20 Jewellery pieces that went from trendy to staples
updated the 6 October 2015 à 22:28Streetstyle influences us with the permanent addition of statement accessories in our wardrobes. Read on for inspiration, and top picks you won’t be able to resist.
Chokers, stacked rings, delicate arm candy, ear cuffs… as microtrends, they’ve come and gone. The quiet statement-making pieces have been in and out of the fashion scene for decades (usually associated with subcultures and rebellion), but it looks like in this day and age, they’re finally settling for a permanent space as fashion staples.
Here’s the proof: The 2010s saw a surge in the term ‘arm party’, indicating a stacking of mismatching bracelets that still somehow fuse to become one cohesive entity on a fashionista’s wrist. Necklace layering (perfected by bloggers, no less) has left fans and followers scratching their heads at how these online personalities manage to pull it off without a mess of chains tangling, yet lust over each piece and recreate their own versions. Wearing a single oversized ear cuff that adorns the entire curve of the ear from lobe to tip is now normal and uber-cool.
So no matter how well you think you’ve gotten your personal style down, there’s always room for accessorising. Consider the new staples in your wardrobes – chokers, ear cuffs, dainty bracelets and rings, and statement drop-earrings – and get ready for a solid experiment in hardware mixing.
