Founder & Creative Director of Men's Style Pro, Sabir has…
You’ve become a #menswear enthusiast. Dub monks, working on your “steez” and unlined tweed patch pocket blazers have become important to you. One thing that you’ve been looking to perfect is how to rock wrist man jewelry like all the Italian cats you’ve seen on Tumblr crushing the wall at Pitti Uomo (yeah, I saw these dudes in person and they pull it off flawlessly).
To be completely honest, there are only a few “rules” that you’ll need to follow to pull of the bracelet look without going overboard. Below are two looks to give you an idea of what may or may not work for you when rocking bracelets. All three bracelets in the feature are from Degs & Sal, a New York based, handmade jewelry maker.
Style Tips for Rockin Man Bracelet:
- Avoid crazy amounts of bracelets on one arm. Overstacking is what the young guys get wrong immediately. If your bracelets are stacked to the middle of your forearm, you’ve lost this style battle.
- Optional: You should only wear bracelets on the hand that you don’t write with.
- Bracelets complement your watch well, so pair them together accordingly.
- Size Matters! If your watch is on the chunky side, you’ll have the option of rocking a thicker bracelets and smaller beaded bracelets.
- Conversely, if your watch is thin, stick to thinner bracelets to complement it. You don’t want to overpower your thin watch with some monstrous beads.
- Solid metal bracelets look the best as a solo piece, so wear that bracelet on your free hand (non-watch hand). Think railroad spike.
- For the style novice, save the bracelets for casual wear. Once you feel like you’ve got the cojonoes to pull of the suit and bracelet look, the force is officially with you my son!

Do not order from these jokers Degs and Sal! I placed an order on July 24th, from their online store, waited about two weeks, still had not received the item so contacted them and they told me it had been shipped but and I quote “Once it is shipped out, it is no longer in our ability to further ensure it arrives as planned.” Waited a few more days, still didn’t arrive, so asked for a refund. Still waiting on that! The latest from one of the co-founders. Apparently they are all about customer satisfaction. What a joke! “Here at Degs & Sal we’re all about customer satisfaction, I saw the negative comments you posted on The Fancy and Facebook if you can take those comments down I will be happy to send out your replacement item first thing in the morning.” “I am trying to satisfy you but your aren’t being compliant.”
Hey Steve,
I’m sorry to hear about your experience with them. I will reach out to them for you too.
Best,
Sabir
I’ve joined the bandwagon already. I bought mine off of etsy. shady lady jewelry has sweet bracelets for guys. Also nordstroms seems to carry a bunch of different styles too. Going with a black bracelet and black watch is how I rock it.

Pendants were certainly ubiquitous, adorning and accentuating rockabilly
clothing fashions. Some common styles included cute cartoon-y pictures
ruby jewellry
nice life style…
WOW!! Unique collection and lovely design actually I was looking for
Mens luxury accessories gift for my friends but found better thing than that.
Incredibly lovely accessories, well designed. The semi-precious stones these bracelets are made out of would match perfectly with the stained glass-like dial of semi-precious stones on this watch: http://bit.ly/americana-brillier
