What does MFA think about necklaces?

I'd only sport it when I go out, so not an everyday thing. Even then, I'd keep it tucked under my shirt. I was thinking something along these lines.

Criticism welcome!

Men's jewelry is a very polarizing subject. Some men love to accessorize (I'm looking at you blogger/tumblr/streetwear/menswear) and others find that it's unnecessarily flashy. I would bet MFA is somewhere in between.

Basic guide in order: Always appropriate to Kill-it-with-fire:

Watches>Bracelets>Rings>Necklaces>Earrings>Anklets>Toe Rings

Point well taken. Ive decided against getting a necklace.

Only if it has sentimental value. A Tiffany necklace for a man? No.

Putting it that way kind of opened my eyes. Thanks.

I wear a necklace, but I wear it under my clothing so it's not visible. I just find it comforting when it's on oddly enough.

Usually they seem to be looked down upon here. They're synonymous with low fashion street wear. I would say to steer clear of them. They really don't add anything to an outfit.

I would never wear a necklace like that, but I have worn an Italian horn since I was young. Most of my extended family has them and it's not really for show in any way. As a male, I don't find it fashionable to accessorize besides a watch--but I'm in a professional environment most of the time and probably couldn't get away with anything else anyway.

My white gold "chain link" style necklace (something similar) from Belden Jewelers never comes off. I've been wearing it for about 7 years (since I was 18).
Something like what you have linked tends to be more feminine or gangsta. I wouldn't recommend getting something that dangles.

Seems douchey IMO, but YMMV.
