Bold and Studded Bracelets: Making an unbeatable trend!

Trends go and come with seasons! But sometimes a trend stays more than it’s expected. An attractive bracelet around wrist does give a stylish look but it may look sluggish if not worn according to latest fashion. Bold and studded bracelets have proof and saved themselves from being out of fashion this season as well.

Famous fashion brands like D&G, Gucci, Juicy Couture presented their designs with bold jewelry. Chunky and tough jewelry styles are extremely popular this season as well, especially for bracelets. Instead of a delicate tennis and jelly bracelets, it would be better option to go for a larger piece that can be worn in conjunction with simple rings.

Luc Kieffer Metal Passiflora Large Cuff

Rocker chic is back in a big way with studded bracelets. When you’re feeling a little edgy, just add a few small studded bracelets to more tailored pieces for a great contrast. The key here is not to opt for a full on goth look. Keep the feminine touch and if you’re going to rock an all black, complete the ensemble with tough jewelry like studded or chain link bracelets.

You don’t have to be incredibly formal with bracelets, instead try some large plastic or crystal bracelets in bright colors that can really pop against a classic dress choices. Available in numerous designs, styles and colors, these bracelets can fit any price budget. If your dress is a print, then choose white or black chunky bracelets, and for a bold solid color dress, pick bracelets with contrasting color for a bold look. Pink jewelry is also making a new trend this season.
