Photo credit dresscode.pl In the corporate world, there are firms that restrict the use of flamboyant jewelry pieces for both men and women. Females has a wide array of options to choose from but for men, there is only a specific set acceptable to wear.
What to consider?
In buying jewelry, being minimalist is the key. If you are going to wear a single piece, it should be a simple silver watch with leather strap. A watch is the most functional item in the list of trinkets for men so if you are new to accessorizing, the silver watch would break the ice. When you start adding other chunks, make sure metal colors are matching. One tone a time – your silver watch should be paired with a belt with a silver buckle and a silver tie bar. Careful with using gold pieces as the lightness and darkness of gold varies in a wide spectrum. Ensure that you wear gold items that are not too dissimilar in tone. In terms of design, refrain from using jewels with very intricate details, remain plain and unfussy. Don’t let certain jewelry be the center of attention of your whole wardrobe. Also, be cautious with symbolic designs. Make certain that you know its meaning and accept that people may judge you with it. A dog-tag necklace may look good on a shirt but other people think using such faux item is disrespectful to the military service.

1. Watch – Basic of all basics. This is an item you should never leave your home without. Even though you have your mobile phone to check the time, a watch is just an indispensible piece in a corporate wardrobe. It symbolizes that you value punctuality and that you respect other people’s time and schedule. Subconsciously it is the item that is easily noticeable most especially in a conversation or presentation as people normally move their hands when explaining something. Silver piece is advisable for adaptability to clothing and other jewelry pieces.

2. Necklace – This is something to decorate your neckline but if you are already wearing a tie or bow tie, this is unnecessary. Otherwise, when in casuals, a safe choice is a lace made with small metal beads, a metal chain or a thin silver necklace with a clear-cut pendant.

5. Rings – Do not wear a ring without meaning. The globally accepted one is the wedding ring. You may add another one like a fraternal or class ring but wear them with caution.

7. Bracelet – No to decorative bracelets. A simple chain or a thin bangle made of silver or steel cable wire is preferred. Wear it onto your wrist opposite to where your watch is.
