Bracelets for Men
Which bracelets look good on men?
Whether a bracelet looks good on a man is ultimately up to each individual. Taste and personal style are what matter most here. Especially popular are these variations:
- a classic leather bracelet in brown or black that goes with almost any outfit
- a stainless steel bracelet or one in silver tones for a slightly cooler, cleaner look
- a chain or link bracelet for a bolder statement
- a bracelet with pearls or beads for a relaxed, summery style
Which bracelet works best depends on your own style: if you prefer something understated, go for a single slim bracelet; if you want more of a statement, combine several bracelets into a stack.
How should a men's bracelet fit?
A men's bracelet should sit loosely on the wrist without slipping around. As a rule of thumb, you should still be able to slide about a finger's width between the bracelet and your skin. That leaves enough freedom of movement and keeps the bracelet from pinching. Stainless steel bracelets or bangles sit a little more firmly, while leather and beaded bracelets tend to move a bit more.
What bracelet size is right for men?
The right size depends on your wrist circumference. For men this is usually between 17 and 21 cm. It's best to measure your wrist with a tape measure just above the wrist bone and add around 1 to 2 cm depending on how loose you'd like it to sit. Many bracelets have an adjustable clasp or a sliding mechanism, so they adapt flexibly. The exact measurements are given in each product description.
How do I combine a men's bracelet?
A bracelet pairs nicely with other jewellery and accessories. If you wear a watch, a slim bracelet looks good on the same or the other wrist. For a coordinated look, match the bracelet in colour to a necklace or your belt – leather with leather, say, or silver tones with silver tones. Less is often more here: one or two well-chosen pieces look more refined than too many at once.
