Our Favourite Friendship Bracelets

Our Favourite Friendship BraceletsThings that remind me of middle school that have (thankfully) not yet made a fashion comeback: crimping irons, scrunchies, and those plastic circle thingies that you thread your shirt hem through, to create some kind of ad hoc shirt ponytail.

Seriously, have you noticed how friendship bracelets have reappeared with a vengeance, across the fashion spectrum? Everyone from Net-A-Porter.com to Urban Outfitters has picked up this trend and, as a former friendship bracelet addict, I couldn’t be happier.

Almost 15 years later, not much has changed, except that this trend is now available across a wide variety of price points and styles, satisfying every taste.

For the refined spirit, there are sophisticated options like these J.Rox leather cord bracelets from eLuxe.ca, or Aurélie Bidermann’s mother-of-pearl charm bracelets on pretty printed cotton cord, available on Net-A-Porter.com.

If you’re not sure what style fits you best, head over to your nearest schoolyard for some inspiration and maybe a little nostalgia for the days of recess, summer vacations and BFFs.
