If you’re ready to make a major flex in 2022, check out the return of the bicep bracelet. This bold piece of jewelry evokes thoughts of the early 2000s, just like so many other trends this year.
In a sea of Y2K references right now, the bicep bracelet stands out. It also harkens back to the aesthetic of Greco-Roman warriors. Its placement on the arm brings focus to the bicep and shows off a feeling of strength and power, along with beauty.
Upper Arm Candy: Armlet, Arm Band, Cuff, or Armlet Bracelet
Some people simply like the fact that this is a tamer version of an upper arm tattoo, while others just like the statement it makes. You can go as bold or as simple as you want or even get more creative by wearing it over a long-sleeved button down shirt.
You’ll find this new version referred to as an armlet, arm band, cuff bracelet or armlet bracelet. As they are just beginning to hit the market, you may get lucky and find exactly what you are looking for. But if not, don’t hesitate to shimmy a regular cuff bracelet up your arm.
Check out options that have been spotted on runways:
- Simple thin and open bracelet
- A textured or hammered wide cuff
- Multiple bands that crisscross
- Something with floral or leafy patterns just in time for spring
- A piece that snakes around the arm
- Armlets that are simple and adorned with the brand’s logo
- A leather belt buckle look
Your new bicep bracelet (or even a repurposed regular cuff) will be a fun way to flex your individuality during these warm-weather months ahead. Enjoy this new trend!
