Bangle bracelets are a classic piece of jewellery that have been worn for centuries. Bangles are typically made of metal, such as gold bangles, silver bangles, or white gold bangles, and are worn around the wrist. They can be simple and minimalist, or adorned with intricate designs and embellishments. One of the best things about bangle bracelets is that they can be worn with a wide variety of outfits, from casual to formal. They can also be stacked together to create a more layered and bohemian look.
Bangle bracelets are also a great option for those who have sensitive skin or allergies to certain metals, as they can be made from a variety of materials, including plastic, wood, and even glass.
Another great aspect of bangle bracelets is that they come in a wide variety of sizes and styles, so it's easy to find one that suits your personal taste and style. Some popular styles include the traditional solid bangle, the cuff bangle with an open end, and the flexible bangle that can be adjusted to fit any wrist size, including small wrists.
Whether you're looking for a simple and timeless piece of jewellery or something a little more bold and unique, there's sure to be a bangle bracelet out there that's perfect for you. So, go ahead, and stack them up to give a complete and elegant look. We’ve rounded up some hot tips and tricks about how to wear bangle bracelets and style them to create a fashionable look.

How To Wear Bangle Bracelets
Stack it Up - Layer Bangles for a Curated Look
Stacking bangles is a fun and trendy way to accessorise your wrists. It's all about layering different bangles of varying sizes, textures, and colours to create a unique and personalised look. One popular way to stack bangles is to mix and match different metals, such as gold, sterling silver, and rose gold bangles. This creates a stylish and modern contrast that can be worn with any outfit. You can even incorperate diamond bangles to add a touch of sparkle.
Another popular way to stack bangles is to mix different textures and materials. This can include combining a smooth metal bangle with a textured one, or layering a beaded bangle with a metal one. This gives a bohemian and layered look which is very much in trend. You can also play with colours to create a fun and eye-catching look. Stack bangles in different shades of the same colour, or mix and match bold colours for a more dramatic effect.
When it comes to stacking bangles, the possibilities are endless. The key is to have fun and experiment with different combinations until you find the perfect stack for you. If you have a small wrist, you may want to stick to dainty pieces so as not to overwhelm the look.

Go Bold with Bright Colours and Fun Designs
When it comes to styling brightly coloured bangles, the options are endless. You can mix and match different colours and materials to create a fun and playful look or pair them with a monochrome outfit for bold and striking contrast.
One popular option for brightly coloured bangles is enamel bangles. Enamel is a type of glass-like material that is applied to metal to create a smooth and glossy finish. It comes in a wide range of colours, from classic pastels to bold and bright hues, making it a versatile choice for any style.
Another way to rock a pop of colour is by incorporating gemstones into your bangle jewellery for an elegant, classy and timeless look. Enjoy the dreamy hues of amethyst, the vivid tones of emerald or the divine hues of ruby against a gold or silver backdrop. Incorporating gemstones into your bangle look will let you choose different styles such as bohemian or vintage.
Wear Various Gold Bangles to Embrace Luxury

How Should a Bangle Fit?
One of the most common problems people have with bangles is that they find them uncomfortable. This issue generally occurs when people wear ill-fitting bangles that are the wrong size. Each person will have different preferences about how a bangle should fit on their wrist so it’s important that you try on different pieces to see what works for you.
To measure your wrist size:
- Wrap a flexible tape measure around the wrist so that it fits snuggly without feeling too loose or too tight.
- Mark where the tape measure overlaps: this is the wrist size.
To measure your hand size:
- To measure your hand, position it as though you are putting on a bangle with the thumb and fingertips together in a pinch.
- Wrap the measuring tape around the knuckles including the thumb.
- The measurement where the tape measure overlaps is your hand/bangle size.
What Size Bangle Do I Need?
A bangle is essentially an inflexible or rigid bracelet that you slide over your wrist on hand to take it off and on. There are various types of bangle, and each will likely fit differently.
Hinged Bangles: have an opening on a hinge that allows you to wear them very easily. You can open the hinge, and clasp the bangle snug around your wrist. Generally, you should add 2.5cm to your wrist measurement to find a comfortable fit. If you prefer your bangles looser, you can add 3cm to your wrist size.

Closed Bangles: are probably the type of bangle that you see most often. They are best selected based on your hand size, and should be snug, yet comfortable to take off and on. You’ll want to make sure that the bangle isn’t so big that it will be prone to falling off your wrist (especially if you have a small wrist), and on the other hand, you don’t want it so tight that it is painful to wear.

How Many Bracelets Should You Wear?
You can wear as many bangles as you like, the choice is entirely yours. If you are going for a more minimalistic aesthetic, then you may choose to only wear one or two bangles, whereas a bohemian or y2k look will call for anywhere between 3-5 on each wrist. For those with small wrists, you may want to stick to 2-3 bangles, this way the look won’t be too overbearing.
What is the Correct Hand to Wear a Bracelet?
Many choose to wear bangles on their non-dominant hand. Because bangles have a rigid shape, they can sometimes get in the way with activity. By wearing bracelets on your non-dominant hand, you can avoid additional wear and tear.
To really embrace the maximalist style, you can wear bangles on both wrists! There is no right or wrong way to wear bangles, the most important thing is that you feel confident and comfortable. You can also explore our bangles on sale to find yourself the perfect fit at a fraction of the price.
