Wearing rings on the pinky finger is one of the ways to make a statement and stand out from the crowd. A ring on the last finger of your hand does not interfere with other works and catches the attention of a lot of people.

How to Wear Rings For Men

Here is how you can wear rings

1. Be generous when it comes to men’s rings

More often than not, right-handed people ornament their left hand with accessories leaving their right hand empty. This look often ruins the look of your jewellery, failing to give you the desired results. 

Therefore, always be generous when it comes to your jewelry. Distribute them equally in either of your hands and see how marvelous your hands look. 

2. Size matters

You will certainly not continue to wear a T-shirt which you bought an eternity ago and does not fit you anymore. The same goes for the size of the ring. A ring smaller than the size of your fingers might not fit your finger and even if it does, thanks to your Herculean strength, the pain of the smaller ring would always make you self-conscious.

Moreover, if you buy a larger ring, you will have to constantly bring it down when it loosens which is very cumbersome. Otherwise, you would have to bid your adieus to your ring forever. You don’t want that, especially, when you surpassed your budget limits for that ring. 

3. Maintain Similarity

Any ring you choose to wear, whether it be gold, silver or platinum, maintains similarity. For instance, if you choose to wear a gold ring on one finger, make sure that all the fingers of the same hand and preferably, the fingers of your other hand should be gold. 

The main purpose of maintaining similarity between the two is to ensure cleanliness, style, and achieve a put-together look. Imagine what impression you would create if you wore one gold ring on the index finger, two silver rings on the next two adjacent fingers! Matching metals, be it your rings or your bracelet or both, is the best way to get a polished and chic look. 

4. Personalize your rings

Personalizing your jewelry is one of the best ways to wear and own it confidently. If you want to showcase your wild, risqué and cool side, you can wear a large silver statement ring. But if you want to showcase your calm, assertive and confident personality, opt for rings which enhance timeless designs. Look for the subtle structures and not something that is too tacky or over the top. By doing this, you are investing into some really good invaluable men’s rings, wishing that you could never take them off.

5. Confidently Commit

New things are always followed by some form of uncertainty and uncomfortableness. Wearing new rings will make you feel the same. However, being a man you might feel more self-conscious about wearing rings other than wedding bands. Nevertheless, continue wearing them confidently, because then only you can pull them off.  

Hence, it is perfectly alright for men to wear any kind of jewelry. However, out of all the ornaments men could wear, rings have been one of the most stylish statements, enhancing their personality, signifying their status, wealth, commitment and choice.
