Silver Bracelets

Out of all the men’s jewelry available out there, the bracelet may well be the least popular of them all in western culture. But we're not sure why. It's an easy thing to throw on and make a big impact on your look. You'd think an accessory with such small stature would be a blink-and-you'll miss it flex, but trust us—when you pull one of these bracelets on, people notice.

The perfect place to start? A silver chain-link bracelet. It's simple and subtle, versatile enough to go with everything in your wardrobe and can be worn solo or stacked with a watch without any problems. What's more, there's not a myriad of options when it comes to the brands to buy. To help make it easy on you, we tried on over a dozen in a range of price points to bring you the three best options for your money, no matter your budget.

A Surprisingly Good Value

+ Handcrafted in Italy

+ Polished sterling silver

+ The links are hollow, which keeps the price down and makes for a more lightweight bracelet

+ Despite the low cost, it retains a shine and is in great shape after months of daily wear

+ Intersecting clasp-like links that interconnect seamlessly

+ 925 sterling silver with polished rhodium plating

The Upgrade

+ Made in United States

+ Solid polished sterling silver has a luxurious, weighty feel on the wrist

+ Unique oversized links feature multiple clasps joined with oval rings

+ Multiple clasps allow you to customize the sizing

It’s time I start using an eye cream. What’s your recommendation for a good one that doesn’t break the bank?

The eyes can be an easy age giveaway. If you want to look rested and refreshed, then a hydrating and brightening eye cream is a smart move. And one of the best and most-recommended creams out there is this one from Kiehl’s. It’s packed with avocado oil, shea butter, along with beta-carotene and natural amino acids that not only moisturize and help smooth fine lines, but combat puffiness and darkness, too. And right now, you can use this code to get 25% off, making it even more reasonably priced.

You know that J.Crew makes great denim shirts. And they just keep making better and better versions. Their latest take? A version of their vintage-inspired “Giant shirt” ($98), cut from soft denim with a five-year wash. It's dyed with real indigo, and designed to look better and gently fade over time, the more you wear it.

Drops to
Watch For

Mattel Creations‘ Hot Wheels and creative studio MSCHF have teamed up for the “Not Wheels” vehicle. The tiny toy car is a nostalgic nod to the well-worn, beat-up rides many drivers start their journeys with. This latest creation is anything but ordinary, capturing the charm of a heavily used car from the early 1990s Japanese import scene.
