Statement bracelets were all over the spring/summer 2025 runways, from the oversized cuffs at Alaïa, Saint Laurent and Schiaparelli to the sculptural designs at Chanel, Gucci and Alexander McQueen. But while chunky creations may have dominated the catwalks, over on the pavements, the street-style set championed a whole jewellery box-worth of trends – from colourful beads to boho-inspired bangles. Below, see the bracelet styles to invest in this spring.
Link bracelets
They’re a classic – and for good reason. Combining a certain sturdiness with a sense of elegance, link bracelets immediately draw attention to our wrists. For spring/summer 2025, mixed-metal iterations in silver and gold are proving to be particularly popular.
Ladylike pearls
Another enduring style is, of course, the pearl bracelet. Adding a ladylike feel to any outfit, there are plenty of options out there, whether vintage or new – that’s if you haven’t already raided your grandmother’s jewellery box.
Boho bangles
It’s no surprise that the bangle is seeing a comeback, given the return of boho fashion (largely spearheaded by Chemena Kamali at Chloé). The best thing about the style? Its versatility means it can be worn everywhere, from the office to the beach.
Oversized cuffs
For those who want to make a statement with their wristwear, look no further than the oversized cuff. Take inspiration from the runways with a sculptural style that will quickly elevate any outfit.
Charm bracelets
Pandora charm bracelets were all the rage for those of us who grew up in the ’90s and Noughties – but they’ve found a new audience of late, thanks to (as with so many things trend-related these days) TikTok. From Chopova Lowena to Marc Jacobs, embrace fashion’s nostalgic mood via your wrist.
Coloured beads
Another bracelet trend originating from the school playground? Coloured beads, which have enjoyed a resurgence thanks to brands like Anni Lu, Carolina Bucci and Sydney Evan.
Geometric bracelets
Continuing with the retro theme, geometric bracelets – both in wood and resin – are also making a comeback this season, as seen at the likes of Victoria Beckham and Saint Laurent. We’re wearing ours in stacks of three.
