Halachot and Customs
Is it permitted for a man to wear a bracelet?
Question
Hello, honor of the rabbi,
I wanted to know whether it is permitted for a man to wear a bracelet, and whether it makes a difference if it is an expensive bracelet or a simple bracelet (such as a cord).
Thank you.
Answer
Hello,
If it is a women’s bracelet, it is forbidden for a man to wear it because of "A man shall not wear a woman’s garment" (Deuteronomy 22:5), and if it is a men’s bracelet, there is no prohibition in principle.
With blessing,
Hillel Meirs
