Do’s And Don’ts of Wearing Men’s Bracelets
Accessories can make a huge impact to how you look. Though underutilized among men, it is a great way to change your overall look. Fashion experts believe that men’s bracelets can come in handy in so many situations. But of course, you have to understand that it is crucial for you to always know your limitations. These are some common do’s and don’ts of wearing mens bracelets!
Do’s
Minimalist approach
Ever wondered if the rule “less is more” applies to bracelets? People make the mistake of overdoing accessories - unless they are multiple beaded bracelets layered next to each other. Stacks of bracelets usually make a tacky sense of style.
A lot of fashion experts suggest minimalist approach when it comes to utilizing men’s bracelets. As rule of thumb, a watch on the left hand, and a simple elegant bracelet on the other often times do the trick.
Minimalism works like magic especially if you are after getting people’s attention to your accessories. Using a minimalist fashion approach, you get people to look at your accessories either it’s your watch or your bracelet.
Use bracelets as an accent
Embracing a color theme for your bracelet is a good idea, especially if you are after an accent. If you love wearing dark shirts for instance, why not have a red bracelet? This way, everyone will easily notice your accessory.
Color isn’t the only thing that can be used as an accent for your bracelets. You can also stick to unconventional materials such as leather. Aside from leather, you can also stick with woven bracelets or the trendy hook or anchor bracelets which could definitely standout.
Invest in precious metals
A lot of people settle for cheap bracelets. What they don’t know is that similar to watches; expensive bracelets can also be a long term investment. Gold and silver bracelets can easily be considered classic pieces that could still be worn after a few decades. Also, if you plan on selling these items, you may even get some return from them.
Legit sterling silver with 925 marking makes a great investment (see our range of genuine Sterling Silver men's jewellery). This has a genuine value which can be resold with a great price. Also, silver is a timeless material. It has been proven to be fashionable regardless of the decade.
Explore different designs
Men have long been victims to limited options when it comes to accessories. Most of them settle to man bracelets that are too simple in terms of designs. Why not try leather bracelets for a change? Or maybe, try something that is a bit loud in design? If matched perfectly with the right apparel, it is a good thing waiting to happen.
What are the most common styles that have dominated the market lately? Among the most highly popular styles today is a maritime inspired outfit.
Maritime styles have now translated into bracelets. You get bracelets that have anchors or hooks among the many nautical emblems (such as Miansai accessories). Why not explore some of these styles?
Use accessories matching the event
Are you going to wear leather bracelets on a formal occasion? It is imperative that you know when and where to wear certain accessories, especially for bracelets. If you are in doubt, it is a good idea to stick with subtle style bracelets that can easily be paired with a watch. See our popular bracelets worn with mens watches such as our mens beaded bracelets.
Dont's
Don’t mix low-end with high-end bracelets
Mens bracelets can be found in different markets at varying levels of quality. There are those that are for the high end market made from precious metals such as, Gold, Sterling Silver, containing Sapphire, Crystal, Gemstones...etc while there are those for the low-end ones which can be poorly constructed faux leathers (which is actually not leather at all).
It's also not common practise to mix silver and gold. Best stick with just the one and use contrasts such as different coloured beads in beaded bracelets or black or brown leather in woven leather bracelets.
Buying the right Bracelets for the right occasion
There are so man men's bracelets available in the market. With different styles and only two wrists, it can be a challenge to pick the right bracelet for you. In addition to this, you also have to consider the occasion when it comes to picking the right bracelets. Picking the right one can be daunting especially if you are looking to use the accessory for a particular occasion, but it can also be fun. Here are some tips that you could use when it comes to accessorising with bracelets.
Everyday use
For a lot of individuals, finding the right men's jewellery for work can be confusing. It's important to find a balance between not overdressing and trying to look like a blingy showoff and setting a fashion trend that is appropriate for what you do and the environment (like for your colleagues and boss). The way you dress establishes a positive or a negative impression especially if you are talking to clients. Similar to having a job interview, you want to make sure that you dress according to what is expected from you.
Business casual means that you should stick having a classy, 'James Bond' style look. This goes true for your accessories as well so if you're looking at your bracelet options, go for something that's quality, understated and not too 'in your face'.
Wearing bracelets that have a loud style may not work best in the workplace. Instead, conservative, plain or finely detailed bracelets with an accent of a gemstone or diamond may be most suitable.
Functionality is also a consideration that you don’t want to forget. Are you always typing? Or perhaps operating equipment? Always ensure that the size of the bracelet will not get in the way of your day to day activities. If you're a trade that gets into some rough outdoor work then anything made from Stainless Steel is definitely best for you. It is super strong, won't rust or tarnish if it gets wet from water or sweat and can look as awesome as much more expensive Sterling Silver. Stainless Steel jewellery is the best value if you're looking for something that looks great and is durable.
Night out
A lot of people dress to impress when going out to clubs during the weekend. How exactly do you impress with your bracelets? Though you can mix your favorite bracelets, you need to still have a theme. Variety can work if it's layering beaded bracelets together or double or triple wrap woven leather bracelets. If you wear a cuff with a leather bracelet and a beaded bracelet then this could look disorganized and tacky.
Formal occasion
Formal occasions can be a lot of fun as you can wear those high end Sterling Silver with gemstone cuff bracelets or layer up black agate or Cubic Zirconia beaded bracelets. Remember to check if your bracelets match your clothes. If you want to wear some bracelets along side a nice watch, then beaded bracelets are perfect.
Bracelets, similar to watches, can make a huge difference. Regardless if you are working or if you are going out to party, find the right accessories for the right occasion.We hope that with these tips, you can have fun finding your perfect bracelet and love wearing itthe selection process for the bracelets.
How To Choose the right Bracelet to match your Personality
Accessories can be a good addition to your current fashion. It can help you stand out if done correctly. But most of the time, men tend to use bracelets the wrong way. It can either be too loud or it can also be outdated. What most people don’t know is that you should select the bracelet that matches your very own personality. So how do you choose the right bracelet that will match your personality? Here's some tips to help you.
Outgoing
Are you the type of person who is very outgoing? If you are the type who loves to make friends, and who goes out on a weekend regularly, then choose something that's a bit more lively, such as a set of beaded bracelets for that layered look which is very much on trend.
Find bracelets that have colour or contrasts. Contrasting gold or silver against black stones such as Cubic Zirconia or Black Agate are ideal.
Quiet person
Are you a quiet or more conservatively styled person? You may be the type who enjoys relaxing with a magazine and a cup of coffee during your free time. Conservative personalities will match conservative fashion style and accessories, so stick with one or two quality bracelets.
Professional
For professionals who work a nine to five job inside an office living the corporate world, it's best to always look sharp. Corporate fashion style often means investing in a quality watch with nicely contrasting bracelets in fine materials to help you look sharp.
To maintain a professional look, wear subtle, classy jewellery. For mens bracelet materials, consider Sterling Silver, Gold or gemstone beaded bracelets that can be used as an accent to your overall attire. These types of bracelets can also be mixed and matched with nice watches.
Sporty
Are you someone who loves sports? A sporty individual can also accessorise and look fantastically on trend. We often see pro's wear bracelets and necklaces (just think Raphael Nadal with his gold necklace when he plays tennis). If you love sports, it is also a good idea to find bracelets that are durable and won't fall off easily. Avoid Cuff bracelets and gemstones here and go for Rubber Bracelet and Stainless Steel options.
