If you’ve already watched the last season of Never Have I Ever, then you’ve already seen the latest addition to the cast–the self-proclaimed hottie Ethan Morales played by Michael Cimino. (Tiny spoiler ahead.) He doesn’t end up with Devi. The boy is bad news for her and loves to steal. And that’s the end of the chapter on Ethan. But we’re not here for the bad boy vibes; instead we’re here for his sense of style, which has caught our attention, besides his good looks, of course. Think V-neck ganjis layered with oversized plaid shirts and denim jackets or chest revealing shirts, all accessorised with chain necklaces and pendants–and we’ve taken a fancy for his jewellery game! Even IRL, Michael seems to love dainty chains. Although it’s minimal, it adds an extra oomph factor to the look.
In the age of Harry Styles, Ishaan Khattar, Vijay Varma or Ranveer Singh, it’s absolutely normal for male celebrities to sport some bling. And if you’re someone who is inspired by their choice of neck chains, we’re here to help you.
