The Casual Look

A typical casual summer outfit often includes a T-shirt, jeans, or bermuda shorts (especially in the Israeli heat), paired with light sneakers. You don’t want to overburden this look with too many accessories, but you still want to accessorize appropriately. Consider wearing a necklace with a Star of David adorned with white and black diamonds, or a golden Star of David for a distinctive yet effortless look. Another summer-appropriate outfit is a floral shirt with shorts, leather sandals, and a thin gold necklace—a relaxed, everyday style.

Helpful Tip:

In summer, particularly with a casual look, less is more. Wear no more than one or two pieces of jewelry to avoid overloading yourself in the hot season. A bracelet made from natural materials, such as a silk thread braided bracelet, can be an excellent choice.

The Sporty Elegant Look

This look combines an elegant style—a jacket and button-down shirt—with a more relaxed style often featuring jeans and stylish sports shoes or sneakers. For this outfit, you can add more than just a gold necklace. Consider a unique signet ring, a delicate bracelet, or even earrings. It’s important to understand what style of jewelry resonates with you more—yellow gold or white gold. The range of jewelry you can wear is vast, but remember not to overdo it and maintain good taste at all times. Another suitable outfit for this style is a polo shirt with jeans, sneakers, and a silk thread bracelet—a perfect sporty elegant look suitable for both day and night events.

Helpful Tip:

For this sporty look, you can definitely match delicate jewelry to complement the hot look. If you decide to wear several pieces, opt for thin ones—a thin necklace or bracelet that completes the look.

The Elegant Look

The elegant look requires a button-down shirt, a jacket, and tailored trousers paired with elegant shoes that leave no doubt about your style. This outfit demands more sophisticated jewelry, like a luxury watch, a gold bracelet with a gold plate, or perhaps a diamond bracelet that showcases your strength. You can add a gold ring, too. Today, you can find rings for men in white or yellow gold in various designs and styles, such as a Star of David ring, rings with unique laser cuts, hammered gold rings, or a simple signet ring combined with a black onyx stone or diamonds. Either way, the look you aim for is all about chic, luxury, and class. Another suitable outfit for this style is a button-down shirt with shorts, loafers, and a signet ring—a relaxed yet elegant look, perfect for a date or a more special event where you want to make an impression without overdoing it.

Helpful Tip:

Although the elegant look allows for more flexibility with jewelry, especially luxury pieces for an evening event in cool air conditioning, it’s still advisable not to go overboard and to maintain a clean and elegant line that complements your clothes.
