    We dig the looks of this long, vertical pendant necklace to accentuate the fit of your favorite shirts. It’s made of oxidized sterling silver, and has vertical ribbing to further amplify the effect of lengthening your torso. It’s not as much of a stunner as brighter necklaces, but that makes it a great way to get conversations started with observant strangers.

    Dog tag necklaces are a cool idea that’s been beat into the ground. If you want to sport something similar without looking like every other dude, go for Florence London’s enamel initial tag.

Or heck, go for both — then you’ll have the right necklace to contrast whatever outfit you wear.
