" Yesterday, Nike and Livestrong announced that they&amp;#039;re officially cutting ties. Not too shocking, considering the fallout from Lance Armstrong&amp;#039;s doping scandal demoted Livestrong apparel and accessories to bargain-bin status, even after he separated himself from the charity. But, unsurprising though it may be, this means that those once-ubiquitous yellow bands are soon to be no more, with Nike ceasing to sell Livestrong goods after the upcoming holiday season. So, it&amp;#039;s the end of an era in wrist adornment. But let&amp;#039;s be honest: Those bracelets were kind of ugly, and it was an unfortunate era. Which got us thinking about all those other unfortunate eras in wrist adornment. Remember slap bracelets? Spiked leather cuffs? How about the all-too-recent popularity of piling every goddamn thing in the world on your wrists to declare your individuality? Yeah, things have gotten pretty bad from time to time. And so, in the dual interests of historical record-keeping and helping you stay stylish, we present to you ten of the worst wrist-wear trends of recent memory, so you can avoid them at all costs. TEN THINGS YOU SHOULDN&amp;#039;T PUT ON YOUR WRIST 1. RUBBER BRACELETS  Lance killed this for everyone. Sorry. Plus, like we said: They&amp;#039;re kind of ugly.  2. SILLY BANDZ  These things are designed for children. And yet, adults wore them. If you&amp;#039;re sensing some cognitive dissonance here, you should be. Pro tip: Don&amp;#039;t wear children&amp;#039;s accessories. It&amp;#039;s creepy.  3. TWO WATCHES AT THE SAME TIME  If Bieber did it, there&amp;#039;s a good chance you shouldn&amp;#039;t. Repeat after us: &amp;quot;One watch at a time. One watch at a time. One watch at a time.&amp;quot;  4. SLAP BRACELETS  Because it&amp;#039;s not 1992 anymore.  5. BIG &amp;quot;BLING&amp;quot; WATCHES  &amp;quot;Jewel encrusted&amp;quot; is not a trait that a man should be searching for in his accessories. Also: Your watch shouldn&amp;#039;t be the size of a plate.  6. KABBALAH STRINGS  Remember when every celebrity wore one of these? Remember how fking obnoxious that was?  7. 10,000 BRACELETS AT ONCE  Five. Five is now the limit. Please make a note of it.  8. PUKA SHELLS  You think they make you look cool and laid-back. They don&amp;#039;t. They just make you look like a tool.  9. SPIKED LEATHER CUFFS  Are you in a punk band in London in 1978? No? Then take it off.  10. STEAMPUNK WATCHES  Are you riding in a dirigible in an alternate reality where everyone decided that, yeah, steam-powered everything sounds like a great idea? No? Then take it off.  PLUS: TEN THINGS YOU SHOULD ACTUALLY PUT ON YOUR WRIST. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
