A$AP Rocky says pearls are in

Pearls for men have been everywhere lately — and we think they’re here to stay. Like a lot of our current fashion landscape, A$AP Rocky was one of the first to adopt the look. The rapper started wearing the classic jewel back in 2019 and since then he’s kept them as part of his regular rotation, most recently pairing a suit with an oversized pearl necklace and matching rings.

Harry Styles is also a noted member of the pearls club, most famously wearing a single pearl drop earring to the 2019 Met Gala. Like Rocky, since first debuting the look, Styles is rarely seen without a band of pearls around his neck.

Men wearing pearls isn't a fad — it's an example of how the jewelry world is finally opening up to genderless style. Last year, men buying jewelry increased by 150% according to Lyst's report, while searches for "men's pearls" increased by 17%, and searches for specific pearl styles (anklets and earrings respectively) grew by 67% and 25%.
