I don't wear any jewelry myself except a watch, but how could you guys say that the following bracelets would look weird on a man: John Hardy: http://www.johnhardy.com/productSear...ts&segment=Men Konstantino: http://www.konstantinotreasures.com/...ions/mens.html (Especially the Hercules collection by Konstantino, holy mother of moly. Hardly anyone is aware of Konstantino.) ... If you can't tell I was inspired by the other bracelet thread. On the right dude, with the right look, I'd venture to say you could create one epic look for yourself, barring of course that you don't overdo it.

I suspect you're a complete dick.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with men waring bracelets - I do - but neither of these look good. I would prefer and recommend metal bracelets for men. A nice silver one for example.

Isn't there a web forum designed by and for homosexuals that you can post this sort of thing on? Please not here.

So just making sure I'm understanding this clearly. You're saying inherently a bracelet, no matter what it looks like, it can never be even remotely masculine, ever?

I would never be so bold. What I am saying is the statistical likelyhood of such an event is so small as to be approximated to zero.

Whilst the ones posted look pretty awful I have seen men wear bracelets and look fine. Its been a while since I looked in WAYWN but I think PhatGuido wears bracelets sometimes, and he is generally acknowledged to dress pretty well.

As others have said - plenty of people can pull them off well (PG / SP). I have a few. Would never dream of wearing anything which isn't leather or beads. I pick up some interesting ones from India whenever I go.

Each to their own in this respect. It's not like they're anything offensive like a square toe shoe right? :p
