Today, designers are developing all sorts of variations of these accessories, allowing every man to complement his image with an original model. What materials, decor and types of men's bracelets will allow you to demonstrate your unique style?

Features and fashion trends of men's wrist bracelets

Despite the fact that jewelry, like other accessories and clothing, has its own trends, you should not blindly follow fashion. A bracelet is a personal item, and therefore its style should correspond to one’s own tastes and preferences, and lifestyle.

A long-term investment in a collection of accessories - classic bracelets made of gold, platinum or silver, other metal, wood or leather. The color of the decoration depends on the material used.

Products made of two metals, white gold or blackened silver, can be a stylish option. Traditional, but no less popular colors for leather bracelets are black or brown, gray.The shades of the last two tones can be very different.

Models in the color of bottle glass, dark blue or purple will be an original and noticeable accessory. In general, the colors of men's bracelets should not be too bright - natural shades of precious metals, neutral, restrained tones are popular. One or two catchy elements are allowed. These could be, for example, stones: such as malachite, turquoise, lapis lazuli. However, onyx remains the most “preferred” stone in men’s bracelets.

Reference. The appearance of a bracelet made of gold and silver depends on the standard of the metal. An accessory cannot be completely gold or silver - for strength and durability, the precious metal is combined with other materials. As a rule, high-quality bracelets from well-known manufacturers contain ⅔ gold, with the remainder being silver and copper. Their color is light yellow with a soft white glow (if silver predominates in the composition) or with a pinkish tint if there is more copper. Silver in bracelets is “strengthened” with copper. This metal is called sterling.

In addition to gold and silver, wrist accessories can be copper or titanium.

Bracelets made of precious and other metals, leather, without excessive decoration, are quite appropriate in a business style. Well, for everyday wear there are wide options, with bright inserts, pendants, and stones. Brutal style accessories contain elements such as spikes, rivets, skulls, images of animals (lion, wolf), marine themes, etc.

Reference. Some manufacturers produce modular bracelets - the basis of their laconic design, but pendants can be very different.They are selected individually or for a special occasion, allowing you to create a unique decoration that is not similar to others.

An always up-to-date option for decorating bracelets is engraving. It can be very different - for example, inscriptions or images that carry some meaning.

Types of stylish bracelets for men

By type, fashion bracelets are classified depending on their width - they are thin, medium and wide (from 6 to 12 cm), and metal bracelets differ in the type of weaving. Wide accessories are often called wristbands. Their appearance is quite noticeable, and therefore this decoration cannot be called universal in style and suitable for any image.

Popular types of weaving of metal bracelets are “Bismarck” (“Kaiser”, “Cardinal”), anchor weaving, varieties of armor weaving - “Byzantine”, “Figaro”. Anchor weaving, where even and odd links are located in different planes, looks laconic and stylish, but Byzantine weaving can be called more complex and eye-catching.

The peculiarity of armor weaving, the type of which is Byzantine, is that links of different sizes are connected to each other in one plane and polished on both sides. “Bismarck” is considered the traditional and most durable technique - this weaving consists of 2-3 rows of links combined into a multi-row track.

A stylish and popular type of men's bracelet is the “shambhala”. The accessory is made of metal strips or ropes, between the rows of which beads are skillfully woven. The latter can be made of precious stones, semi-precious stones or polymer clay.

Reference. The Shambhala bracelet is considered a talisman. The properties and purpose of the accessory depend on what stones were used.For example, to gain financial independence you need to wear jewelry with onyx (this stone will also help improve your health); to achieve harmony in your personal life, you should purchase malachite decor - this stone also brings good luck.

Bracelets made of beads are trending. The latter can be made of wood, stones or a combination. Accessories made entirely of beads may not seem very masculine to some. They should pay attention to the fashionable option, where these details are combined with leather. In such a frame, any, even bright stone, looks restrained and laconic.

A fashionable variation of the already mentioned engraved bracelets are personalized ones. The owner's name can be placed on a special plate or on beads (a letter for each) - such decoration looks impressive and stylish.

Bracelets are also made in religious and ethnic style. They can be equipped with Orthodox or Muslim paraphernalia.

How to choose and wear a bracelet for a man

When choosing jewelry, consider whether it matches the style and material of the item that you constantly wear, such as a watch. It is also necessary to take into account skin tone: gold is suitable for “warm” skin tones, silver for “cold” skin tones.

Reference. You can determine your skin tone by looking at the veins on your wrist. If they are bluish, the skin is “cold”; if they are greenish, the skin is “warm”.

Bracelets can also be used in a business look, if they are classic jewelry made of precious or other metals, or simple leather ones. It is better to wear conspicuous accessories on weekends or in the evening.

When choosing the size, model and material of the bracelet, also take into account your body type and age. The larger the man, the larger the accessory he can afford.As for age, it is better for young people to give preference to leather options or choose an accessory with metal inserts.

When purchasing a bracelet, choose the right size. The decoration should not slide onto the brush or hang down. In order to fit tightly, its length should be 1–1.5 cm longer than the circumference of the wrist.

The bracelet can be worn on the same hand with a watch, subject to a number of conditions: it must be located above the watch and be made of the same material and in the same style. If the jewelry is made of a different metal, then it is better to put it on the other hand.

When choosing jewelry, you should remember restraint and conciseness. Only by observing this condition can a man create a harmonious and complete image that emphasizes his masculinity.
