Best chain necklace for men

Nowadays, it’s trendy for men to wear jewelry around their neck for a little understate self-expression. Silver is an effortless, comfortable and classic option when it comes to men’s necklaces and should be considered your safe space.

The thickness of the chain will determine just how much of a statement your new accessory will make. If you’re going for a simple design without a pendant, a thickness of around 2 – 6mm and a length between 18 and 22 inches (finishing just below the collar bone) works well for most men.

If you’re only wearing a chain (and aren’t looking for a statement-making necklace), a width of 2-6 mm is a good start.

Clean your chain necklace with a soft microfiber cloth that you soak in warm water. Rub it gently until you remove all the dirt and let it dry off. To prevent your necklace from getting tangled inside the jewelry box, store it on a necklace tree. Keep your chic necklace away from water and don’t let it near harsh chemicals like perfumes and body lotions.

Always play by the ‘last on, first off’ rule. When you’re not wearing the chains, the biggest thing to remember is to avoid washing in them, or indeed swimming, and the sunlight.
