When it comes to accessories, few pieces of jewellery work as hard as a cuff bracelet. Yet this classic item has had something of a hiatus since its heyday around 2011, when Stefano Pilati at Saint Laurent designed the Arty collection — a line that had every fashion insider worth her salt scrambling to purchase one of his gold brass cuffs set with coloured glass stones.
Fast forward more than a decade and statement cuffs are back in the spotlight and have cool girls embracing them as their go-to jewellery to instantly elevate any look this season.
As seen on the catwalks for Spring/Summer 2025, chunky bracelets have once again garnered increased attention from a host of luxury fashion houses including Saint Laurent, Hermès, and Balmain, embracing the trend to accessorise their ready-to-wear collections.
Each brand’s cuff bracelets, made of different metals, shapes, and textures, perfectly showcased how effortless incorporating a cuff bracelet can be.

Statement and timeless in equal measure, if you’re looking to give them a try, cuffs are everywhere this season, and can be found at every price point.
For a minimalist approach, choose a soft resin bangle in either tortoiseshell or bone colour ways. This boho-inspired styling is reminiscent of Saint Laurent and Victoria Beckham’s Spring/Summer 2025 collections, which featured cuff bracelets layered over blazers and blouses for a subtly chic look. If you’re looking to go all in, opt for a mixed metal or fully bejewelled approach for a maximalist look.
