How Should Men Wear Rings? The Urban Gentleman Ring Guide A few Sundays ago, one of my best friends and I had a chance to catch up over breakfast at Venkmans Restaurant in Old Fourth Ward, Atlanta. We covered the usual stuff relationships, business, travel, our dogs, and life. As he talked I noticed the additional adornment he was swaggin a few rings. He was giving off low-key Lenny Kravtiz vibes. After telling me the story behind each one he asked how he should be wearing them wondering if a few of the rings were too feminine or not. I gave him a few tips, and he gifted me a ring with Turkish origins (thanks Julian).More than anything I appreciated his thoughtfulness in personalizing his style. It s been evolving over these past few years and I could see that jewelry was going to be apart of it. So I decided to create him a personalized Ring Style Guide. Because, hey what are friends for!I m going to keep the generosity flowing and share his custom guide with all youUrban Gents out there.TUG RING STYLE GUIDEIn general, less is more is the rule of thumb for most things in life, especially if those less items are of high quality. Great fit, good materials, and good colors that match one s skin tone and look will always be the main ingredients to good style. For jewelry it s the same different.Adding jewelry to your ensemble is another layer and creates a definite vibe. It helps tell your style story of who you modern, hipster, luxe, earthy, or even a combination.So How Should an Urban Gentleman Wear Rings? Here s 4 simple tips:1. Stick with thicker bands. It s generally more masculine.2. If you find yourself in love with a thin band rings, try to find 1-2 additional rings(at that same time),that you can stack with it. Try to coordinate their color as best as possible. 3. Wearing just one ring at a time will give you a more streamlined, well-groomed look.4. Be unique and personable with your choices in jewelry. What s your favorite color, stone, and or symbol.Just one ring will do, the pinky ring is classic.

That s fine, here s 4 tips on how to style them How to make a thin band, or more feminine looking ring, look more masculine:Stacking if you re going to wear rings with thin bands stack them. Meaning wear 2-3 rings on one finger. This gives the rings a more masculine look. Wider band rings look more masculine on men, so stacking gives a thin band ring the allusion of looking wider/thicker.Pinky another solution for thin-band rings is to wear it on your pinky. Pinky rings are unfortunately synonymous with secret societies and pimping. Though unfortunate (regarding pimping), it also makes a ring on a man s pinky finger the norm. So you can always give this a try.Thumb this is probably a more masculine finger to wear a single ring on than the pinky. The pinky has lost some of its luster due to secret society conspiracy theories and rejection of patriarchy. So the thumb is a great solution for a thin-band ring.One less is more. Wearing just one ring, that matches with your clothing that day, is another great alternative.Zayn Malik wearing three ringsAt the end of the day, you have to do what the mood calls you to do. If you re hitting up a music festival, going to a fashion event, or just feel like switching it up multiple rings will do just fine and could be fun to experiment with. The general rule for style (and life in general) is to keep it simple so when in doubt, just wear one ring.For most of you, your only and most important ring will probably the ring you ll receive from your woman once married/partnered. Making it the classic and stylish of all. Versatile Casual Style: Armani Exchange x The Urban Gent Urban Gentleman Taariq TutArmani Exchange aka A|X the brand first came onto my radar as a young teenager in the early 2000s when I walked the marbled hallways of Phipps Plaza (a luxury mall in Atlanta) one day. With it s chandeliers, dogs in strollers, mahogany walls, and indoor exotic cars (Bentleys, Astons, and Lotus s) I figured any store in this mall had to be great in its own way. But overtime I came to view A|X as just a line of logo t-shirts . so I didn t really care for it and stopped noticing their clothes.When Mainline Menswear presented their new Armani Exchange collection to us last month, I was pleasantly surprised. While A|X certainly still has its fair share of logoed tees, they also have some great polos, shorts, and sweaters (aka jumpers). The shorts are especially nice the length is perfect and I sorta view them as luxury loungewear. Instead of the usual Nike or Champion branded shorts you might find yourself sporting for that Saturday pick up game of basketball, you could easily wear these. They re comfortable and have a luxurious enough sheen to be dressed up if needed. Just add a polo, some nice sneakers, and you d be ready to go to brunch. Don t forget to refresh the shorts though gotta stay fresh (the Febreeze unstoppable collection is the truth btw).Shop the Armani Exchange collection here.Easily go from a light workout at the gym to lunch with your girlfriend in these.All Navy: Knitted Crew Neck Jumper; Short Sleeved Pique Polo T Shirt; Track ShortsI first metAndre 3000a couple years ago when I was surveying shoes for an upcoming photoshoot. It was July 2015 atWalters Shoe StoreinDowntown Atlanta,I had just returned fromNew York s Inaugural Men s Fashion Week.In my calmexcitementI found myself motioning him to come over to where my assistant and I were standing. He smiled, said what s up and asked my opinion on a couple pairs of shoes he was considering. I chillfully gave my input and continuedmy shopping until he and I naturally settled in the same spot again. This time we unexpectedlytalked for nearly an hour.I told him about my recent adventures at New York Fashion Week and at the Trade Shows that followed, he kindly inquired about my experience. We discussedGreg Lauren,Kanye West, my dog, and of courseBenjamin Bixby. I expressed my sincere interest in working with him, and how I loved his debut fashion line. I knew it s short life was merely a victim of the economy, but I also knew the state of menswear was great now (I had done the research) and his line would be a surefire success, if he wanted it to be. Andre gave a me a mini on the spot interview, asking about my education andThe Urban Gent. You went to Georgia Tech?! Smart and creative. Yea, my team will definitelylove you [if we relaunch Benjamin Bixby] we re gonna put you to work . He smiled, got my card, and well . I haven t heard from him yet about partnering on a new Bixby collection, lol but there s still hope right?! riiight??Once I discovered Andre 3000 Benjamin was named thenew Creative Director ofTretorn, an 1891 born Swedish shoe brand,I knew my dreams of beingCo-Creative DirectorofBenjamin Bixbyhad to be put on the shelf for just a little longer.Tretorn s Fall Winter campaign is finally here and features Andre in modern form. I must admit the styling is thoughtful, hummingof Motherland influences in each look patterns, hats, harem pants. I love the cleans lines, and nothing is out of place socks, cuffs, and single-buttoned up jackets.His signature jumpsuit in aMalian mudclothprint sets the tone for it all. Lucky for Tretorn,Andre has been a fan of the brand since he was a youngin, My first pair of Tretorns were in middle school, and since then the Nylite has always held a space in my closet. With this collaboration, I got to go into Tretorn s closet and play.
