Looking for something to wear on your wrist? Here are just a few of the best accessories for men and how to pull them off.

Watches

Wristwatches may not serve much of a practical need nowadays given that anyone can easily check the time on their phone. However, they’re still a great fashion statement that can help you to look more organised and sophisticated. There are even eco-friendly handmade wooden watches that you should consider engraving with a personal touch!

There are three main types of wristwatch: analog, digital and hybrid. The two most common strap materials meanwhile are leather and metal. The likes of this website have plenty of exciting watch designs to check out. You don’t have to spend a lot on a good watch and there are plenty of affordable and trendy models out there. There are many different kinds of watches to choose from, and finding Jacob & Co watches for sale, or finding another type of watch you like, can help boost your confidence and outfits.

If you want to look stylish without spending an arm and a leg to get a new timepiece, an economical way to upgrade a wristwatch is to change its straps. The options for watch straps are endless, and you can easily make the switch yourself. Whether you want straps in different colors or materials like leather, suede, or nylon, there is always something to suit your tastes.

It’s traditional for men to wear a watch on their left wrist, but really it doesn’t matter which wrist you wear it on so long as it’s comfortable.

Bracelets

Bracelets can be manly. While thin metal bracelets with charms tend to be strictly feminine, there are many designs that are distinctly masculine such as leather bracelets, broad metal bands and ID bracelets. Metal bracelets are great for formal occasions, while leather bracelets are perfect for casual occasions.

Bracelets ideally should be close against the skin so that they sit under a long sleeve. You can wear a bracelet with a wristwatch and you can stack bracelets, but in both cases you should stick to thin bracelets rather than thick cuffs. Bracelets can be worn on both arms, but you shouldn’t wear too many of them.

Leather cuffs

A leather cuff tends to be suited for more casual occasions (you wouldn’t want to wear one with a suit to a business meeting). Brown leather cuffs look great with t-shirts and long-sleeve casual tops. Black leather cuffs may have more of an alternative feel and are popular among the punk and metal crowd (especially studded ones).

A single cuff may be all you want to wear. You probably don’t want to stack any other wristwear with them as it may look a little odd. Not all cuffs have adjustable straps so make sure you know your size before buying one as you don’t want it to be too tight or too loose around the wrist.

Rope bracelets

Rope bracelets are also great casual wristwear options. They tend to give off a hippy-esh vibe (you probably wouldn’t want to wear them with a suit) and many people stack them. They can be worn with thin metal bracelets or watches. They’re very cheap and can often be bought in sets.

Rubber wristbands

Rubber wristbands tend to be more common among a younger crowd and are strictly informal. The most recognised rubber wristbands are those produced by Livestrong – such bands are typically worn to show support for a cause. Bands and musical artists also occasionally sell wristbands as merchandise. You can even customise your own bracelet.

Rubber wristbands can be worn with rope bracelets, watches and metal bracelets.
