The right length for a men’s necklace depends on a number of factors including your personal preference, the chain type, and the overall look you're trying to achieve.
A men’s necklaces’ length can accentuate or minimise certain features—such as the length of the neck or the curve of the jaw—and highlight your unique sense of style.
The average length for a men’s chain necklace is around 50-60cm, though the ideal length will differ between individuals. How it will sit on your neck and what you plan to wear with it will also impact the right length of a necklace. Chains around 50-60cm will either rest on the collarbone or in the middle of your chest, and look stylish worn on top of the shirt, or tucked inside.
A larger drop of 55-63cm is ideal if you’re pairing your necklace with a pendant. These medium-length necklaces go with just about anything, and can be a safe purchase for those who don’t wear a lot of jewellery or are buying a necklace for the first time.
