More men should try jewelry, especially in casual outfits or summer looks. It’s easy to add a simple chain or ring to make a style statement. Some men feel uncomfortable with fashion, thinking only certain accessories like rings or watches fit their masculinity. Wearing jewelry can be a way to express style while respecting traditional masculine values.
i dont know if this is a hot take but more men should wear jewelry
jewelry can be tough to wear if you're normally in conservative clothing like traditional suits and sport coats. although, some men in the mid-20th century wore their suits with things like signet rings and WWII bracelets. can be very look-dependent
IMO, it's a lot easier to incorporate jewelry into a casual outfit. this can be esp nice in the summer when an outfit has less going on. can be something as simple as a thin 3mm gold franco or rope chain worn with a camp collar shirt and some shorts

bummed this person deleted bc i think this touches on something weird about men's style. lots of guys are uncomfortable with having an interest in fashion, so they seek outside reasons to "rationalize" something. wearing a school ring is OK; a decorative ring is not.
a suit is worn for respect. wearing a tie is simply something grown men do. you can wear a watch bc it tells time, but a bracelet is bad. in these ways, men can re-code fashion as being about masculine values, utility, and respect, rather than aesthetics. avoids gender anxiety
forgot to mention! i spoke with my friend @CBBarker about a month ago for a story he wrote regarding men and jewelry.
