By virtue of the more casual nature of the materials, unless you work somewhere where every day is dress-down Friday, brown leather, beaded and rope bracelets should all be saved for the weekend.

Types Of Men’s Bracelets

Gold Bracelets

The most iconic of all gold bracelets is the Cartier love bangle. A pre-Facebook relationship status for famous couples including Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Ali MacGraw and Steve McQueen, and more recently, Kim and Kanye, it’s credited with changing the way we wear jewellery. As such, a brass or yellow gold bracelet worn by itself on the opposite wrist to your watch will look good whether your shopping trips are spent on Savile Row or queuing at Supreme.

Silver Bracelets

Far from a cheap replacement for gold, silver has the benefit of being the least flashy of all of the metals, and can therefore take being moulded into a seriously chunky style or something a bit tongue-in-cheek without looking naff. Try layering yours with a few beaded or braided bracelets for a laid-back twist that won’t verge on hippie chic.

Alice Made This

Rope Bracelets

The casual cousin to leather bracelets, rope or cord styles are more versatile than they first appear. Try a plain version for something that will sit effortlessly under any sleeve, or amp up the interest with a charm or a talisman to add a further touch of individualism.

Chain Bracelets

With ’80s style going strong (see also: tracksuits, light wash denim and relaxed tailoring), it was only a matter of time before chains got big again. Literally. Call Me By Your Name star and committed magpie Timothée Chalamet has been known to wear a chunky gold chain bracelet. It’s a look that works well largely due to his nonchalant style. Pair these with a suit at your peril, unless you’re okay with being mistaken for a pawnbroker.
