How to Wear Cuban Chains
One of the most popular chains out there for men is the Cuban chain. This chain has stood the test of time being the go-to chain for several decades. Beginning its popularity in the early 70s, the Cuban chain was iconic in the hip-hop world, being featured by rappers in music videos and photos of them around town.
Since then, the Cuban chain has been worn by men with different styles all over the world. With its varying sizes, it’s easy to wear a Cuban chain by itself or layer it with other Cuban chains. You can also add a pendant to the Cuban chain or match the chain with another chain carrying the pendant.
It doesn’t matter if you prefer gold or silver because the Cuban chain comes in both styles. This chain can also be worn with a variety of different clothing options in order to amp up your wardrobe. Adding a Cuban chain to your style can help you pull off the complete look you have been looking for all along.
Wear It Solo
The nice thing about a Cuban chain is that it can be worn on its own. It doesn’t have to be paired with something to look good. If you are new to chains and you want to start with a more basic look, you can easily get a thinner Cuban chain that doesn’t draw too much attention but still looks sleek.
If you are looking for something that has a little more weight to it, you can get a thicker Cuban chain that stands out a bit more. The Cuban chain does the work itself so that you can easily wear it solo with a classic t-shirt or button-up shirt. And the best part about it?
The Cuban chain is water, heat, and sweat-resistant. As long as you buy higher quality, you can wear your Cuban chain every day without worrying about the color changing or it tarnishing. No more rotating your chains so that they don’t get worn. Look for Cuban chains made with 18k gold or premium 316L stainless steel for the silver chain. Buying a higher quality chain ensures longevity through all of your daily activities and your nightly ones too.
Wear It Layered
Another way to wear your Cuban chain is to wear it layered with more Cuban chains or even other chains that you like. They are basic enough where they don’t easily clash with other chains, but make enough of a statement to be noticed by the people around you.
If you have a thicker Cuban chain, try styling it with a pendant on a thinner chain. If you have a thinner cuban chain, try layering it with another medium Cuban chain and a pendant on a thinner chain. Or you can try layering your Cuban chain with a Wheat chain or a Rope chain to offer different textures to your layers.
There’s endless possibilities for wearing your Cuban chain with layers. There really aren’t any rules on how to layer your chains. It’s all about what you think looks best with your style. If you like variety, try multiple chain types. If you like simple, stick with just Cuban chains for layering.
What Clothes Do I Wear With a Cuban Chain?
Men often wonder what clothing they should wear with a Cuban chain. Because Cuban chains are so versatile, you can go basic with your look or you can go bold. If you want to go the more basic route, you can rock a Cuban chain with a one-colored-shirt and let the chain speak for itself.
If you want to dress up your look some, you can add a bomber jacket or a button-down over the tee if you are going out with friends on a Saturday night. If you are wearing a t-shirt, you can wear a shorter cuban chain and it will still be very noticeable.
You can also wear a cuban chain with a sweater, a sweatshirt, or a turtleneck. If you are wearing a hooded sweatshirt or turtleneck, a longer chain might be considered beneficial. This helps elongate the torso and instead of keeping all the bulkiness around the neck area. It also gives your chain the space to be noticed and not hidden by your clothing.
If you want to add more to your Cuban chain, you can also wear a Cuban bracelet that matches. This gives a more complete look in your overall outfit. It also levels up your style and draws more attention to your Cuban chain.
Rock a Cuban Chain
Although there are many ways to rock the Cuban chain, you can pick what works best for you. Cuban chains are easy to bring into your wardrobe without clashing with other chains or your clothing. You can rock it solo or you can layer it with multiple chains and pendants. You can even wear it with your white tee, or you can dress it up with a jacket or a button-down. You can’t go wrong with the classic Cuban chain.
