Men's Leather Bracelet: Styles, Sizing and Care

The leather bracelet is the best piece to start with. Casual, masculine, it goes with everything and never draws a second look. Here are the styles, how to pick your size, and how to care for leather so it lasts.

Leather bracelet styles

• Braided leather: supple and textured, one of the most worn styles. Understated and easy to wear.
• The simple leather bangle: a thin strap, the most minimalist option.
• The anchor clasp or steel clasp model: leather paired with a metal piece for more character.
• The multi-strand: several straps combined, for a bolder look.

Find all these styles in our men's leather bracelet collection.

Why it's the right first piece

Leather is neutral and warm. It blends into any outfit without drawing attention, making it the ideal piece for a man who's just starting out and is wary of others' looks. You forget it's on your wrist, and it quickly becomes a habit. To go further, read our guide to a man's first piece of jewelry.

What wrist size

Measure your wrist with a string, just below the bone, then add 1 to 2 cm depending on whether you prefer a snug or a looser fit. Many models feature an adjustable clasp with several notches, handy for fine-tuning the fit.

How to care for leather

Leather doesn't like prolonged water exposure. Avoid the shower and the pool, wipe it down if it gets caught in the rain, and let it air dry away from any heat source. From time to time, a leather lotion or balm nourishes the material and extends its life. Well cared for, a leather bracelet develops a beautiful patina over time.

The clasp, the detail that matters

Fine leather deserves a clasp that won't rust. Our models use stainless steel for the metal parts: hypoallergenic and hard wearing, it won't turn green or stain the leather. See also the full men's bracelet collection.
