Men’s bracelets have taken many forms over the years. From puka shells worn after a beach holiday to slap bracelets banned by schools everywhere in 90s. And don’t forget that neon plastic bracelet trend from 2004…and the copies that popped up on wrists worldwide. Take away the trends and you’ll notice that one constant remains –bracelets.
A bracelet is one of the easiest accessories to wear. A little band of leather or beads can give an outfit that extra ounce of oomph, and it can help us share a bit of our personality without ever having to say a word. It can be our way of hinting to a life outside of the office, or the way we share a vibe with those around us. The key to wearing a bracelet is effortlessness. If you understand this, you won’t fall prey to every single bracelet trend on earth.
Below Are Few Tips On How To Choose And Wear Bracelets
How To Find The Right Fit Bracelets
Good fitting bracelets has a bit of extra space between itself and your wrist… but not so much that it slides up and down your forearm/hand. You should be able to slide 1 or 2 fingers under the bracelets and your wrists. A good tip to treat bracelets like you would your watch – keep it under your sleeve. Remember this if you wear a chunky bracelet, as you may end up with a bulge under your cuff or a bracelet that can’t fit under the sleeve.
Overall Style & Look Of Bracelets
What is the look you are going for? This is the key question. Bracelets – and accessories in general – are used to personalize your overall look. Think about the messages you’re trying to pass on with your style. A good tip is to go natural. A bracelet with natural materials like leather, wood and stone wear well over time and get better with age. The colour of these materials is also easier to wear and matches almost any outfit. Wearing all shiny metals can go a bit hip hop video… in the wrong way. Avoid this by mixing metals with a natural element. Leather, for example, keeps the metal looking masculine and subdues the whole vibe in a right way.
With Classy Bracelets, Know Where You Are Going
You’ll have one or two favourites, but you don’t have to wear them all the time. Not every bracelet will be suitable for all occasions. For many formal contexts, we’d recommend going with a thin, discreet single bracelet in a dark colour. You could also wear a silver or gold chain that matches the colour of your cuff-links.
