Do’s and Don’t of Bracelets for Winter
Some accessory styles are noteworthy, while others you spot on the runway or in the pages of magazines may be short-lived and not worth your time or money. Sometimes it’s hard to weed out the forgettable, in favor of the real keepers. So here, we take a look at some of the some tips for wearing winning bracelets this season, and making the style your own. Plus, advice on what styles it’s okay to pass on.
Do – Mix soft with rough and tough bracelets. Think of it as the battle between good and evil. You want to be the good girl, but also have the edge. So instead of keeping with a certain theme, don’t hesitate to try leather bracelets with delicate ones like charm bracelets or thin bangles. Mixing and matching can be really fun, plus you get to create many looks out of one piece.
Don’t – Be afraid of colored bracelets. Sure, 80s inspired hues are back in a big way (think neon pink, electric blue and day glow orange), but if these don’t float your boat, then go for colored enamel bracelets in richer tones like royal blue, purple and ruby. Remember that a splash of color can go a long way with the heavy fabrics, tones and textures of winter.
Do – Experiment with different bracelets. Try wide and small, heavy and light, adorned and plain. Fashion is meant to be fun and exciting, so use it as an excuse for escaping from the ho hum of everyday life. By playing around with different bracelet combinations, you might be surprised at the number of different combinations you can create. Add some new pieces and use old go-to favorites too.
Do – Add bracelets that are printed. Try answering the call of the wild with leopard, zebra or cheetah print. Just a small splash of one of these makes an otherwise boring outfit pop.
Don’t forget – Bracelets should be age-appropriate. If you’re playing with new trends, remember to keep things professional while in the office and tasteful while out on the town.
