HOW TO STACK BRACELETS: A GUIDE FOR MEN

Stacking bracelets is a great way to add personality and depth to your look. It’s all about balance — mixing textures, materials, and styles to create something unique without going overboard.

Here’s how you nail it.

1. START WITH YOUR STATEMENT

This could be a bold chain, a brightly-coloured nylon cord, or a beaded bracelet. It’ll act as the anchor for your stack. The rest of your bracelets should complement this piece but never take attention away from it.

2. MIX MATERIALS AND TEXTURES

Combine different materials like leather, beads, metal, and paracord for a dynamic look. Mixing textures – like smooth metal with rugged leather – creates contrast and variety.

3. KEEP YOUR COLOURS IN CHECK

Neutrals like black, brown, grey, and silver are safe bets and give you room to play with different styles.

Feeling adventurous? Add a pop of colour with a single bracelet. Just make sure it ties into the rest of your outfit.

4. VARY THICKNESS, NOT SIZE

Pair a thicker bracelet with thinner ones to create balance. Avoid stacking bracelets of different lengths together – the shorter ones will tuck under the longer ones and break your stack.

5. KEEP YOUR NUMBER REASONABLE

Avoid stacking multiple thick bracelets together. If you’re stacking thin cord bracelets, feel free to add more. Rule of thumb: your stack shouldn’t cover more than a quarter of your forearm.

6. STICK TO STACKING ON 1 WRIST

This creates a focal point without cluttering your look. If you’re wearing a watch, however, you can stack a slimmer bracelet with it for a cohesive wrist game. Just make sure the bracelets are subtle enough not to outshine the watch.

7. MATCH THE STACK TO YOUR OUTFIT

For casual outfits like jeans and a T-shirt, go for a relaxed stack with leather, beaded, or paracord bracelets. For more formal occasions, stick to subtle metal or thinner leather pieces. Don’t be afraid to experiment, but make sure the vibe fits the occasion.

8. CONFIDENCE IS KEY

There are no strict rules – just guidelines. Wear your stack with confidence, and it’ll elevate your look, no matter how you style it. Anything goes with confidence.

Chain bracelets add texture and shine without overwhelming your look. They pair well with leather or beaded pieces for a balanced mix.

Avoid using too many thick chains, as they can feel bulky. Stick to one chain for a sleek, versatile stack.

Beaded bracelets offer a mix of colour and texture. They pair effortlessly with leather, chains, or metal pieces, adding a laid-back, earthy vibe.

Avoid overloading with too many large beads, as it can make the stack feel bulky. Mix sizes for a balanced, relaxed look.

Bangle bracelets are bold, adding structure and shine to your wrist. Their rigid design creates a striking contrast with softer materials like leather or beads.

Avoid stacking too many bangles, as they can feel clunky—stick to one or two for a sleek, polished look.

Leather bracelets bring a rugged, textured element to your wrist. They pair well with metal, beads, or chains, adding depth to casual outfits.

Avoid stacking too many thick leather pieces, as it can feel bulky. Mix thinner styles for a balanced, layered look.

Cord and weave bracelets give a lightweight and sporty feel. Their durable, textured design pairs well with leather, metal, or beads for a casual, adventurous vibe.

Avoid stacking too many bulky weaves, as it can look too busy. Mix in thinner cords for a clean, balanced style.

Stacking a watch with a thin bracelet does two things:

1. It adds a layer that breaks up the design of your watch, adding depth to you look.
2. It shields the back of your hand from the crown of your watch.

A sleek chain, leather, or beaded bracelet complements the watch and creates a layered, polished look.

Keep the bracelet thin to avoid distracting from the watch, and stick to the same metal and a complementary colour palette for a cohesive finish.

It's a simple way to upgrade your wrist game and set you apart from the crowd.

Avoid wearing more than two bracelets with your watch. It might look messy. Avoid metal bracelets like a chains or a cables as they may scratch the case of your watch.

Pair a thin bracelet with your watch for a sleek, balanced look. Match the bracelet’s colour to the watch for a cohesive vibe.

Don’t drown the watch in multiple bracelets; one or two is plenty. Avoid metal or loose-fit bracelets to prevent scratching.

The easiest way to get the benefits of a stellar bracelet stack is to buy a bundle or set of two or more bracelets.

Another option is to get bracelets featuring multiple weaves or strands of different materials attached to a single lock.

You’ll get all the benefits of a next-level stacked look with none of the guesswork.
