Too basic? Omg.. if this is too basic, then alot of people around you has a love bracelet. It's still the classic, expensive and best jewelry made.
LOL if this was the San Francisco SoulCycle I’ve definitely seen other ladies there with it (me too)
I was watching a YouTube video about jewellery/jewelery about a month ago, and this Aussie lady did a review on items and the top 10 items on a person's wish list.
Needless to say, it was no surprise when the Love bracelet was at the #1 spot. I'm fairly certain it will remain that way for decades to come.

That’s like saying the Chanel classic flap is out of style
That's called 'Tan Van Syndrome'. You buy a Tan van then all of a sudden all you see are Tan vans!
Congrats on your new bracelet!!!!
I don't think this question is so absurd. Something being a classic does not preclude it being or not on trend or more or less in style.
Take the Cartier trinity line, which is undoubtedly a classic and in fact older than the Love bracelet by some decades. In the 80s, all of a sudden Cartier trinity was the thing. Everybody, old and young, wanted a Cartier trinity ring, it was ubiquitous in magazines, many would buy the original and others would make do with versions by local jewelers or other brands (and they all had one).
Nowadays Cartier of course continues producing and selling the Trinity line. But you don't really see it much. Influencers don't showcase it in instagram, Vogue editors don't list it as a jewelry essential, and many who bought a piece as an investment decades ago, keep it in a box. There aren't one thousand threads open in PF about it and no talk about starting one's Cartier journey with a Trinity. A classic? Bien sur. On trend? Certainly not.
So yes, the Love is more recent but has been there since the 60s so a classic. And yet, love for the Love has exploded in recent years. I do see many in my town. And everywhere online. Teenage shops make their own versions and every girl wants one. And then there is the stacking trend, because a trend it is. And as with everything, there will come a time when the trend will relent because that is what trends do. At this point I am sure many people have started to think that they are too ubiquitous or too banal. And it will go out of style. And back to be a classic that continues to be sold, and bought and worn by only some people. Although most probably not in a stack.

Honestly, I have to disagree with the above. I don't see it being a trend. When something is so ingenious and innovative as well as being made with such craftsmanship and having such a modern look, I don't think it will go out of style. I, for one, do not buy things because of trends. If anything, I purchase things for a different reason. I purchase things for superior quality, and if it happens to be a trend, then so be it. I just don't see any other bracelet out there that meets my standards for superior quality and comfort.
As for the Trinity line, I can see that line going out of style as it can be a bit dated mixing 3 golds, and it's not like that design was the most ingenious and creative idea in jewellery making. There's just no comparison to having the forethought and idea of using a screw mechanism in order to hold a bracelet together. It's like a piece of art!
As for those who are purchasing it for other reasons such as to "Keep up with the ....", I certainly am NOT. I can't stand those people and what they stand for.
