Rubber bracelets can be worn alone, but they tend to look best when several are worn at once. They are a style that goes with virtually every type of clothing. Wear bright colors when you want to spice up a preppy, clean-cut look, or wear black when you want to epitomize urban chic. Fortunately, they're affordable enough to buy a set for every outfit.

Many rubber bracelets come in quantities of a dozen or more, and in all the colors of the rainbow. You can also find various styles of rubber bracelets, such as thin bangles and wide-band tie-dyed looks. It's even possible to find kits that allow you to customize or create your own rubber bracelets. This is a great option for volleyball teams, sororities, and other groups that want to show their solidarity and spirit.

In addition to rubber bracelets, other popular jewelry includes rhinestone rings, gold 'bling' chains with large charms, and silver hoop earrings. Rubber bracelets, given their sleek modern look, can be paired with fine jewelry for an irreverent approach to fashion. Unlike other types of jewelry, rubber bracelets aren't just for one type of person (goth, geek chic, etc.) but can be worn by all people from all fashion camps.

This widespread popularity is in large part because rubber bracelets have become associated with great causes. The most pertinent example of this has to be Lance Armstrong's yellow Live Strong bracelets, which benefit and raise awareness for cancer patients. As a result, rubber bracelets in a variety of colors and representing a huge array of causes have become unisex accessories with a message.
