward to really pop a man’s collar this autumn/ winter. From logo-tastic offerings (Prada and Jil Sander do goodies) to retro skater boy smilies (wear three badges at a time, for maximum 90s college boy-vibes), or sleek and subtle gold or silver offerings. No more boring lapels! £58, Maria Black, Farfetch
Pinkies at the ready
Rings aren’t going anywhere and whether it’s a subtle signet or a chunky, bejewelled piece of hardware, get his fingers at the ready. Personally we’re all for the allure of the gold pinky ring, originally favoured by Frank Sinatra and Elvis back in the day, now seen on the delectable hands of Hollywood’s hottest leading men. If it works for Chris Pine… (it really works for Chris Pine). £70, Serge Demines
Medallion man
Forget everything you thought you knew about the coin necklace (no chest rugs here, thank you). We have Shawn Mendes and the catwalks of Gucci to thank for this triumphant return to form. Keep it simple with a gold coin or a delicate hammered disc hanging from a sleek chain. Paul Newman did it, Brad Pitt’s doing it. Get your man on it quick smart. £225, Alighieri
