What Makes Silicone Bracelets Fashionable

By Roger Edwards


In almost every activity today, in the 21st century, there is one common trend that you could see. Whether in concerts, outreach programs, and the like, there is an object almost always present. Some think of it as too mainstream. Others just go with the flow, but are not really into it. There are also some who create businesses with these things because they find it timely and of significance. You might belong to either one or two of these group of people just mentioned. But that is not important, because no matter which group you belong, this article is still for you.

There are a million ways to make your outfit hip and significant at the same time. The most popular and convenient idea has been existing for more than a decade now and you might not have noticed it. Perhaps, you have heard of silicone bracelets, or better known as baller bands.

Wearing arm accessories has been very popular ever since time began. From the colonial era up to the present day, it is something in the accessory department that will never go out of stock and out of style. Traditional bangles and arm candies, however, are not the only ones qualified for showing off.

The LIVESTRONG campaign was what drove these rubber armbands to the shore. It was spearheaded by Lance Armstrong for his advocacy on cancer awareness and research, under the Lance Armstrong Foundation. The events that followed were just overwhelming. The bracelets were now in almost every campaign and advocacy movement.

Online searches show about 1,750,000 results on businesses engaged into selling this kind of merchandise. A large number of these shops offer customization services. There are also some who are open to resellers and give discounts to bulk buyers.

Before the popularity of these bands came about, ribbons of different colors were often used for awareness programs and other similar gatherings during the 19th century. Every color would signify a certain meaning, and these ribbons were usually pinned on shirts, tarpaulins, even posters.

Even the performing arts is not exempted from this trendy fashion item. Invitations to rock concerts and theater performances now have the bracelets as giveaways and souvenirs. Almost every one on the planet is getting the hang of this elastic armband.

Another trending use of this fashion item now involves your cellular phone. An increasing number of businesses now sell these bracelets as a universal phone bumper. The type that you can stretch all you want, no matter how bug your phone is. A number of people even came up with the idea of using it as a hair tie. It is one unbreakable piece of handiwork.

This has been one, if not the only, amazing piece of work as far as arm accessories is involved. Rubber and silicone are two materials which have served humanity well, ever since time began. With this innovation, these objects just made themselves even more useful. To people who think that these things are not worth a penny because they would just ruin the OOTD, they might take it back when they see photos of celebs wearing these things, scattered on the Internet. Fashion is not about being caught by the fashion police, but letting the cops know that there is more than one way to do it.
