You can’t call yourself a real fashionista if you don’t have a fabulous stash of accessories. You may feel as if I am exaggerating a little, but the real fashion lovers know that sometimes it’s a girl’s accessories that make the outfit. Of course you should always have the right blend of classic pieces and trendy must haves, but for most of us, it is the accessories that truly add the last bit of spark that we need to give our style a little edge. And this spring season, bangles are an absolute necessity to any belle’s wardrobe.
Why are bangles so hot this season? Four words: Bangles bring the drama!
During New York Fashion Week, major designers such as Baby Phat, Yves Saint Laurent and Diane Von Furstensberg lit up the runway with bright and chunky bangles. Even if you have more of a casual style, bangles can bring life to just about any outfit.
There really aren’t any rules when it comes to rocking bangles. Some prefer to keep it simple and wear one bangle, while the bolder belles will prefer to layer their looks with some of their favorite bangles. And this particular method is called stacking. Even if you’re new to bangles, don’t be afraid to mix it up a little and stack some of your favorite chunky bangles. This hot fashion accessory comes in many forms, although plastic and metallic bangles will be among the most popular this season.
Bangles are part of the statement jewelry phenomenon that is taking the fashion world by storm. If you are usually conservative when it comes to your jewelry pieces, here’s your chance to live a little and step onto the fabulous side of bold fashion. Here are my top picks to get you started in your stacking:
