5 accessories every man should own

Most men in Bangladesh own a watch and stop there. Five more pieces cover almost every situation, and none of them needs to be loud.

1. A curb chain

Worn under a shirt with the top button open, or over a T-shirt. 20 inches sits at the collarbone on most people. Flat links lie better than round ones.

2. A plain band

The easiest ring to wear. It goes with a panjabi on Eid and a hoodie in January.

3. A signet ring

Heavier and more deliberate. One signet on the little or index finger is enough; do not pair it with another large ring on the same hand.

4. A chain bracelet

On the wrist opposite your watch, or beside it if the watch is slim. It should move a little but not slide over your hand.

5. A pair of small hoops or studs

If your ears are pierced, small black or steel huggies are the most understated choice. Many wear just one.

The rule that ties them together: wear at most three at once, and keep them in the same colour of metal.
