How to wear bracelets – accessory tips for him

Can men wear bracelets? Yes, they can! A bracelet is one of the simplest accessories that, when worn correctly, can really accentuate and polish your outfit. It can be a specific gesture, as well as express your personality or a certain attitude to life.

Men's bracelets have evolved enormously in terms of variety and materials in recent years. Bracelets made of leather in various thicknesses, with stones in different colors and sizes, or made of metal (such as curb chain bracelets) – the selection for men is vast.

Find the right bracelet

In everyday life, you should consider what outfit you're wearing before putting on the bracelet. Before we get into outfit combinations, there are a few basic things to consider when choosing a bracelet:

• Size/proportion and fit
• personal style
• the occasion

The size of the bracelet should match your proportions. Larger, bolder bracelets are perfect for larger arms, while smaller, more understated bracelets perfectly accentuate thinner arms. In addition to size, the fit is also crucial. The bracelet should never be too long or too loose on the arm. A finger's width of space between the hand and the bracelet allows it to be hidden under your shirt, similar to a wristwatch, and doesn't add too much bulk under your cufflinks.

Anything heavy should be fitted more tightly, whereas lighter straps (leather or fabric) can fit more loosely.

The look of the bracelet should complement and personalize your appearance. You should always consider what message you want to convey with your look.

Natural materials like wood, leather, and stone are timeless and indestructible. These materials can be combined in a variety of ways and almost always match. You can also stack these bracelets on your arm, whereas this is a no-go with (thicker) metal bracelets.

For a business look with a suit and shirt, a metal bracelet, even a curb chain, is the perfect match for your watch to complement the sleek look. Keep in mind, however, that too much shine is more suited to a hip-hop video than to your business attire. Therefore, opt for brushed, matte versions of metal or gold bracelets.

Which side should the bracelets be worn on? There's no rule here, but choose one side – wearing bracelets on both arms is a no-go!

Different types of men's bracelets

There's a wide selection of men's bracelets for different occasions. We have a large selection in our shop and have summarized the different styles for you here:

Leather bracelets for men

This is the type of bracelet that offers the most choice. Simple, thin versions, or wrapped several times around the arm, or wide and strikingly braided – there's a leather bracelet to suit every style. A thin, simple version is best to match your watch. It's important to ensure the bracelet complements the color of the watch. There's also a wide range of finishes – wide, smooth leather bracelets, narrow or wide braided bracelets, and round bands offer a wide variety of options for the wearer.

Metal bracelets for men

Metal bracelets are the high-quality option. Stainless steel, silver, gold-plated, or plain – this type is arguably the most masculine category of bracelet. There are a variety of variations and styles; metal bracelets are traditionally worn with a suit—a shirt and tie. But a metal bracelet is also a suitable companion for business casual wear with a polo shirt and chinos. When it comes to metal bracelets, color combinations and decorations with stones and the like are a no-go!

Men's bracelets with pearls

The casual option is bracelets with different stones or beads – the standard accessory for surfers and beach vacationers. With these bracelets, it's important to avoid combining too many different variations, thicknesses, and materials. Subtle, single-colored bracelets, like the SON bracelet with matte black onyx stones, are perfect for a business outfit when paired with the right watch.
