Just as bags, scarves and other accessories are no longer the sole preserve of the ladies, and cosmetics are starting to become more accessible to men, men’s jewellery is no different and several trends which began to emerge at the beginning of the summer season are setting in.

Indeed, more than ever this season, the street is inspiring fashion and vice versa, undeniably so; just like in the collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Pharrell, the street is becoming gentrified and is taking to flirting with glamour, a sort of bling bling chic is starting to show its face.

And Hoon Paris, created in 2005 by Adrien Haddad, has understood the phenomenon well; it specialises in top-of-the-range streetwear and has already been selling luxury pendants and rings for three years, with just the right ghetto twist: stylish and virile, and whether in gold or silver, it all works rather well!

The only problem is the price: you need to spend at least €300 to have the privilege of wear the aforementioned pendants or rings, so they’re only for those who haven’t yet been hit by the credit crunch…but we can all dream! (Adrien, should you happen to read these words…)

Of all the sunglasses we’ve looked at, here’s one of the most exclusive pairs. There are only 1500 pairs available across the globe. Its name: the Cazal 902. Originally created in 1982 by Cazal Eyewear, this style was one of the brand’s best-sellers in the 80s. They stopped making it in 1996.

Its rebirth is the fruit of a chance meeting, last year, in Paris, between the Dita Eyewear team, and Mr. Cari Zalloni, designer and creator of Cazal. The resulting discussion would bring about the relaunch of the Cazal 902.

The style, almost identical to the original, is also produced in Germany by Cazal. Dita has however brought its touch to the design. The Cazal 902 is available in 4 colours: black, gold, red and yellow with exclusive packaging for each of them.

500 of the black and gold styles are available, while the red and yellow are limited to 250 pairs. Limited distribution which is reflected in a price that is just as exclusive: $750/pair. Available from EYESPleasure for €548 (More info on the Cazal x Dita site)

Here’s a slightly more fun model, Five & Sex from Mi Zeppe. It’s made of leather and is studded with brass stars. The inner lining is made of turquoise and yellow cotton!

This is a little nod to MensSana who thought that the leather bracelet wasn’t expensive enough ;) Here’s a very beautiful ring, in yellow or white gold, set with a 9.3-carat black spinel (a gemstone used in jewellery). The rings in the XL Collection are individually made in the Sigomonta, workshops, in Budapest. Outstanding, aren’t they?

Is it time to break out the Ray Ban Aviators? This cult style, designed in 1936 for the American army’s fighter pilots, and immortalised on the silver screen by Tom Cruise at his young, good looking and arrogant best in Top Gun, Aviators are really top-drawer stuff. The frames are available in gold or silver, the lenses are mirrored with Ray-Ban engraved on the side. It’s all a bit showy, but it’s soooo eighties
