HOW SHOULD A BRACELET FIT?
How a bracelet should fit is as much up to you as by its design. Traditional bangle bracelets are meant to be slipped over the hand, so their loose fit is by design. Leather cuffs are as much for wrist support as they are for rugged looks, so those are usually worn tight.
But how they should be worn and how you choose to wear them are two very different things. More on that later. For now, let’s dive into the world of men’s bracelets and find your perfect fit.
HOW TO FIND THE PERFECT FITTING BRACELET?
- Measure the circumference of your wrist.
- Decide whether you want the bracelet to be a tight, normal, or loose fit.
- Choose your design (the design affects the fit).
- Check size guide on the product page to see what size you need for the fit you want based on the circumference of your wrist.
- When you receive your bracelet, try it on before removing any of the packaging to ensure it fits as desired.
If it doesn’t, return it for a bigger or smaller size.
1. MEASURE YOUR WRIST
The “no tape measure” method.
- Take a string or piece of paper
- Wrap it around your wrist
- Mark the overlap with a pen
- Unwrap the string and measure the distance between the marks – the result is your wrist’s circumference (EU size)
The average man's wrist is 7” (18 cm).
2. CHOOSE YOUR FIT
Tight fit - add 0.6 cm to 1.2 cm to your wrist circumference
Normal fit - add 1.3 cm to 1.9 cm to your wrist circumference
Loose fit - add 2.0 cm to 2.5 cm to your wrist circumference
3. CHOOSE YOUR DESIGN
BEADED BRACELETS

Beaded bracelets tend to be worn slightly loose, with enough give to move around your wrist but not so much that they dangle. Most come in stretchy, one-size-fits-all designs, though some have adjustable cords or clasps to fit different wrist sizes. The relaxed fit gives them a casual, easy-going vibe.
Beaded bracelets are perfect for stacking. Read our guide to creating the perfect bracelet stack here.

BANGLE BRACELETS
Bangles are usually worn loose enough to slide a little on the wrist but not slip off. They’re typically a fixed size, so finding the right fit is essential for comfort. One-size-fits-all bangles exist, but they can sometimes be tricky to get on if they don’t match your hand size.

LEATHER CUFF BRACELETS

Leather cuff bracelets are bold, rugged, and make a strong statement. They’re typically worn snug to the wrist, creating a sleek and structured look. Most come in sized options, but many feature adjustable snaps or buckles for a more personalised fit.
These cuffs pair well with denim, boots, and flannel for a tough, masculine vibe. You can wear them solo or with other leather pieces for a layered, adventurous style. Because leather ages beautifully, a well-worn cuff only gets better over time, adding character and depth to your look.

LEATHER BRACELETS
Leather bracelets can be worn either snug or loose, depending on the style. Braided and wrap-around designs often have adjustable clasps, making them one-size-fits-all. Plain leather cuffs may come in sized options.
For a more rugged look, wear them a little looser; for a sharper feel, go for a snug fit that stays close to the wrist.

4. PICK THE RIGHT SIZE
Each type of bracelet has its own “recomended” wearing style. Never let that define how you wear it, though.
The sketch below shows how an average length chain bracelet would look on different-sized wrists.
The first thing you’ll need to do is measure your wrist where you want the bracelet to be.
Then find the bracelet you want and use the size guide on the page (right above the size selector) to pick the right size for your desired fit based on the circumference of your wrist.
5. TRY IT ON
When you receive your bracelet, make sure to try it on as well as you can before removing the packaging (just in case you need to exchange it for a different size).
Never wear a bracelet so tightly that it cuts off circulation to your hand. A tingling sensation in your fingertips or paleness under your fingernails after prolonged wear are signs circulation is being restricted.
