    Looking back on little history, bracelets originally became a part of Indian tradition. As in many places the number and type of bangles worn by a woman denote her marital status.

    5)Sports Bracelet

    Ah here they come! A.k.a wristbands. The ones I was talking bout in the start. These rubber or cloth wristbands shout out loud, “cool”. The particular favorite of crazy fan girls who want to show their loyalty towards their boy band singers to the world. Not just bands but even brands like Nike etc. These bands make a statement and people religiously wear it everyday. Fortunately it goes with casual wear but do a favor to fashion by not wearing them with magnificent wonderful dresses to a party! It messes up your ensemble!
