MEAGHAN SMITH PERSONAL STYLIST

Rather than just wearing one necklace, try layering two or more together.

It might be several delicate chains or a mix of fine, with heavier chains, which will create more texture.

Wear them close or far apart.

Play around to see what feels right for you and your personal style.

This is Elsa Peretti in 1974. She’s wearing several ‘Diamonds By The Yard’ necklaces which she designed and you can still buy from Tiffany & Co.

I love the simplicity of this outfit and effectiveness of the accessories. (The color’s beautiful too.)

Imagine how different it would look without the glasses, earrings, brooch, bag, scarf, and ring.

(I’m off to eBay and Etsy now to search for a vintage gold flower bud brooch.)

It might just look like a blazer and a pair of jeans but it’s more than that.

This is what I notice…

The fine stripe on both the jacket & the shirt.
The gold on the glasses, the bag & her bangles.
The plaited belt.
The sleeves of her shirt poking out at the end of her jacket.
The slightly relaxed fit of the jeans.
The size, color & length of the bag.

It’s all these details that give an outfit texture and depth and make it look interesting, modern & pulled together – even if it’s something quite simple – like this one appears to be.

There’s no right or wrong way to wear them. It could be a cluster (if you don’t mind the click-clacking) or just one. The same color, different colors, different textures, materials, and sizes. One arm or two. Vintage, modern, or both.

What’s great about an accessory trend, is that by adding just one or two things (Providing it’s something you like, of course) you can freshen up some of the old pieces in your wardrobe. (Similar to changing over the cushions on your couch to give it an updated look.)

Imagine…

Two large gold bangles with a simple black dress.
Several colored bangles with a colorful blouse.
One large black bangle with a white linen blazer.

The thing to keep in mind is to wear a bangle in a way that works for your personal style. i.e., colorful, playful bangles might not be your thing, but modern, sleek bangles might.
