How to Wear Bracelets as a Guy (and What NOT To Do)
About this video
McGoff provides a comprehensive guide to men’s bracelets, covering multiple popular styles including metal cuffs, metal chains, leather wraps, rope bracelets, nautical bracelets, and beaded bracelets. He discusses the pros and cons of each style, addresses frequently asked questions about stacking and wearing bracelets with watches, and recommends starting with affordable options to test different styles before investing in higher-end pieces.
Key takeaways
- McGoff argues that metal cuffs and metal chains are the most versatile foundational bracelet styles, though metal bracelets should not be worn on the same wrist as a metal watch to avoid scratching
- McGoff recommends wearing two to three bracelets maximum and mixing materials (leather with metal, rope with beaded) rather than stacking the same material together
- McGoff suggests ignoring the outdated menswear rule about matching metal tones—gold and silver can be mixed freely across accessories
- McGoff recommends starting with affordable bracelet options from retailers like Amazon or Etsy to test different styles before upgrading to higher-end brands like Miansai, John Hardy, or Cartier
