If there were a roadmap to men’s jewelry, a gold chain is almost always the starting point. One of the best gold chains for men is the accessory that most any man can (and should!) pull off. Us editors at Vogue are here to make the case. It’s all about picking the right style.

The chain itself is important here. Men’s gold chain necklaces, in particular, are the piece in totality; there’s no pendant to detract if the chain isn’t quite perfect. Curb, Cuban, mariner, cable, paperclip; they’re all different in weight, thickness, length, and vibe. They’re all individually purposeful. 

It’s not just Paul Mescal’s gold chain we’re talking about either (although if you needed a reason to start obsessing, we suppose that’s one), there are those around the necks of Brad Pitt, Bad Bunny, Timothée Chalamet, Charles Melton, Lakeith Stanfield, and on and on. The A-listers love a gold chain necklace for good reason: it adds a layer to any look. It’s instantly interesting and it doesn’t have to be heavy—it’s really better if it’s not.

So, whether you’re starting your jewelry journey here, or building on a steady stream of conscious stylistic decisions, we encourage the following gold chain necklaces for everyone, and especially all men. Below, 13 of the best gold chains for men to consider.
