The best bracelets for men 2023

THERE are no two ways about it: jewellery can make or break a look, and quickly.

Go for a misplaced necklace or ring and it might throw off the consistency of an outfit; but choose the right one and it can reinforce the feel you’re going for, whether that be pared back and minimalist or something more daring.

This is true of bracelets as well. They might not be for everyone, and that’s OK. But a well-chosen bracelet can quickly introduce an added element of personality into a daily fit, elevating it and giving it plenty of individuality.

But what should you look for and how do you know which one is right for you? Here’s everything you need to know, as well as ten of the best men’s bracelets on sale today.

Made from a high-quality 925 sterling silver, this polished cuff bangle is simple and easy to wear.

Simply slide it on your wrist and squeeze or pull to tailor the size.

Its medium width means it will suit all wrists, while its minimal design will ensure it goes with virtually anything, from tailoring to casual wear.

You can’t go too far wrong with a Cuban bracelet. The distinctive style is easily recognisable thanks to its six-sided links, which combine for a chunky, statement finish.

This one is made from stainless steel and features a medium thickness for maximum versatility.

For a look inspired by the outdoors and more specifically rock climbing, look to this paracord bracelet.

Made from an ultra-strong 3mm rope, and with a stainless steel carabiner, it gives off a slightly rugged, relaxed feel that is best suited to similarly adventure-inspired casualwear.

Think fleece jackets, technical trousers and hiking boots.

Coming in a two-pack, this Cuban bracelet set is ideal if you’re looking to stack bracelets, or you simply want to keep one while gifting the other to someone else.

The two styles differ slightly. The first is slightly chunkier, with distinctive six-sided links and a lobster clasp, which can be easily taken on and off.

The second boasts a tighter, more intricately woven finish and comes with a folder clasp for a more clean-cut look.

Simple and easy to style, this copper bracelet boasts a polished finish for a slightly smarter look versus brushed.

If you don’t fancy silver or gold, copper is a great alternative and one that works well with a range of personal styles.

Try this one with denim jeans, a knitted polo and classic trainers, and you can’t go wrong.

Cuban bracelets are great and all, but they can sometimes be too chunky.

For the same design with a slightly thinner, more approachable finish, try this Mejuri take.

Made from 925 sterling silver, it comes with a thin 5.55mm width, giving it a slimmer profile that’s better suited to thinner wrists, or for those after a more understated look.

Husband and wife duo Dan Dower and Diane Hall are the brainpower behind their eponymous brand, which has been featured in the wardrobes of numerous TV shows and films since its founding in 1990.

This particular bracelet has a subtle hammered finish, giving it an old-school textured look that instantly marks it out from the oft-too-perfect polished designs of its competitors.

Try it as part of a minimal look consisting of a black T-shirt, black jeans and leather boots.

For the ideal in-between look, that’s not as bold as a Cuban bracelet but not as simple as a cuff, try a snake chain.

This one is finished in oxidised sterling silver and comes with a durable carabiner closure, making it easy to take on and off in a hurry.

If you’re looking to make your first bracelet purchase, this Alfred & Co design is a great place to start.

It’s got a simple cuff design which can be adjusted to any wrist shape, while its hammered finish gives it an appealing texture that’s unique to each one.

Miansai makes some of the finest bracelets on the market, either from silver, gold or brass.

This minimal cuff is crafted from the latter and comes with a brushed matte outer and a polished interior, which showcases a level of detail that’s often overlooked by other brands.

The style

So where should you start? A good place would be pinning down the kind of style you’re looking for.

Do you want a statement piece or are you after something more subdued? This will dictate which direction you go in. For something louder it might be worth going for a bold, chunky metal bracelet, perhaps in gold or brass.

Cuban links have been incredibly popular for some time, but you could also consider an engraved bangle or cuff bracelet, which will achieve a similar effect.

For something more pared back, look to thinner styles from more subdued metals like silver or steel, which will go under the radar. You could also pick up a woven leather or canvas bracelet, which are easy to wear with casual outfits.

Decide when you’ll wear it

That brings us on to a very important point - when and where you’ll actually wear it. There’s no use going for a loud gold bracelet if you work in a formal office, where jewellery is harder to get away with.

If you find yourself wearing tailoring more often than not, it might be more appropriate to wear something a little more subtle, which better complements a blazer and trousers.

But then rules are made to be broken. If you like said bracelet, it doesn’t really matter what others think. Simply wear it with confidence and it will become a part of your look in no time.
