Bracelets for men are not a new fashion trend, or a passing trend. This accessory has been worn by men since prehistoric times to mark power, religious beliefs and social status.
Beyond the historical connection of wearing bracelets, at the end of the day this is an amazing fashion accessory that significantly upgrades our look.
Bracelets can be found in all kinds of materials, from precious metals, simpler metals, leather, woven fibers, beads from natural and synthetic materials and more. Some bracelets with gems can also impart healing properties to aid your overall well-being (some believe).
Not sure which bracelet is right for your look?
First, start by measuring the circumference of the wrist. In general, the circumference of the wrist of men ranges from 18 to 24 cm.
If you do not have a tape measure, wrap the thumb and forefinger of one hand around the opposite wrist. If you can connect your fingers then you have a small wrist. If there is some space between them, you are mediocre. And if they are not close to each other, you probably have a pretty big wrist.
Aside from the size, check the bone structure of your wrists. Do your bones protrude, or do you barely notice them? This important feature will help you determine what types of bracelets might be right for you.
Selecting the bracelet type
If you do not know where to start your choice, choose from the most popular types like silver bracelet, or bracelet with gold plating.
Do you like beads? Something woven? Overlapping leather straps?
First you may want to stick to the basic form with a gold or silver stripe that allows for a personal and emotional engraving that will accompany you in your daily life.
As with any accessory, several styles and materials of bracelets combined together can produce a cool look, instead of each being completely casual. You can also find ones that fit comfortably when each is worn by a different hand.
Metal bracelets
A polished metal bracelet made of silver, silver plated with gold, gold, or stainless steel, can add quite a bit of shine to any garment. Be sure to check what width is most appropriate for your wrist. Too thin may look like a female bracelet, too wide may look like a handcuff. However, if you can carry the look do not hesitate, and go for it!
Engraving bracelets are always a safe bet. You can engrave your name or your message on the smooth metal board, or even leave it in the basic look without any engraving.
You should be able to fit the sleeve of your shirt to the bracelet. Be sure to go with short sleeves or rolled up sleeves so that the bracelet will stand out.
Beaded bracelets
Bracelets with beads are one of the most popular styles for men. They can be made of metal, bone, stone, pearls, fabric or glass. Some of the beads are worn for healing purposes, others for spiritual connection and others just for fun. They come in a huge variety of colors and sizes and give you a chance to upgrade your look.
Leather Bracelets
Individual leather bracelets, or in layers, flow and give a “bad boy” look. This style will give you the updated look, especially if you pair it with a T-shirt, jeans and sneakers or flip-flops depending on the season.
Why not try a leather bracelet with a metal engraving strip for a rough and up-to-date look?
Things to know:
Men’s bracelets can cost anywhere from around $ 40 to thousands of dollars.
If you can, buy only quality leather, stainless steel, silver or real gold.
No matter what wrist you wear your bracelet on.
Make sure the bracelet fits, and is not too heavy or bulky.
Keep it personal. Be bold or discreet. In a loud or quiet voice. Wear one at a time, or as many as you want. You will instinctively know what works for you, and reflects your personality.
Above all, you must be able to carry your look with confidence and hold on to it.
