From the infamous Paul Mescal chain to Harry Styles’ pearls, men’s bling is everywhere. So how does a newbie get in on the act? Plus the pieces to wear right now

Something’s caught my eye recently – men around town are wearing lots of jewellery. TikTok and Instagram are full of it. Love Island Lotharios in pearls! Timothée Chalamet in a Cartier candy-inspired necklace! Good lord, Jacob Elordi’s thermometer-busting eyebrow piercing in Saltburn.

All roads lead back to Harry Styles, with his rock star rings and grandmother trinkets. As well as former Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele, who set fashion’s mood music for years while wearing multiple rings. More recently, Harry from The Traitors, with his dangling crosses, has been having a word in all our ears. You wouldn’t know we’re in a recession, from the gold and ice in these streets. But can any man jump on the trend – and should they?
