ARM CANDY


There’s nothing like bright colors, warm weather and new fashion to get us excited for summer! This year, the best way to celebrate the changing season is with arm candy. It doesn’t matter if it’s store-bought or handmade; the more jewelry you have, the better. No matter what your style is, you can accent with the best bracelets for any occasion.

The boho look is by far the easiest and most fun look to pull off. It’s a great mix of daring and subtle. Mix and match any color, print, style or material without being worried about going over the top. Many boho style bracelets come in materials such as metal, thread or bead to master the look. Try making your own bracelets with multiple colored threads – so east and SO cheap. These accessories can be worn with your favorite festival outfit or jeans and a cute top for a more casual look.



Having a daring personality is also a fun way to express fashion and accessories, but these pieces should be used primarily as accents. For example, a simple outfit can be made exciting by pairing it with daring accessories. The best way to go bold is with colors, fabrics and patterns. This, like boho, can mix colors, fabrics and patterns to create a successful look. Daring bracelets are extremely fun to work with but they have to be done right in order for them to not look over the top. If you choose to wear an “out there” bracelet, keep your outfit simple or make sure you know how to style something a little crazier.



The classic look is best for special occasions or for girls with a more refined sense of style. These accessories are usually free of patterns and crazy material but still have a funky standout accent. This look is great for a dressy night out of at work for a professional look. A lot of these bracelets come in solid colors, are metal or plastic, and have rhinestones or jewels to make it look very simple but pretty. These bracelets also tend to be slightly more versatile than daring or boho bracelets because they are simpler.



Bracelets are the best new trend to experiment with. You can find these styles at your favorite accessories store and most stores will sell all styles as well. Accessories are important to any outfit and bracelets are the best way to stand out without spending a lot of money. Just remember to always have fun when styling yourself!
