3x3: How to wear jewelry without looking ridiculous

Hey Reader,

I’m finalizing my latest YouTube video right now. It's all about how to wear jewelry as a guy over 35. I think you're gonna enjoy this one, even if you're "not a jewelry guy" (so stick with me!)

Jewelry's one of those things that can take your look to the next level, but if you're not really sure what you're doing, feels confusing—maybe even intimidating?—and so you just avoid it. Or you stick to the basics, like a wedding band and a watch... and that's it.

Over the past seven or eight years, I started experimenting more with wearing different kinds of jewelry, and I've learned a lot and gotten to a place where I feel good in my everyday rotation.

Naturally, I had to distill everything I've learned into a video so you have an easy shortcut to reference ;)

So if you've ever wondered, "Can I pull off that necklace?" or "Do I look like I'm trying too hard if I wear this pinky ring?" be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel so you don't miss the video—I broke it down into different difficulty levels (like a video game, kinda?) so it's super easy to follow.

For now, here are 3 quick recommendations to get you started:

1) An everyday watch: Vaer C3 Korean Field Watch​

Easy to read, durable, low profile, and solar powered (no batteries, 6 hours of sunlight = 6 months of power. Sweet!)

2) A classic chain necklace: Miansai 1.3mm Cuban Chain​

Clean and simple, goes with anything. This is the kind of chain you throw on and forget you’re even wearing it.

3) An easy-to-wear bracelet: Miansai Dima Pull Rope Bracelet​

Minimal, with just enough design detail to feel cool. It's easy to wear, low-maintenance, and works with whatever you’ve already got on.
