A trend ever since Harry Styles took over as the it-man in the world of fashion, pearl necklaces for men seem to be on an ever-rising high. Fashion houses are sending male models down the runway donning a hot string of pearls, and even dressing some of their favourite celebs with the beloved gem. There are entire Instagram accounts dedicated to boys in pearls, and everywhere we look, we seem to be drawn to the man who boasts them around his neck.
