How to Master the Art of Layering Bracelets
Step aside minimalist trends, there's a new arm party in town and it's taking accessorising to a whole new level!
Long gone are the days when less was considered more. Bracelet layering is the ultimate fashion obsession now. And TBH, it's no surprise why! Sophisticated, sparkly and a whole lot of fun, these glittering stacks are a fabulous way to add a little oomph to your outfit without seeming too OTT.
Of course, bracelet stacking isn't very easy to do. A few wrong choices and you could end up with a pile that clashes with your outfit (trust us, we've been there and it isn’t fun). But don't worry, after a lot of trial and error, we've come up with a method that's easy for everyone to follow.
Want to know what our top tips are? Sit back, relax and read on...
1. Choose a Sparkler to Take Centre Stage
Every masterpiece needs a focal point, and your bracelet stack is no exception.
Pick a dazzling showstopper as the centre piece of your stack. Here, the best bracelet choice for women would be a statement piece with a mesmerizing gemstone, an intricate design, or a meaningful charm. Once you've chosen your star player, let the other bracelets play supporting roles.
2. Keep a Number in Mind
Don't get us wrong. More is more with this trend. However, there's a fine line between effortless style and cluttered extravagance. And trust us, you'll definitely want to stick with the former.
A great way to do that is to pay attention to the number of bracelets you pile on. We recommend wearing either 3 or 5 for maximum impact. Here, the use of odd numbers will create an asymmetrical stack that'll turn heads wherever you go. Pretty cool, huh?
3. Dare to Dangle
Who says layering is limited to wrist-hugging bracelet designs?
Add a touch of whimsy to your stack by incorporating sparklers with dangling charms or pendants. These playful additions will not only add movement to your arm party but will also help you tell a story that's uniquely yours.
4. Don't Forget the Gemstones
Psst...want to know the secret to an unforgettable layered bracelet stack?
It's gemstone bracelets!
Be it glimmering diamonds or vibrant coloured gemstones, stacking a studded sparkler is a fabulous way to level up your wrist game. Here, we recommend opting for gems within the same colour family (warm or cool) to create a look that's both cohesive and eye-catching.

5. Play Matchmaker With Your Metals
Want to take your stack up a notch? Just throw on bracelets in different metals.
But before you let your imagination run wild, there are a few ground rules you should keep in mind:
-
Pair Only Two Hues at a Time
Here, you could team rose gold with yellow gold, platinum with rose gold or even yellow gold with silver...the possibilities are endless. That said, make sure you pick a dominant colour for your stack and a supporting hue for an added bit of contrast.
-
Disperse Them Evenly
Remember to spread your metals evenly throughout your stack for a seamless look that's pleasing to the eye.
