Necklace: How a women's accessory becomes a men's theme

Attention men, let's dangle now! In 2020, women will no longer be the only chains. Alexander Zverev and Jason Momoa show how it's done.

Fashion is no longer a question of gender. Man wears skirt and high heels, woman slips into a suit and tie. It is no longer surprising that the borders are blurred when it comes to jewelry. Alexander Zverev (23), Harry Styles (26) and Jason Momoa (40) come from very different industries, but have at least one thing in common: all three love necklaces.

Once upon a time they were golden, chunky and had a hint of proll. But the chains that adorn male necks in 2020 look different. Professional tennis player Alexander Zverev seems to swear by the flashing accessories on and off the court – and occasionally even bite on it. It does not matter whether it is a single, delicate silver chain or in the layering style several models on top of each other. Man wears it proudly.

Harry Styles relies on pearls, Jason Momoa on pink

Singer Harry Styles ventures into completely different realms. At the Brit Awards 2020, the "Sign of the Times" interpreter turned up in pleated pants, sweaters and cardigans. But that was not all. He combined a white pearl necklace. The whole thing may seem a bit old-fashioned, but worn confidently, a pearl necklace can also decorate a man's neck.

Jason Momoa (40) and jewelry – is that possible? This works out! The "Aquaman" actor was even more often seen with striking necklaces. At last year's Oscars, he walked along with his wife Lisa Bonet (52) in an old rose suit over the red carpet. The brightly colored skull on a fine gold chain around his neck was somewhat contrary. Another time he combined the matching chain with rose quartz stones into a shiny pink suit.

The jewel with your own Instagram account

Of course, such a chain is not for everyone. Nevertheless, the piece of jewelry even got its own Instagram account: "connellschain" is a tribute to Connell Waldron, played by Paul Mescal (24), the main character in the "Normal People" series. The "chain account has around 187,000 followers.
