It’s no secret that behind every great man is an even better woman, so it shouldn’t come as a complete shock that behind every well-dressed man is typically an even better-dressed woman.
The viral TikTok trend coined, “The Girlfriend Effect,” is just one example of this self-fulfilling prophecy; one highlighting the phenomenon that a man often becomes significantly more stylish after getting a girlfriend—a female presence who subtly nudges him towards an upgraded sense of style.
But why stop with just your significant other? Why not help every man in your life achieve an elevated dress sense? From your dad to your grandfather, to your brothers, cousins, uncles, and close friends, consider using men’s jewelry as the vehicle to coax them all in the right direction. Just think of how much better life would be if every man in your life was iced out, dripping in jewels!
Vogue’s Guide to the Best Men’s Jewelry Gifts:
While some men don’t need any help in the style department—they already understand the appeal of added bling and accessorize accordingly (lucky you!)—others may be more skeptical about adorning themselves with anything extra and don’t consider themselves big jewelry guys. If the man in your life falls into the latter, consider reminding him of his favorite celebrities. Whether they’re actors, athletes, artists, or just all-around studs, they’re often decked out in jewelry for red carpet appearances, magazine features, and even everyday life.
Not only does Bad Bunny love a necklace stack, but Jack Harlow donned a brooch (and earrings!) to this year’s Met Gala—as did Jamie Dornan, Barry Keoghan, and Will Welch — while Formula One’s Lewis Hamilton paired his all-black Burberry ensemble with jaw-dropping earrings, rings, and bracelets. Then there are the watch lovers of the world: Tom Brady, who wore a chunky, silver-toned timepiece to his Netflix roast; Scottie Scheffler, who sported a rather unique green Rolex to his second Master’s Green Jacket Ceremony, and Milwaukee Bucks star, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who recently co-designed a limited-edition collection of watches with Breitling. And of course, in a class all of his own, is A$AP Rocky. Ever the style icon, he’s rarely spotted without some enviable ice.
