8) TIPS FOR WEARING BRACELETS

1) Metal bracelets are rather attention-grabbing, so they are best worn on their own without your watch. You do not want them to ruin your watch, either.

2) If you are wearing a metal bracelet, skip the cufflinks to avoid a metal overkill.

3) With heavier chunky bracelets, steer clear of ones in gold which can look a little too "gangsta".

4) While you can wear a few bracelets together, avoid doing this in a formal setting.

When it comes to stacking bracelets, you can wear more of them together if they are all thin.
