More the Merrier…

Stacking bracelets are all the trend this year.  Are you ready to hop on the stacking bandwagon but not sure how to begin? Follow these basics to achieve the perfect layered look.

1.  Try out just 2-4 bracelets for your first attempt. They can all match (or have a similar style) if you aren’t ready to be adventurous yet. Or you can mix it up with different metals and gems. Also, try to incorporate a variety of widths – maybe a mix of bangles with a wide cuff bracelet for a fun look.

2.  Try a set of bangles meant for stacking. Some bracelets are sold in sets and can help take any guesswork and confusion out.

3.  Don’t over-do it. Creating layers of bracelets should feel fun and manageable, but not something that is weighing you down. Also, keep in mind the noise level associated with metal bracelets hitting each other and don’t let your arm become a distraction.

4.  Add function by pairing a few bracelets with a watch. It creates a stack with both style and substance.

5.  Bring life to older pieces. Adding a few different bracelets to an older item is a great way to make it new again.

6.  Comfort matters. If you are stacking bracelets when going to work, keep in mind how much you work on a computer or what the bracelets might hit throughout the day. If it’s going to be an issue, try wearing combinations that won’t be as distracting such as leather, fabric or thin metals. Also, if you are right-handed, then wear stacks on your left hand.

7.  Layered pearl bracelets are classy and fun but avoid stacking them with metal bracelets that could scratch the pearls.
