Late to the Party: Guys Wearing Pearls

I live in a college town and noticed (what I assume) straight guys wearing pearls. I Googled and sure enough, it's a thing. I had zero idea that this was a trend. I will assume that I am way behind and that this has been going on forever.

I don't have an issue with it, but I just hadn't heard about it.

Here in NYC I’ve occasionally seen young guys wearing pearls for the last year or so. What’s amusing is I almost never see women of any age wearing pearls.

Yet another reason to laugh at the Olivia-left-Jason-for-Harry in-ing stories.

And yet caftanphobia is still tragically rampant among young straight males.

Why accessorize so unthoughtfully? Looks tacky and just attention-seeking. Same as when guys paint nails just to paint them. And it's always some hideous blue black color.

The asshole in OP’s pic and James Corden have the same wide pig nose.

Must be an English lower class thing.

Sad!

We've had so many of these "gosh, have you heard of this? pearls for guys??" threads that I sometimes wonder if it's ye olde rightwing pedo guy, back on DL and desperate for attention.

For at least 2 years. It's either Gen Z's more fluid vibe or the puka shell necklace of today.

I have puka shells too!

No worries here... Who says pearls are for girls? I'd rather see a guy in pearls than sweat beads...

Hawaiian men wear pearls so I don’t see the aversion to seeing men in pearls as long as it’s tasteful.

Nicholas Hoult rocked that pearl necklace in The Great, so I think he started this trend.

Harry styles is the epitome of masculinity, so, if he wears pearls, it must be fine.

I want that Lanvin cardigan he's wearing. In adult size obvi.

The aptly named Joc Pederson (former Dodger now a SF Giant) has worn pearls with his uniform for years. When he was an Atlanta Brave and they won the World Series, they sent his pearls to the Hall of Fame and incorporated a pearl into their Rings. It's fun, it's endearing and I've never heard a snide word from fans about it. People need to unclench (or in this case unclutch?).

Like many trends these days (the "undercut" hairstyle) it's largely confined to two sub-groups - hetero working class club boys and fashion-conscious urban gays.

by Anonymousreply 29October 24, 2022 2:48 PM

This trend is ri-DORK-ulous.

Cant blame how this hideous tattoo-addict Harry creature riding the gender-fluid nonsense straight to the bank.

He looks ridiculous in that picture because he is trying to look like an old English lady.

Men can wear pearls and look good. Tahitian pearls in round or baroque would look great especially on men with tanned skin tone.

Also longer strands, men have thick necks and a long strand would look best.

What's the age limit for fellas too old to participate in the "look at my pearls" fad? Many of us guys have lost our mothers later in life and are stuck with her string of pearls. I'm also ready for a tiara fad.

by Anonymousreply 36October 29, 2022 2:58 AM

Why did mother have tiaras? Was she a minor Italian countess?

R39, R34 is Paris Brosnan, son of Pierce. That's a really good pic. He's cute but not devastatingly so.

The son of one of my friends is an 18 year old senior in high school. He's handsome and sexy all rolled into one (though can't socialize too well). He wears pearls all the time - as do some of his friends. He also wears a lot of hot pink - shirts, shorts, socks, jackets, bathrobe. He wears it well (he has Italain / Mediterrranean coloring).

He doesn't have any girlfriends or even female friends, and hangs around handsome muscle boys like himself, who all dress similarly. I (and a few others) believe he's definitely gay - only problem is he hasn't come out to anyone (not even his mother - my friend). His choice of wardrobe and pearls has come up in conversation a few times and his mother is quick to say 'he's not gay' before anyone comments. So we all shut up and smile at her.

I don’t mind wearing pearls it’s just that they get cold so fast. I have to wipe them off after 30 seconds.

by Anonymousreply 43November 2, 2022 9:26 PM

When did the unwashed oily looking Harry Styles become some sort of fashion icon? He's revolting.

I don't care how big his cock is, he's ugly and always looks in dire need of a very long shower.
