Recently, \u201cHappy\u201d singer Pharrell Williams was spotted out and about wearing pearls. According to the music hit maker, he wears the long strand of pearls with a purpose.<\/p>\n

According to IBN Live<\/a>, Pharrell had this to say about his choice of pearls and other jewels:<\/p>\n

\u201c’For ages, I got it wrong. I was competing with others because I wanted to draw attention to myself. But in the same way as I realized I wanted to put peaceful things in my music, I decided I should only be wearing jewelry with medicinal and holistic properties.<\/p>\n

For example, I wear yellow diamonds or emeralds because those stones have healing qualities, as well as soft water pearls. I don’t love jewels for what they represent. I love them for what they express, because they’re who I am inside.”<\/p>\n

We had the amazing opportunity to speak with fashion stylist and Fashion Institute of Technology Alumnae, Andre Freeland, about men wearing pearls.<\/p>\n

In 2003, Andre turned his passion for helping people take their everyday look to the next level by creating the Andre\u2019 Freeland Imagery and Consulting Firm<\/em><\/strong> to help men and women organize their closets and get the best out of their wardrobe, creating their signature style.<\/p>\n

Here are Andre\u2019s thoughts on men in pearls:\u00a0 \u201cIn this day and time, and depending on the event, all things are possible,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cI get where Pharrell is coming from and wearing pearls seems to be his bag and I see nothing wrong with it. He could very well be setting a trend for better health with great fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes, fashion and health do go hand-in-hand. We think that pearls are for everyone and that certain styles are completely versatile and could very well look good on a man, especially a bracelet in black pearls.<\/p>\n

What are your thoughts on men in pearls? Is it a yes or a no?<\/p>\n
