Thoughts on wearing a necklace (men)?

I've had an interest in wearing a necklace for some time now. I'm a 21 year old guy, I surf, pretty mellow, study engineering...basically a normal guy.

Just wondering what people here think of guys wearing a gold necklace?

I was thinking about getting something that doesn't hang low, is thin, and gold.

Thoughts? What do women think about these?

I would do it just for looks, because I think it would look pretty sweet, and you can keep it on ALL the time.
 
Definitley not a fan of the gold necklace. if really want to tho dont wear it with a white wife beater.😛 pretty much the definition of trash
 
I wear a thin white gold necklace with a "Chai" pendant that I designed myself. I wanted white gold to match my watch and platinum ring.

Look into white gold.

I'm not a fan of yellow gold, but it looks good with the right skin-tone.

I wear a tight gold chain around my neck everyday that my father made years ago, and that had belonged to my grandmother. It means a lot to me, and I think it looks good, however I have been told by several girls that they wish I would stop wearing it cause it doesn't look good on me. I'm not gonna stop wearing it, and I don't know the general consensus but hope that gives you some insight.
 
I wear a thin Thai baht necklace that was given to me as a gift from my dad. I've worn in for about 7 years and have never had any complaints about it. The necklace is older than I am and made of 22k and 24k gold.

Now if it wasn't given to me I probably wouldn't have bought one. Just so you know, what type of small necklace isn't really going to determine how people perceive you if you ask me. My necklace isn't even visible unless I have my shirt off.

I aslo tend to wear a long thing silver chain quit often. Unlike the gold one, it falls down to the top of my sternum. I normally wear them together, which again I think looks alright. I think the silver chain is less criticized as well. Do you also wear bracelets and rings? I wear both quite often and get compliments on those. A lot of it depends on your body type, skin tone, and the actual necklace....and your friend's tastes. 😛
 
yeah i'm going to go with a no on this one. cheeseball.

Only if you buy an oversized black suit with white, bold pinstripes that are spaced far apart to match the chain......and....uh......you run the mafia.
 
Gold chains just scream CHAV!!! 😱

I used to have a rope necklace (much more surferey - I know this is not a word) and doesn't make you look like a chav!

start growing out your hair and get a hemp necklace.

A hemp necklace is a great suggestion. Especially for the OP who says he is a mellow surfer.

Gold chains on men.... idk... I just don't like it for some reason. I always expect the open shirt and hairy chest to go along with it 😛
 
Get one of those dime-a-dozen Abercrombie necklaces that you pay like $40 for. If the ads are anything to go by, they're a hyooge hit with da Ladies.

I've tried wearing necklaces before - not the gold chains, that's just wrong - but the hemp style, the cord style, the pendent style, etc etc. In the end it just me feel uncomfortable and I kept trying to tuck down under my collar.

I kept thinking also of a line from that Bonnie Hunt movie where she goes "I hate men who wear jewellery!"

thank you for providing entertainment for me
 
I thought about getting a silver chain back in 2002ish, but after some thought its hella not my scene.
I rather like them "hippie necklaces" as they're called round here. Them wooden beaded things. Got a pinboard full of them even though I don't wear them much.

But gold? Nah. That just looks hella naff yo.

URGH… slang mismatch… processing… proce…*headsplodey*

Nevertheless, fo' shizzle, Bubba. First it's the chain, next it's the pinky ring and then before you know it, you're either wearing an Armani and putting out a hit on a guy or wearing polyester and trying to impress women with the expensive used car it's otherwise your job to sell.
