Necklace as... neck tie?

[Grok]

Many moons ago, when I was growing up, men definitely did not wear ear rings, and certainly not purple ones. (At this point I would refer you to the purple thread). There seems to be several different ways for a maverick to indulge in self expression outside the cramped little box of traditional masculinity.

I may have spotted a trend-a tieless look, but with lapel pins. I got a hint recently while watching a documentary about the Lockheed skunkworks. I noticed the same thing while watching a YouTube video (will the Avro Arrow fly again?).

The future of mens jewelry may lie in providing an alternative to ties.

I like that skirt. Where did you find it?

I would say that necklace on bare skin can look splendid, if there is a lack of prominent chest hair. (My own chest is much too hairy). Other wise, wear a necklace over a shirt?

BTW, notice that some of the men have loosened their ties. Must have been a bit warm for the men, not so much for the ladies.

Same orchestra, with the men in full penguin mode.

Sorry, the link didn't work. They were playing Jurassic Park theme.

The other day...an aging man a few years older than me...dressed in the shabbier end of drabness.

Noticed that he was wear 5 metallic bracelets on one arm. He also seemed to be wearing a necklace of metallic links under his shirt. This jewelry wasn't very shiny, but it did seem to point towards individual expression.

Neck Chains for men were quite popular back when I was in college ( "70's" )
I had a few of them, myself
Alas, they've been lost in a couple of moves we've been through

I wear a necklace in one form or another most days now.
More occasionally that will be on top of an actual tie or a silk scarf and hey, why not?
"Rules" are made to be bent, broken or ignored, my choice.

During the days of the Jesus People movement, I wore a homemade wooden cross on a leather shoestring as a necklace. Not lately.

So, you are combining neck wear from both sides of the aisle? Interesting, the experiments that members come up with.
