It's another week of middle aged men's wear part 11, but it's not just for the middle aged men, it's also for the younger guys. My name's Ellen. I do trend forecasting and styling. We've all seen it in the last like fifteen years come back into fashion, but it's the signet ring. It's on the pinky because it's practical and it was originally pressed into wax seals and halves your family crest on it. We've seen a lot of celebrities and public figures wear their signet ring. I do think that this is something that middle aged men do best though. And obviously, one on your pinky is not confusing as to a wedding band. In the 2000, it was brought back by Tom Ford for Gucci. Where we've also seen, like, now more modern ones where they just don't have a face on them. It's one piece of jewelry middle aged men have, like, been wearing for decades. And even if you don't have a family crest, you can definitely get one. You could even better, like, a fake crest if you want or even, like, your initials or something that means something to you.
