jewellery 01
i’m a strong believer in less is more for jewellery on men.
the best accessory is really a good watch.
some guys pull off earstuds (notice. STUDS. not rings.)
some guys pull off bracelets.
a special necklace with religious significance can be kinda cool as well. that or subtle dogtags.
my cousin is actually one of the most accessorized individuals i know. he has a tongue stud, many ear studs and a lip ring. and he carries them all of perfectly. a lot of it is about style and personality as well.
what do your accessories say about you?
unfortunately, a lot of guys try too hard. look at any one of the guys in the early seasons of The Hills (i have succumbed to watching). wayyy too gangsta. it becomes pretentious. it’s really obvious when you clearly don’t believe in what you wear.
but this entry isn’t really about the jewellery items i love. rather. just a particular item that has caught some minor attention in the fashion world.
the spongebob collection by Russell Simmons x Nickelodeon x Viacom is really interesting. back when russell simmons and kimora lee were still together, they made these blinged out hellokitty accessories for girls and women and that was relatively successful. i doubt the success of this spongebob line will be particularly mind-blowing, but still
i love spongebob. and there is some class to this collection. some.
but, as karl lagerfeld recently said, bling is dead. and he really is right.
i am conflicted.
