Surely full sleeve tattoos, Audis on Pcp plans and beards for the faint of jawline are the go to show of wealth for the modern man about town.

I had a witness in court with an enormous cheek tunnel: I couldn't keep from looking at the side of his face. You could see his teeth.
Fantastic witness though: only 20 and spot on, reliable, good character, a credit to every adult who has ever influenced him. A real pivot.

Depends on the person. Good watch (all metal, leather straps are incredibly tacky to my mind) and a wedding ring in general, no gemstones or anything, nice and subtle. I know many men who wear other rings (signet rings, thumb rings, one chap I know wears his mum's wedding ring on his little finger), some who wear chains, a couple with earrings, a few with bracelets, it all depends on the man, his build, the jewellery itself, the amount worn, etc. but that goes for women too. A man wearing a nice watch, a couple of tasteful rings and a chain that suits his overall build (bigger the bloke, thicker the chain) will look better than a woman in tons of cheap, overdone jewellery that doesn't suit her.

I don't like it myself as i think it looks very chavvy, but each to their own...

I think jewellery on anyone can look tacky.

DH wears a watch and his wedding ring every day. He does sometimes wear his late DF's wedding ring which I think just looks too much. I don't like it - but obviously don't comment to him.

I wear little jewellery. Wedding and engagement rings daily - small earrings some days. If i want to wear a necklace then I leave off the earrings. I just think that less is more.

A ring on every finger and a bunch of gold chains just looks a bit rough. sorry.

This is quite a funny thread. Lots of people faux apologising for being utter snobs.

Jewellery is obvs a class marker, but ..mostly only in the UK.
