Rings are some of the coolest accessories a man can wear. From classic rock idols, such as Jimi Hendrix and Ringo Starr, to today’s hottest up-and-coming heartthrobs, like Harry Styles and Timothée Chalamet, rings are donned by some of the world’s most stylish men.
So, if you want to step up your accessory game but don’t know where to start, rings are the perfect pieces for you. To help you with that, here are some great ring options for men and expert tips on how to style them like a pro.
What kind of ring should I get as a man?
Historically, men wore rings to signify their power, political affiliations, and even spiritual beliefs. Worn by Roman generals, Vikings, and medieval knights alike, these statement-making pieces have been adored for centuries.
More recently, however, men have been wearing rings purely to express their unique personal style - and it’s easy to see why. After all, our hands are always on display, so rings are the perfect accessories to make an eye-catching style statement. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular ring designs for men .
Signet rings
These rings truly are timeless staple pieces. Most signet rings feature some sort of personal symbols on them, such as a family crest or a university coat of arms. However, you could also choose not to personalize your signet ring, and wear it plain instead. Either way, these rings are a foolproof way to look super stylish.
Wide bands
From designs that feature Celtic carvings, unique inlays, and intricate patterns to plain and minimalist styles, wide bands are a great fashion statement that will never go out of style. Due to their oversized silhouette, these bands look particularly good on men with large hands or long fingers.
Narrow bands
For those who prefer a more discreet take on men’s rings, narrow bands are the perfect accessories. But don’t get fooled by their size - these rings don’t have to be plain or unadorned. Narrow bands also come in a variety of styles, such as hammered rings and chain bands, and are just as unique as their wider counterpart. Your options are endless.
How to get men's ring size?
It’s actually super easy to find the right ring size for you. To do so, wrap a piece of string or paper around the base of your finger. Then, take a pen and mark the point where the ends meet. After you’ve done that, place your paper strip or sting on top of a ruler to find out your ring size.
How to wear men's rings
The secret to styling your rings like a pro is to keep in mind that balance is key. If you’re only comfortable wearing one ring at a time, pair it with a nice watch or an elegant pair of cufflinks.
But, if you want to wear more than one ring at once, the best thing to do is to have both hands looking balanced. You can do that by wearing an oversized ring on your left hand and a couple of narrow bands on your right hand.
