Why Cuff Bracelets Are Dominating 2025
The trend surged after dramatic runway showcases by Chloé, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Saint Laurent, Hermès and Balmain. Designers used bold metals, sculptural silhouettes and eye-catching textures to elevate their Spring/Summer 2025 looks, proving just how versatile a cuff can be. In Bangkok’s own jewellery districts, from Silom to Charoen Krung, local designers are now creating their own interpretations, often mixing gold-plated brass, textured silver, handcrafted resin and stone-studded finishes to appeal to the city’s love of unique accessories.
Part of the appeal is how easily a cuff transforms an outfit. Slip a wide brass or gold cuff over a crisp shirt and even basic workwear becomes editorial-ready. Stack multiple cuffs in mixed metals for a curated, high-low combination.

Stacking remains popular, especially among those who enjoy mixing textures like hammered brass with polished chrome. And the most daring trend—placing cuffs over long blouse sleeves—has recently become a favourite for winter travel looks and special evening events.
