Mens Style Tips: offer Wearing Bracelets

  More men are wearing bracelets as accessories these days. Whether they're dressing for the office, for a night on the town, or for a day at the beach, men use bracelets to add a bit of unique personality to their looks. In this article, I offer a few important style tips to help your man choose the right bracelet or bracelets for the office.  

Size Them Right

The key to wearing bracelets is to size them right. This not only means choosing a bracelet that fits his wrist properly, but also choosing a width that complements the occasion, as well as his other accessories. If he wears a large watch, it makes sense for him to pair it with a slender metal band or a couple of leather corded bands. This adds interest without taking attention away from his timepiece. The smaller the bands, the more he can stack them for interest. Steer him away from stacking wide bands. If he wants to wear a wide band with a couple of thinner bracelets, that is fine, as long as he doesn't overdo it. Especially if he sits at a computer or spends hours on the phone, ensuring a proper fit is imperative. Make sure that he can fit no more than two fingers under the band. Caution him against wearing bracelets that slide up and down too freely. This will grow unnerving after a couple of hours of trying work around them. Also, if he spends a lot of time typing or writing, he may do better with natural materials like leather, hemp, or fiber, as they will give more when pressed against his desk.    

Wearing Bracelets at the Office

In a professional setting, bracelets offer a touch of class and sophistication. If he wears a suit and tie, encourage him to find bracelets in a metal that matches his tie clip and cufflinks. Also, take into account whether he wears a watch. For business attire, it pays to match metals for all accessories. If he wants to wear leather or fiber, have him choose a color close to the color of his suit or pocket square. This will add a complementary flair that draws the eye without causing a distraction.

Burnished or oxidized metals also offer a distinctively masculine vibe. (source) After reading these tips, I hope you will encourage your man to try wearing bracelets at work. I think men wearing bracelets has tremendous sex appeal, but in an understated, sophisticated way. ~Angela Magnotti Andrews
