I remember when I was about 10 yrs old , I read a saying " A woman ( or man) without jewelry is a night without stars" I still have this saying in my head.

[@JollyOl]

Now it's in my head! Rent free, probably.

[@xenozethe]

If jewelry is like stars, then a watch is the moon. A night with only the moon has its own charm, does it not?

That's sexy lol Thank you.

That 1-1-2 rule is an amazing rule. Thanks man.

For sure! Glad you like it

[@Vaiorah]

Does the wedding ring already count as a ring?

[@AK_Gaming-960]

@@ParkerYorkSmithsometimes I do 2-2-1 instead but I never go anymore than that it’s a good number

[@Zane_0311]

This is a really good basic rule I follow often but sometimes it’s on to go a bit overboard like for me I usually wear 2 necklaces 1 bracelet 1 ring but I have on specific combo that looks really good with some outfits but it’s 3 necklaces 3 bracelets and 1 ring which sound like really much but 1. I wear really simple jewlery and 2 If you do it right it can look really good

[@camp-bepsi3926]

Genuinely, most of your fashion how to videos are beyond so helpful. I’m Autistic/have ADHD and have dressed primarily for comfort and Sensory Processing Disorder my entire life (this has meant I cannot wear more than a few types of fabric in essence). Branching out has been impossible until this past year. I didn’t know videos like this existed. You don’t shame for certain choices/styles/colours and encourage branching out and are educational on different styles and what to wear on different occasions. You speak slowly, clearly and your expressions are clear/easy to understand. You have no idea how helpful you are 💕

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Made my day!! Thank you

[@productunboxing6465]

I had been following you since you had 14k subscriber. And your views just used to be 1k with 4 or 5 comments. I used to wonder when will you cross 1 lakh subs because it was stuck under 50k subs for a very long time. I wanted to congratulate you after your completion of 1 lakh subs, for being patience and such a hardwork person. You have been Inspiring me from a very long time ago. Congratulations once again and happy to see your channel growingout so well now.

[@wonderhollow3240]

If you work out a lot you could wear stainless steel jewelry. The color is noticeably darker than silver but it is stronger, untarnishable and hypoallergenic. It is a lot cheaper than silver but it never turns black, as opposed to silver, and can be really shiny if it's well polished. You can shower, swim, sleep, exercise or do whatever with it and it will not lose its shape nor brake. Though not usually as custom nor artistic as silver, you will find awesome stainless steel pieces.

[@curlyhairdudeify]

316L steel

[@martin.allaman]

You are so right

[@iamaduckquack]

Plus stainless steel just sounds cool.

[@nananana-zj5zn]

this is so informative thank you so much

[@danielamaus]

Yes, steel also comes with several platings or eloxated that do not react with sweat, salt water or chlorine in pools. Titanium, which would be recommended for piercings, that are worn 24/7 anyways, is also a great option. For stretched ear piercings silicone is a really good and comfy option, as it is very flexible and skin friendly.

[@user-km6hw7jj8n]

I like this guy. He is calm, positive, down-to-earth, and his demeanor is very approachable…sort of comforting in a way. Good fashion tips too!

[@Densoro]

The 1-1-2 is giving Final Fantasy and I love that. I legit feel so confident when I look like a hero from a video game, especially if I can make it look natural.

[@Haitham_el10]

Imo the best accesory is a nice watch. A watch is what it elevates your style the most and gets the most compliments and also looks more mature based on my experience.

[@XexiPwnageGaming702]

The 1 1 2 rule is valid. From personal experience though you can wear ash much jewlrey as you want, as long as you balance it. 3 rings on one hand. Two on the other with a bracelet. I wore a lot of rings at one time.

[@R3tro_1ab]

Yea the most jewelry I wear are necklaces one bracelet a watch 3 rings on one hand and 2 on the other just depends on your style and that it looks good and not all over the place

[@DudeTotally1000]

Idk I've seen people make ten rings look good. You can do whatever you want.

[@ashofficial790]

​@@DudeTotally1000 yeah i think it depends on the outfit though, leather jacket, jeans and boots you can pretty much get away with any amount, but like 7 rings, 4 necklaces and 5 bracelets would look so stupid if your wearing a suit or chino shorts and loafers lol

[@33rdStreet]

@@ashofficial790if you’ve got a flashy baroque accented satin smoking jacket, black slacks and velvet loafers a few chains and diamond bracelets can be solid

[@justyxbx2041]

i love the 1-1-2 rule, but in some situations, depending on what pieces ur wearing, ur outfit etc, i find that 1-1-2 + a watch tends to work really well

[@hafizalasadohi9535]

One of the most underrated channels without any doubt. Thanks bro.

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Appreciate it!

[@amymandeville8342]

I mix all my metals lol. Gold, platinum, silver, different colors. I love variety in colors and textures. Jewelry is fun!

[@andy.gilbert3066]

I've never heard of the 1-1-2 Rule, but It makes total sense and its really creative. Thank you ❤️

[@frankdiscussion2069]

Speaking as a jewelry noob thanks for confirming it's ok to wear silver and gold at the same time. I usually wear a watch and one ring on my left hand and a bracelet and one ring on my right hand.

[@TheSupercuber]

I never wore jewelry when I was young but when I became a janitor I used to find rings and wear them. Years later I worked outdoors and found a nice bracelet and a chain. Eventually I bought pieces and I kinda followed the 112 instinctively but wasn't necessarily opposed to breaking the rule. Sometimes it feels natural to hide my necklace or skip altogether on rare occasions. My uncle wears rings on every finger but some people can pull off that look while others can't. I don't like rings on consecutive fingers so usually a cabochon ring and spoon ring on middle and pinky or two spoin rings. I like wood or stone rings too.

[@gnth9552]

I'm the guy on the thumbnail 😂 But that's thanks to the black shirt. I feel like that's really just too basic and therefore I accessorize more when I wear one. There are exceptions to that, e.g. when I wear cargo pants that already add more structure to an outfit. Commonly though, I stack up the bracelets (between 3 and 5) and wear 2 to 3 rings. Just to add detail as I never feel comfortable in something too simplistic.

[@FriarJoe66]

I’ve been leaning towards a more androgynous look these days, but the positive attitude and laid-back approach of this channel keeps bringing me back!

[@atraceofblue6085]

Love this video! A tip: a simple jewelry cleaning cloth helps to keep your (precious metal) jewelry pieces clean and shiny if you want to wear them daily.

[@mikefaulkner5600]

Thanks for this extremely useful rule AND mixing metals, never thought of doing this. Love your clothes and that sick shoe collection. How about an episode on your bag collection?

[@leeboriack8054]

Parker, appreciate your cleverly edited perspective on mens fashion. Please share where you got your great head of hair or how to look good w thin to no hair.

[@kyttynkross1121]

I love that you never condemn anyone for their style choices. I'm one of those types who loves to go "overboard" with jewelry. I'm really into more "maximalism" type fashion most of the time. Half because I love layers and eschewing traditional fashion expectations and half because I never really understand "proper" social fashion. But in exploring learning to masculinize my appearance in a more minimal but attractive way, I stumbled upon your channel. I love that you explain how and WHY something works. But also that you don't condemn other choices. You don't preach that your way is the only/right way. Just A way. And I love that. :D Thanks for the tips.

[@artoflife6093]

I love jewelry so i love seeing more men rock it

[@lazerusgnome]

I started wearing a ring after watching your shorts. Going to start looking at some other pieces as well now.

[@germainelo3369]

I enjoy the pacing of your videos. It feels fresh and that grin in the beginning is a bonus. Hope you are taking care of yourself.

[@obamacare2498]

1-1-2 rule is a good rule of thumb but can easily be broken well depending on the pieces of jewelry worn, for example you can wear more than 2 rings but the balance in size, material and generally non-symmetry can help to make it look good

[@NONE27-DC]

I love to use jewelry, the confidence boost is real, but after seeing this now I think I kind of exaggerated the use sometimes. That 1-1-2 rule sounds really good, I'll follow it from now on.

[@therockgodabides]

Solid stuff! I tend to go for a Johnny Depp/Keith Richards/Harry Styles vibe and slightly over accessorize. Loved the way you broke down each rule so well! If I had to add one tip, I would say focus on getting a really great high-quality piece/set of pieces you can afford, rather than a bunch of cheap stuff. You will be more likely to wear it more often and it will last you so much longer. Especially the wrist watch category!

[@jovanxin6762]

Can you make a video for a basic beginning wardrobe for someone with no clue about fashion/style?

[@nathanledee3140]

I generally stick to that rule of 112 but I’ll sometimes double stack my 5.5 mm 24inch rose gold rope and my 5.5 mm gold rope 23inch they stack perfect and have a crazy two tone look and I wear the matching braclets but I won’t wear a ring with it

[@UnholiestJedi]

Wondering if a wedding ring counts as part of your 1-1-2 rule?

[@AllAir_FernWillow]

First off, I had no idea you could have fashion hiccups with jewelry. Second, thank you for being such a dapper and darn well dressed gentleman.

[@rowantheo809]

I love all your advice!! As someone who works in scrubs all day, I just gave up but it's cool to reconsider the pieces that wouldn't hinder the job. Also, idk if you'll see this but I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE some outfit inspo for doctors that balances comfort and style (the BIGGEST challenge in my opinion, the BOSS of medical fashion, is footwear that is comfortable to wear for 24 hours of running around, while not being sinfully ugly. 😂)

[@versicherungsagent420]

I absolutely agree with you in all of your points, I think men should really embrace their jewelery because its absolut not "a woman thing" to wear those, however, I think it depends on the overall person wether you look great with gold or silver, also depending on the outfit. More brown = Gold looks probably better, Black = Both fit really well, but combining both of them just looks a bit messy to me and not well picked

[@karlmcclure9995]

yeah i defo broke these rules although im an alternative person i wear 6 rings 3 chains a watch and a bunch of bracelets

[@YourBoiKirby]

The 1-1-2 rule I think only applies if all your jewelry is larger you know? I think having two rings a necklace and then two bracelets still work's great as long as your 2nd bracelet is a bit more subtle and smaller then the other. Just to add that extra detail to the hand that dosent have any rings on it if your like me and like all your rings just on one hand

[@bill99208]

Love your stuff. It’s so cool to see a guy dipping into the fashion world. One thing I would like to see is a complete guide to the tuxedo. You could definitely do it with class.

[@diablo1271]

I love how you explain those basics :) Keep it up 👍

[@nikolastoner8226]

How do earrings factor in, in your opinion? I like to wear a lot of earrings but I think that shouldn't impact my rings/bracelets/necklaces. Interested to hear your thoughts

[@redscale82]

I’m stranded with a watch. Always a kiltpin on a kilt and a clancrest on my glengarry.

[@kofi8259]

where i grew up it was offensive for men to were jewellery.. so when thinking about jewellery it always tingles me a little. but I'm rocking with a ring.. i really want to have a neckless but it's hard to undo what you've learned basically your entire life. i will break free.. one day

[@lv2943]

Recently discovered your channel and as someone who dislikes the general male stereotype of your entire wardrobe being jeans, t-shirts, a navy suit and a blue button up, I've really enjoyed it. If you see the comment, I'd be curious what makes you dislike the 'one metal' rule for jewelry but subscribe to the 'one leather' rule for belts and shoes.

[@gigabard13]

Necklace + Watch. Goated Combo

[@KingEdwardtheTurbulentNeill26]

I just wear any jewellery that I want to wear at the same time for more of the pirate look, I wear sterling silver rings which on my right hand is mainly pirate skulls and on my left Nordic and Celtic themed jewellery with 2 9 kart gold rings that I stack with my signet ring and wear 2 sterling silver bracelets on each side, I wear 4 9 karat gold earrings and 3 necklaces with 3 different Viking pendants which some I've brought from Grimfrost

[@gracenguyen2013]

Confident, well dressed ftw! ❤

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Yes indeed

[@nikonugen5661]

I generally agree with this guy. I hope he does something on stones like an onyx bracelet as metal isn't the only form of jewelry that are so affordable and still looks classy. I like carved stone pendants like jade that can make a bold statement, which is a contrast to metal. I think there are so many options for men these days.

[@Louzahsol]

I’ve been wearing jewelry for ages. Most of it is jade or bone carvings that I made. Whether it’s a hei tiki, toki or a carved warthog tusk, I’m always wearing something

[@Musicfan1020]

Do watches count as part of the bracelet category? Is it a category on it's own? If I wear my wedding ring and watch on my left hand, can I wear a bracelet on the right hand? Would the 1-1-2 rule be one ring, one watch, two bracelets? Would it be one ring, one necklace, and two bracelets (the watch on one side, the bracelet on the other)? Could I do 1 watch, 1 necklace, and two rings (wedding on left side with watch and college ring on right hand)? Or would it work to balance the left with the right side (2 rings, 1 watch, 1 bracelet)? I love the rule, just trying up my jewelry game!

[@MrAubrey19]

That 1-1-2 rule include watches or are watches excluded since its usually always on

[@sodasghost]

2:06 kaizoku also love this video man, it really elevated and gave more sophistication to my style choices

[@zackfinchum]

Always loved wearing jewelry but I have really sensitive skin and I was super hype when you said there was a website with all sterling silver. Then I saw those prices, holy shit 💀

[@sofiabecerracalvino6220]

Let me tell you if you have sterling silver, I've been wearing my sterling pieces while working out for YEARS and they still look amazing! I swear sterling resists everything! The only chemical I've found makes it tarnish is Azufre (I dont feel like looking up the translation) so be careful with those soapes!

[@dimasakbar7668]

speaking about 1-1-2 rule, do we also count wristwatch and wedding band in that?

[@maxsokolow]

I also noticed that wearing a relatively massive ring on the same side you have your watch on makes it look weird (at least for me). I usually put a ring on the hand with bracelets and it seems more balanced.

[@5688gamble]

If you are working out or swimming, remove it. Not just that you might lose it or damage it. If it were to catch on something, you may injure or drown yourself.

[@malagargamer5598]

chain+4 rings(2 both hands). thats it, chain can be replaced by a pendant. simple, but good.

[@thattallredhead1]

How can you incorporate a watch into this rule? My husband LOVES bracelets and also wearing an Apple watch. Would the watch fall into the bracelet category taking up 1 of 2 bracelets?

[@bryanaguilar4020]

I definitely over do it with my jewelry but only because each one means alot to me and I don't see that as fashion statements but more as I'm carrying these people with me and then on top of that I wear bracelets or rings that go depending on my outfit. For instance the jewelry ill never take off are a gold necklace and gold ring I use as charm on the necklace I've had since I was a kid given to me by uncle and aunt, a silver bracelet from my mother since when i graduated hs. A 3 year anniversary bracelet (stainless steel) from my gf, another necklace (jade charm) from my late cousin and a silver ring that I bought for myself as a symbol for my country and family when I went to visit. And from there, I've added 3 more rings and 2 bracelets whose colors usually match with my outfit. Definitely too much, but meh my look is already iconic amongst my friends and family that they question me if a piece is missing If you're wondering how it may look, it goes some like this Neck: golden chain with a Jesus charm and gold ring with a sapphire main gem and 2 smaller clear gems (diamonds?) Another necklace with black string and jade charm (size: 1.5"×1") Left hand: 1 silver bracelet, 1 stainless steel bracelet, an unknown golden metal ring on my ring finger. Unknown silver metal on my pinky. Right hand: 2 beaded bracelets (colors depending on outfit), silver ring on my ring finger, and stainless steel ring on my pinky If you made it here, thank you for taking an interest in my odd fashion sense

[@ParkerYorkSmith]

Do you - that works!

[@sharkyanimates5006]

I also like wearing my silver with my gold accessories 😅

[@CiaoRooster]

How do you collect rings for your various finger sizes? Are there certain finger combinations that do or don’t work? (Do pinky rings make you a mob boss?) I don’t think you wear a wedding band. Does that change any of your ring calculus?

[@sidney2738]

Personally I am a twelve rings kind of person but I don’t wear it all everyday I just love people going wtf when they see me without embarrassing myself and this is I find the best way to

[@Mike22336]

I don't buy jewelry from LOUPIN, my jewelry collection comes from HELIOS GLOBAL. But I all made the mistakes you mentioned in the video. Thank you very much, useful video

[@dreamb5594]

I am thrilled to hear that you are also a fan of Helios Global! I myself own almost their entire Atlantic collection, and I couldn't be happier. Before discovering Helios, I used to purchase jewelry from Clocks and Colours. However, their products were too big for my taste, and I prefer jewelry that is smaller and more delicate. Helios Global is a much better fit for me, and their prices are much more affordable compared to Clocks and Colours.

[@yeonastro]

in the 1-1-2 rule, are watches included in the bracelet category or are they separate?

Quick question. Is one slim silver necklace one string with a black/ metally dark Gray pendant, one slim silver bracelet, two black/dark Gray rings (one simple and one patterned) on my left hand too much? Cause I know there is the 1-1-2 rule but I don't really want to get rid of the pendant or a ring cause honestly I feel like it's better how I'm currently wearing it

[@Cockygoblin]

Awesome video. I’m slowly branching out with my jewelry. Do you have any brand suggestions for getting started that might be a bit more budget friendly than Loupin? I do love there stuff from the website though.

[@yorgunsamuray]

I get extremely uncomfortable with jewelry. I can't even put on a watch. Whenever I do I desperately want to take it off the whole day. I also have a bit of an OCD for symmetry. So it's a hard pass for me. I just cannot.

How do you feel about watches being part of the 1-1-2 rule? Are they an exception or would they take the place of a bracelet?

[@Etidorhpa]

It's a great rule to follow, though I have sensory issues, so I generally just do two pieces over all, generally a bracelet/watch, or a tie pin, or rarely a necklace of some kind. Let me tell you, though. The things I heard from my eldest about what women have for rules on jewellry, wow. Like if earrings no neclkace, or if rings, no bracelet, or two earrings on one, one on the other, never four. man it's so confusing 0)0

[@jelle2410]

In the 1-1-2 rule, where would a watch fit in?

[@KinshinReaper]

I myself can't stand the feeling of wearing rings on just one hand, makes me feel imbalanced, something in me really draws me to wear mirroring rings. they don't have to be the same ring but similar size/weight/style (usually biker style) and on the same finger for each hand. Usually 2 rings per hand, If I'm wearing a watch I can wear 1 ring on that hand without feeling off but it depends on my mood lol and always a necklace, though I prefer heavier pendant style necklaces.

[@hannamariewilson]

[@robertocervera912]

I agree, and don’t agree, I like wearing 3 rings one one hand, and 1 ring on the other, plus a watch on one hand or one to 3 bracelets one the other hand, but not all at once.

[@betruly7894]

Me only wear 18k gold or minimum Silver 925. No "Fe" metal or gold silver coated. unless it is a watch. Yes I did discover the rules 1-1-2, it is the perfect balance. However be prepared in summer to attract attention, at work too. People will star at you longer than usual. When you wear a black Oxyn stone silver or white gold ring, it make stupid people think twice before engaging with you.

[@radbabs2000]

Silver in a pol can permanently damage it. Take it off.

[@MacStyran]

"Don't be that guy" - phew, I can confirm that I am NOT - in fact - that guy in the thumbnail.

[@p4ul1010]

Everyone is different and has different aesthetics and thats okay! For example, i disagree with your 1-1-2 rule by wearing always a necklace and 2 rings on each hand, sometimes 3-2 rings depending on how big the rings themselves are. If is one with a big stone is only one in the hand, but if is a simple one with nothing on it, usually i add another next to it with a interesting pattern or with a little statement. I have gotten many compliments from girls and i also feel more confident wearing so many rings at the time. So there is always and exception, sort off and thats okay too!
