Men's Accessories Trends 2021
In 2021, men are branching out with their accessories like never before. Perhaps you've been wondering what men's accessories and jewelry styles are most fashionable this year. We compiled a list to help you gain inspiration for the accessories you wear. Let's explore men's accessories that are popular today and where to find high-quality men's jewelry.
Trends in History
You could hardly discuss today's men's accessories trends without remembering the past. Fashion is cyclical, and each year, new trends from past decades resurface. What may seem like the most notable new trend in jewelry is usually a modernized take on a style that was worn decades ago. Let's explore a few hot trends of the past and how they've influenced today's styles.
Pendant Necklaces
Pendants are a terrific way to make a statement with your jewelry. This accessory is by no means new to fashion. Rock icons such as Jimmy Hendrix began layering chunky pendants in the 60s and 70s. This style retired for a while, but it's managed to influence the necklaces that modern fashion icons wear today.
Chains
Chains have been a staple jewelry piece since the 1930s. Though men wore them differently then, this accessory evolved over time and eventually became a staple piece to wear as a necklace. In the 90s, people began to layer necklaces over turtlenecks, and chains returned as popular jewelry pieces.
Jesus Pieces
In the 90s, Hip Hop began to take off as a genre. This musical genre had its own subculture contained within itself. One piece of jewelry that became iconic through Hip Hop is the Jesus Piece. This piece was usually flashy and paired with other chains for a dramatic jewelry look. It's a style you can still incorporate into your look today for a touch of nostalgia.
Today's Men's Accessories Trends
Let's say you've been out of the jewelry game for a while. Perhaps you recently decided it's time to take control of your life, your confidence, and your appearance. You want to get back into wearing accessories that represent your essence, but you feel out of touch with today's styles. Let's cover a few recent trends men are wearing this year and explore ways to try these styles out for yourself.
Statement Rings
Are you looking to get more into jewelry? Maybe you've always played around with jewelry basics, but you've never defined your unique style. Adding a statement ring to your jewelry collection is an excellent way to start forming your look. You can wear one statement ring on its own or pair it with others for a compelling jewelry combo.
Layered Chains
This trend has cycled back around several times over the decades, and we're thrilled that it's come back. Layered chains are an essential piece of the modern man's street style. Whether you layer two slim chains or multiple bulky chains, the combination provides an element of personality to your typical apparel. You can start building your chain collection with pieces you enjoy and then play around with which pieces look best together.
Dangling Earrings
This trend was transported straight from the 80s. What used to be a trademark of George Michael's is now becoming a well-loved accessory trend for today's fashion-conscious man. This trend is also versatile, and you can try it out with multiple styles of clothing. Wear one statement earring alone, or you can opt for a pair if you prefer an extra-bold look.
Slim Gold Chains
Do you prefer more minimalist styles? You don't have to jump straight into bold, head-turning accessory trends if that's not who you are. You can represent your quiet, calm essence with a single slim gold chain. This trend is one we've seen up-and-coming stars wear repeatedly. It's a timeless piece of jewelry you can always add to elevate your look.
Chain Bracelets
In the same vein, simple chain bracelets are on the rise in 2021 as well. You don't have to go all out – a simple, high-quality rope chain will do more for your outfit than you know. This trend is accessible and easy to replicate. You can find a timeless chain bracelet you love and try this trend out on your next outing to see how it feels with the rest of your look.
