THE D.R.A.G. BOX

Accessorising

Men's accessories can be gaudy or understated, and it should go without saying that the more luxurious it looks, the more successful the illusion will be.
Layering chains can infer wealth, for example, and costume jewelry can achieve this end with some tweaking. It helps to sand down any plastic seams and keep gold or silver paints on hand to touch up any tarnishing. Otherwise an unadorned, thick chain, a watch, a single earring, and a signet ring are the classic set of accessories that signify restrained masculine luxury. Metal and gemstones are

traditionally preferred - a plastic apple watch strap and a resin earrring are less timelesss & elegant than a small diamond stud or hoop, or leather/chainlink on a watchstrap.

That which is quintessentially masculine can be fiddled with to imbue your Drag further with a masculine air. Rotating your cufflinks, checking your watch, playing with a signet ring and adjusting a chain are all easy ways to embody King Drag.

Men's fasion can lean androgynous, including heels, bolder earrings, adorned necklaces with pendants, and bracelets. These fit in best with vintage or historical fashion recreations; the 70s style, for example, is very forgiving with rings, necklaces, long hair and heeled boots, and men's fashion prior to the 20th century was often quite ornamental. Don't be afraid to use historical male fashion silhouettes when mining for Drag King look inspiration.
