Men’s rings are one of the coolest accessories a man can wear. There are so many different designs and materials that the options may seem endless - and it may feel a bit overwhelming to wear men’s rings and keep it stylish. This blog post will help you navigate through the basics of this type of jewelry so you can easily achieve that.
What does it mean for men to wear rings today?
It takes being bold for a man to wear a ring. Rings are worn on our fingers and are constantly exposed on our hands, which we constantly use not only in all kinds of social interactions, but also while being on our phones all day. So, contrary to a necklace, which may be tucked into your shirt, rings are noticed most of the time.
Not only that, but rings also have a historical significance that dates back to many years ago. They have been tokens of power, affiliation, and even love for centuries. So these jewelry pieces are symbols of officially belonging to either a community, a cause, or even someone, when it comes to a loved one.
All these factors need to be taken into consideration before you decide to wear your ring. This should also help you decide on which finger to wear it. Of course none of these rules are meant to be set in stone; on the contrary, they should serve to guide you so you can take an inspired action in terms of how to choose to wear your rings.
How to wear men’s fashion rings and match them to your outfit
If you happen to love accessories already, just remember to keep the balance between the rings and the remaining accessories you'll be wearing. That includes any bracelets, necklaces, belts and watches. Also, if one of your wrists is full of bracelets, it would be best to wear a ring on your bare hand to aim for symmetry.
You can wear rings on any hand you’d like, just remember that if you wear one on the left ring finger, some may think you’re married, since this is the finger on which married couples wear their wedding bands. That being said, where you’d like to wear your men’s rings is completely up to you.
How to choose men’s rings
As an overall rule of thumb, to increase your chances of smoothly combining your ring with the rest of your outfit, avoid shiny materials that will draw more attention to the ring than it should do so in the first place, as not to risk overwhelming your look.
Remember, rings should complement your look, not overtake it. As for which material to choose, you can always start off with neutral and dark metal colors such as onyx, stainless steel or titanium, in their different variations. That way, you’ll increase the chances of matching your rings to your clothes and any other accessories you may want to combine with them.
Also take into account the occasion you’re planning to wear your ring for. Is it for work? Who are you meeting? What image would you like to convey to others by wearing a ring on that occasion? The answers to these questions should point in the direction of what kind of ring you’ll want to wear.
Over time, you’ll gain more confidence in wearing your men’s rings, and will be able to be daring while still keeping your confidence up and will make no mistakes in terms of all the possible combinations you can achieve. Then, over time, you can opt for other more bold materials such as yellow gold or even rose gold, fearlessly.
