How to Style a Gold Chain
A great place to start is considering what you want your chain to say about you and what style you want. It’s incredible how a simple piece of jewelry can speak volumes about your personality.
Ask Yourself: How striking do I want the chain to be?
- A lot of men aim for a stylish, subtle look, so wearing a classic gold chain that blends in with their attire would be a perfect choice. A classic, subtle look never goes out of style.
- However, there are also eye-catching types of gold chains that catch people’s attention and take center stage. These are often unique, and not everyone can pull them off.
- You can also opt to layer different chains for added texture & movement. The chains can be of different lengths and widths, and you get to choose the number of chains you want to wear for layering purposes. Ideally, you can layer 2 to 5 chains, but there are no rules, and you can set the trend.
It’s also important to consider the shape of your face when choosing a gold chain. The gold color matters as well and should match your other accessories such as a watch; for example, the fact that you’re going for a GOLD chain doesn’t necessarily mean that it should be yellow gold. You may get tempted to pick out a white gold or rose gold chain rather than the classic yellow. We believe that you should go with your gut.
What Chain Length to Choose?
Men’s Gold chains can vary a lot in length, from 19 to 40 inches or even longer (usually would require a custom order). Usually, most chain lengths chosen for men fall at the collar bone, which is generally around 20-24 inches in length. If your chain includes a medallion, cross, or dog tag, a slightly longer length is suggested. If you want a layered look, you can wear multiple chains of varying lengths, according to your style, tastes, and preferences.
If you are unsure about neck size and whether a particular necklace or chain is right for you or not, please contact us at ItsHot.com. We’ll be happy to discuss your buying choices for you.
The way different chain lengths are typically categorized is as follows:
20-inch chains – If your neck is 17 inches, a 19” or 20” chain might be a good length if you like shorter chains. 20” chains are quite common among men. This length falls between your shirt’s first and second buttons and the collarbone. At this length, you can wear the gold chains inside or outside your shirt.
22-inch Chains – The 22-inch chain is the other common chain length for men. At this length, you can wear the chain with a cross pendant, a dog tag, or any other preferred pendant. 22” Chains fall a few inches below the collarbone. And it’s often a great option for men looking for necklaces that they can wear outside the shirt.
24-inch Chains – 24-inch Chains fall in the middle of your sternum or a few inches above it, depending on your height. This chain length is ideal for pendants, including dog tags & crosses, among others, and it’s ideally worn outside your shirt.
30-inch Chains – 30-inch chains are considered long chains for men. 30-inch variations are worn outside the shirt, but you can wear a 30-inch chain, especially a thicker one without a pendant.
Over 30-inch Chains – 40-inch chains are typically the longest chain length for men, and these are mostly hip hop style chains, which are thicker, usually over 10mm wide.
What Chain Thickness to Choose?
Men’s gold chains vary in thickness even more than they do in length. You can find anything from 1mm wide gold necklaces for men, to 21mm wide heavy chains (the width of a US quarter), to outrageous 25mm such as 1.5 Kilo Miami Cuban Link Chain be custom made even greater width.
Generally, the width and length of a chain go hand in hand where a longer chain such as a 30-inch chain would also be wider such as 15mm in width (a 2mm wide chain would not look good in 30 inches but would look fine in 22 inches length).
However, the width is even more important than the length when it comes to subtlety and expression. Even if you decide to keep your chain underneath your shirt, it’ll still be noticeable and draw attention if it’s too wide.
Thick gold chains for men more than 12mm wide are typically intended to be eye-catching and impressive, while chains with a width of 1-6mm are more personal and often meant to be rarely seen. You can use the middle range of 6-10mm for either purpose, depending on their design.
Trend Alert for 2021
You may have noticed a trend for thicker chains in 2020. This year, it’s all about mixing in a thicker bold chain to your necklace layer. We know chain styles can become overwhelming, but you need to know what you’ve got so that you can layer without too much tangle!
