How to choose a bracelet?

In precious metal or not, adorned with pearls, rhinestones, and beautiful stones, the choice of a bracelet constitutes a privileged fashion accessory for both women and men. That said, given the changing trends, it is difficult to make a firm choice on which model to buy. To help you, here are our few recommendations for choosing the right bracelet.

What types of bracelets to choose?

During the selection of earrings, the type of bracelets to choose must also take into account the morphology of each one. Here, it will be a question of measuring the wrist to buy an almost tailor-made item (neither too small nor too wide).

In addition, we also advise you not to go against the nature of your body. If you have rounded shapes, avoid thin bracelets that would go unnoticed on you. Instead, choose bulky accessories such as evil eye bracelets or bangles. Failing that, you can always bet on the colored variations with attractive and warm shades such as red for example.

If, on the contrary, your wrist is thin, minimalist bracelets will make better alternatives. The fine multi-row chains are part of the timeless models and are to be favored in your choice. You can choose the simple, embellished with pearls or rhinestones, or with pendants of all kinds.

Choose a men's bracelet

Men are much prettier than you might think. They pay just as much attention to their appearance as women. Also, the modern man accessorizes his outfits more. And among the jewels that won the hearts of these gentlemen, men also choose bracelets for their handles. But it is still necessary to know how to show discernment to avoid flop during the selection.

If metal bracelets with the engraved first name were very common among men, the trend has changed a lot now. These models are sometimes considered offbeat and out of time. The trend today is for leather straps. As a cuff, multirow, or single cord, leather is a noble material that gives authenticity to your look.

That said, if you have a preference for metal bracelets, aged steel will make a choice piece in your collection. Regarding the design, a bangle or a mesh model will give you a chic and elegant look.

In terms of color, sobriety is essential: black, brown, or gray. But if you want to indulge in fantasy, gold can be a bold choice, but it will certainly earn you the compliment of some of your entourage.

Choose a bracelet for women

There are as many models of bracelets for women as there are tastes. The choice for women's bracelets is very wide and varied. The important thing is to be true to yourself without leaving aside the morphological criterion. The size of the jewel in question will have a direct influence on the effect it will have on you. Keep in mind that such an accessory was first designed to show you off.

If you have an average size, opt for bracelets that are neither too big nor too thin. Charm bracelets will suit you. They also have the advantage of being customizable as desired. However, be careful not to overload them with charms. The port could quickly become uncomfortable.

Bead or semi-precious stone bracelets also make good candidates, especially when combined with these evil eye necklaces. Their measurements do not exceed 1 cm. In the case of a thin wrist, discreet chains and rushes remain the best alternatives. If you rather have a few curves, bet on the headlines. They are sure to get noticed by those around you.

What material for a bracelet?

What makes all the beauty of the field of jewelry is the plurality of basic materials that will give life to the final accessory. Between precious metal, leather, and bone or animal horns, the choice is wide. The question to ask is then: which bracelet material will last the longest?

Of course, we will tend to answer you with gold, silver, stainless steel, or titanium. However, such models do not cost candy. You will be able to afford them very rarely and even then you will only use them for special occasions.

For everyday life, we tend to recommend more accessible versions, but of appreciable quality. Stainless steel, leather, pearls, and rhinestones have affordable prices without failing you after only a few days of use.

Cheap items are made of plastic. Although they are resistant and do not fear humidity, their aesthetics sometimes leave something to be desired. Unless you find a model that stands out, their interest remains less.

In short, it is up to you to choose the material according to your needs, your tastes, and your budget.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows.
