# Hairband-Bracelet Hybrids The Duelette Bracelet Marries Fashion and Function By Sarah Dos Santos | Published 2013-06-25 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duelette-bracelet References: [neilbalmbra](http://www.neilbalmbra.com/2013/03/the-duelette-by-chilly-jilly.html) & [chillyjilly](https://www.chillyjilly.com/shop/?product=22) Many companies try to bridge the gap between style and function and the Duelette [fashion bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juicy-couture-bracelet-kit) are a perfect balance of the two. The bracelets, made by Chilly Jilly, have 14-karat gold and silver [durable beads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touch-bracelet) that will glisten in the light whether they are in your hair or on your wrist. These unisex bands can be worn alone or together -- anyway you need, depending on the occasion. The bracelets come in black and white and can really complete a look. Ladies, now you can move on from [hairbands that easily break](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/t3-x-lelet-ny), damage your hair, and leave ugly crimps and invest in a product that will not only last, but look great. Men, you can compliment your outfit with some bling bling and still keep it looking masculine. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/jewelry) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fashion-function Integration:** The trend of marrying fashion and function presents disruptive innovation opportunities to create products that provide both style and practicality. - **Dual-purpose Accessories:** The growing demand for multi-functional accessories opens up opportunities to design products that can be used in different ways for various occasions. - **Gender-inclusive Fashion:** The trend towards unisex products allows for the development of fashionable accessories that appeal to both men and women. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Accessories:** The fashion accessories industry can explore the integration of fashion and function to create innovative products that cater to style-conscious consumers. - **Jewelry:** The jewelry industry can embrace the concept of dual-purpose accessories to design pieces that can be worn in different ways, offering versatility and value to customers. - **Hair Accessories:** The hair accessories industry can innovate by developing hairbands that not only serve their primary function but also double as stylish bracelets, providing a dual-use solution for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multi-Wear Hair Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truss-series-shippou.md) - [Mix-and-Match Scented Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jelly-bands.md) - [Feminine Tennis Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tennis-bracelet.md) - [Inclusive Textured Hair Headbands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gymshark.md) - [Tool-Integrated Smartwatch Straps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tilink-titanium-multifunction-edc-bracelet.md) - [Minimalist Leather Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plik-1.md) - [Zero-Waste Hair Ties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fizzy-goblet.md) - [Accessorized Styling Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/style-treat-sweet-to-sleek-treat.md) - [Customizable Beaded Touch Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touch-bracelet.md)
