Pearls aren’t a new accessory by any means. But historically, they haven’t been a go-to option in men's wardrobes. Honestly, some of you may immediately think of your grandmother’s jewelry box when you think about pearls. But that has all changed.
Pharrell adorned tracksuits with pearls as part of his debut collection as creative director of Louis Vuitton Menswear, and they have already been shown off on the red carpet by Lil Uzi Vert. ASAP Rocky just rocked the stage at Rolling Loud Miami with a head full of pearl berets. And who could forget Tyler, the Creator’s pearl “Fleur” belt buckle by Alex Moss? If some of the most stylish individuals in hip-hop are co-signing the pearl trend, maybe it’s worth giving it a chance. Plus, who doesn’t love a good piece of jewelry?
If you’re looking to add some pearls into your wardrobe next, we’ve got you covered. Check out some of our favorite pearl clothing and accessories below.
