It’s no secret that men’s necklaces are in fashion. And on red carpets, actors like Jacob Elordi and Paul Mescal have become a regular fixture. On the streets, these former men fall into the category of “arete wala” men. Mullet“, a haircut that leaves the sides short and the back wide. The classification came from a viral soundbite a few years ago, but it manages to create an archetype for the contemporary young man that endures over time.. In any way, it is clear that this little episode, which is complementary without much ostentation, but quite recognizable, takes years to break down all kinds of barriers. They are also elderly.
We were stuck on that same red carpet. This maturity is the perfect moment to highlight what took Harrison Ford years to prove. After 50 years, the actor sent him to two friends who took him to the pendant, and after eating with them, he entered the first place he had. The hole The lobe was perforated. “When I came home, my 9-year-old son asked me if he could do it, and he said, ‘Sure, when you’re 55,’” the 83-year-old actor says some time ago. prom Written by comedian Jimmy Fallon.
Ford has always championed the free and distinct point he brings to one’s physical appearance, especially when one tries to comb one’s hair. Behind him was a long list of loyal defenders such as 88-year-old Morgan Freeman. In his case, he explained on his social media networks that he carried pirate-style pennies, made of gold, so that upon his death he could sell them and cover funeral expenses with them. I take inspiration from the character of Burt Lancaster The terrifying El Perlon (1952).
In the future, there are more examples, especially in music. Keith Richards may be the greatest actor of attachment in rock music. But they all follow the same trend: the archetype of the bohemian man who seeks to break social canons with flair. This number goes from pirate to rocker and it’s not the only constant damage pulling the collar. On the other hand, it also continues to carry the idea that it is exclusively for homosexual men. As early as 1960, many men in the LGTB community began using it in the right ear as proof of identity, but it remained in use for years. The truth is that she emerged from these sealed compartments and the impunity of fame Boom It has become widespread in all social classes. To decide: Do you have to associate with certain groups to become a supplement that all men can benefit from without drawing attention to themselves or their age?
Juan P., 53, has no doubt. “Now a lot of things have become normal,” he explains. “I was there this summer and a lot of people spent weeks seeing me every day without realizing I had accepted it.” When he was young, he dreamed of a pirate ring (he saw it as “dangerous and daring”), but he never took other trips. I also thought about it a lot when I was encouraged to take this step. “I decided because I wanted to quit smoking. My wife and I wanted to do something and encouraged me to accompany them. I thought it was a good idea. So, when I started smoking, I was able to touch him and feel his support,” he explains. Throughout his life he has had different jobs (painter, pianist…) and ensures that he does not think that the environments in which he moves differ in their acceptance. “Y si lo hacen, give me equality.”
Borja M., a 43-year-old journalist, also knows his first necklace, but he receives many reactions in his surroundings. “The sight of someone being surprised was so great that I haven’t seen it since I was surprised,” he says. “It makes me understand that I have to give explanations, and when people ask me, I always say it was a life crisis, on an ironic level, but clearly there is something real in it.” “When I was 20, it had other connotations, perhaps a more restricted element than now, associated with certain urban tribes, attitudes and lifestyles.” He had time to do so, but he was afraid that the clients of his previous work would change the impression he had of him simply by going over the edge. One night he committed to doing it with his friends, 51 and 41, and two days later he launched himself into a lobotomy. “In a very short time, society, fashion and my way of seeing things have changed. In some ways, we have new codes of youth. We resist depriving ourselves of youth. I hope we don’t give as much shame from then on as the bald people who collect them.”
Journalist Robert Amstrong devoted an opinion column a few weeks ago Financial Times For the same concern. the address Should I go back to the pendant at 54? In his case he claimed that the necklace is a way to give a tour of his aesthetics and get closer to the unexplored area in men’s style: jewelry. He wrote: “When I was young and reckless, I quit money, but quit when I got stuck giving job interviews. Now I’m thinking of getting back to them. The contrast with the rest of my style, more classic, would be very interesting and I’d be happy because people would try to guess what secret I’m betraying. I don’t have anyone, there’s only grace.” As Sinala Amstrong, the commentator, above all, he is linked to a profile that has been a renegade for several years, and which always overcomes his doubts and hides a big reason behind it. Couldn’t it just be aesthetic?

From the center of Piercings Madrid, Ale Domínguez remembers that holes, from their origins, carry a small sense of ritual that is often inescapable. “Marcan um anterior y un depués en la vida. It can be something that takes time to wait. There are nerves, pain and everything that is channeled with the performance. Once you feel happy, every time you see it, it reminds you why you lost it,” explains Domínguez, Insightful And the owner of the studio. Rejoicing, changing spouses, or finally getting a stable job are the reasons that encourage many people to approach attachment. This is a huge change in the social perception of the necklace, which, according to People, has dramatically doubled the number of customers, especially for those over 40 years old.
Among this new group of clients, Dominguez finds a distinct difference. For the younger ones, who seek to connect performances with deeper meanings and changes, Solen Mayors justify them more for aesthetic reasons and can discover all the meanings that lie behind them. Everyone is treated differently to the same argument: “It’s an idea they’ve had all their lives, but they don’t dare do it because they say so.” This is as good a reason as any. Nothing indicates anything before or after, it’s pretty clear that he thinks he’s stopped caring what he thinks of you.
