If, like me, you're looking to elevate your summer outfits effortlessly whilst staying true to your style, may I suggest a cuff? Jewellery is inherently personal; no two people wear it in the same way, and your collection becomes a signature of your style. A cuff bracelet, in particular, adds a distinct touch—whether worn over a sleeve or directly on skin, it brings instant polish to any outfit without detracting from the rest of your look. That’s why I’m thrilled that the cuff trend is having a revival this year.
Sure, the cuff bracelet is a classic piece, but it's having a resurgence recently for two reasons. Firstly, the boho reinvention. Over the past year, we’ve seen boho fashion take off again, largely thanks to Chloé, and with it have come accessory trends such as clogs, pendants, and, you guessed it, cuffs. On the flip side, quiet luxury has also had a hand in the trend, with designers whose aesthetics favour minimal, sleek pieces leading the pack.
These two fashion identities–boho and minimalist—couldn't be further apart in terms of prints, shapes, fabrics and colours, yet both seem to love a cuff. And it doesn’t stop there; the cuff bracelet will continue into autumn/winter 2025, with many designers—from Altuzarra to Alighieri—presenting their collections of cuff-weighted arms.
Of course, we can't talk about cuff bracelets without nodding to Elsa Peretti’s iconic Bone Cuff for Tiffany & Co. Designed in the 1970s, its fluid, ergonomic form hugs the wrist like a second skin, resulting in a seamless yet beautiful piece of art for your wrist. So, whilst cuffs might be bang on trend right now, they’re certainly not fleeting. No matter what style you go for, you can be sure that it will become a classic piece in your collection.
