Every guy deserves a bit of arm candy — the kind that says refined taste, not midlife crisis at sea. The right mix of wrist accoutrement is a timeless way to showcase personal style and quiet confidence. While there’s no strict rulebook for stacking your wrist game, there are a few guiding principles that separate the well-styled from the overly adorned. Think balance, texture, and intention — because when done right, your wrist should tell a story, not look like it’s auditioning for a treasure map.
The feature pieces here are from one of my favorite jewelry brands – Lagos (from a recent social media campaign that we worked on together).

As someone who wears a watch daily — along with a few wrist pieces and rings — I know it can feel tricky to pull it all together without tipping into “overly eccentric” territory. That’s why I keep it simple.
- On my watch side, I keep things simple — just two bracelets. Typically, one is fabric for a bit of texture, and the other is metal to add contrast and structure. On my non-watch side, I’ll go up to three bracelets, usually anchored by a flipped metal cuff to ground the look.
- When it comes to stacking, size plays a major role. For me, keeping the pieces smaller just makes sense. Oversize beaded bracelets and massive cuffs seem bold, but more often than not, they veer into the comical rather than confident.
- And before you load up your wrists, take stock of your outfit. Are you in long sleeves or short? When I’m wearing long sleeves, I typically keep my watch side stacked and limit the other wrist to a single, subtle piece. It’s all about proportion — knowing when to show restraint makes the details stand out even more.
The video (see below) from my Instagram breaks The Art Of Wrist Stacking down in a concise way.
