Feeling like you’re too tired to be bothered dressing up for work? We hear you; we’ve been there too, which is why we’re all about adding a bit of affordable bracelet bling to our daily looks. It’s one of the easiest what to add personality and style to a basic workwear outfit.
Here are some of our favourite bracelets and bangles that will just slip easily into your wardrobe.
Delicate silver bracelets can look great on everyone
We’re all fans of elegant, delicate jewellery you can wear every day like these sterling silver bracelets from Thomas Sabo. The Glam & Soul Together Forever bracelet, $189; the Together Forever Heart bracelet, $179; and the Glam & Soul X bracelet, $149, look great together especially. Thomas Sabo has a bunch of fab bracelets actually, in silver and gold, or its iconic bead versions.

Layer up with pretty colourful bracelets for work
We have an abiding love for the jewellery by Monica Vinader, which is why we’re perfectly happy to suggest you get your hands on as many of these Fiji Friendship bracelets, $260 each, in as many colours as you wish to wear. Layer them up on both arms for a fabulous pop of colour for your workwear look; every time you catch them in your eye you’ll smile for sure.

Wear an inspiring quote on your wrist
We’re all in favour of taking time to ‘breathe’, ‘dream’, or ‘love’ which is why these simple but pretty Kikki.K Inspiration bangles, $39.90 each, in silver, gold or pink gold are perfect to wear to work on a daily basis. Although Kikki.K is best known for its awesome stationary, they do have some great pieces like these bangles and as well as desk items and even candles and coffee cups. We love these bangles best; you can wear them altogether or pick and choose depending on what kind of inspiration you need on the day.
Kikki.K is located at ION Orchard, B2-53, 2 Orchard Turn, Singapore, 238801. For the complete list of stores, go to www.kikki-k.com/stores.
Go big or go home with these gold bangles
If you’re looking to splash out on some jewellery that will last forever, then you need to check out these two fabulous styles of bangles from Niessing. The Colette bangles are coils of different types of gold, and are available in single, double or triple coils depending on how bling you want to go. If making a solid statement is more your personal style in the office, then you need a pair of the Niessing Nuova bangles … Why not go all Wonder Woman at work? After all, we know all women are wonderful.
The Niessing boutique is located at #01-10, Scotts Square, 6 Scotts Road, Singapore 228209. Niessing is also available at Lee Hwa Jewellery boutiques; for a complete list of stores, go to leehwajewellery.com/boutiques.
Mix colour and pink gold for a feminine bracelet look at work
OK, yes, here’s some more awesome pieces from Monica Vinader. The Baja Deco small cuff with Labradorite, $410, and Baja Deco bracelet with Labradorite, $335, match perfectly with the Linear Bead Friendship bracelets, $260 each, for a fun, soft feminine look to wear to work.

Pile on bracelets with beads and leather for a natural vibe
We were pleasantly surprised to discover these lovely bracelets from Fossil. The Silver and Semi-precious stone double chain bracelet, $38, and the Glitz and leather bracelet, $38, are super affordable but look super luxe when you layer them up. Go on, snap up a bunch of these and wear them on both wrists.
Fossil is located at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, #B2-90A/B 2 Bayfront Avenue, tel. 6688 7268. For a complete list of stores, go to www.fossil-asia.com/store-locator.
Wear bracelets with semi-precious stones for good vibes
Sometimes we need a little bit of extra support to fight the good fight every day, right? I’m a big believer in the power of stones and crystals – even if it’s just psychological 😉 These Linear Stone Friendship bracelets from Monica Vinader in Dumortierite, $220, Amazonite, $335, and Turquoise, $410, can help (maybe) help you through the day. Dumortierite is apparently the the Stone of Patience, opening the doors of insight and possibly even telepathy! Amazonite is supposed to help with physical ailments, emotional issues and can heal traumas, and sooth energies in the home and the workplace. Turquoise is apparently the symbol of friendship and can bring peace to the home or the office, as well as being useful for balance, wisdom and truth – which let’s face it, we all need, all the time, right?

Mix it up & layer on the crystals and pearls with these fun bracelets
We all know that Swarovski is the maker of the best crystals in the world, but what many people don’t realise is that the brand makes really, really pretty jewellery. The bracelets from the new Swarovski Remix Collection have been designed to be mixed ‘n’ matched thanks to their innovative magnetic clasps so you can create hundreds of different combinations depending on which ones you buy. There are so many to chose from, but they’re all $75 each, so you really can layer on crystals and pearls and metal to your heart’s content.
Swarovski is located at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, #B2-88, 2 Bayfront Avenue, tel. 6688 7225. For a complete list of Swarovski boutiques, go to www.swarovski.com/boutiquefinder
Add a masculine twist with dark stone bracelets
We really love a contrast when we put together a look. Adding some jewellery with simple lines and darker colours like the Monica Vinader Linear Stone Friendship bracelet in snowflake obsidian, $220, and the Linear Men’s Friendship bracelet in steel grey, $220, adds a masculine touch to even your most girly outfit.

The more bling, the better the bracelet
Some of us are a bit like magpies; anything shiny makes it into our wardrobes. Now while you might not be able to indulge in a party dress in the office, there’s no reason why you can’t add as much bling as you can with your accessories. That’s why these Swarovski bracelets from the brand’s Remix collection are so fun; at $79 each you can go as #blingbling as you want.

GUYS CAN WEAR BRACELETS TOO
There’s no reason why men can’t add a touch of personality to their work looks with accessories like bracelets. Of course, it depends a bit on where you work, but if you do it right, there is no reason why you can’t get away with it.
Rugged leather bracelets for a casual workplace
If you work in a more creative environment then there’s no reason why you can’t add a touch of personality to your look with some leather bracelets by these super cool, and really affordable pieces from Fossil.
