In every culture there are unique ways for men to make themselves appear as presentable as possible. In our western culture that is now global culture our way of doing that is western-style clothes, nice shoes, watch etc.

In a way those things are our version of jewelry.

men's fashion follows status and status follows your role in society

in the past that meant being a military authority, the only one who can afford rare bright colors and shiny things, instantly recognizeable, in the industrial revolution it meant looking like a wealthy bourgeois who virtuously made his money by going down to the shop floor and sorting out business yet also a hard working expert so disgruntled workers see you as one of them

French revolution. Since they kept on "oppressing" the women as before women kept on using that shit. Nobles and well to do people wore jewelry everywhere but it died out for men with the guillotine.
