Stacking Bracelets (Arm Candy/ Arm Party) 101 ♥

It is one of the biggest fashion trends this summer in stores and on runways. Unless you live under a rock, you have probably heard of the stacking bracelets look, otherwise known as an “Arm Party” or “Arm Candy”. Today I’m going to be breaking down this trend and giving you tips and tricks to make it work for you.

Here’s what I think are the three biggest guidelines when stacking bracelets:

Try to keep it on one arm

• This draws in attention to what youre wearing and avoids your “arm party” from becoming an ‘arm rave”.

• If you’re a total diva that needs to give love to both arms, try stacking bracelets on one arm and adding rings or just one bracelet to the other.
• But at the end of the day if you like the look of stacking bracelets on both arms just do it up. Go big or go home, right? J

Variety

• Mix different sized bracelets that vary in texture.
• Use chunky and thinner pieces to create balance in your look.
• Mixing textures is key so you don’t end up with a boring “Arm Party”.
• If you have run out of things or you just don’t know what to pair together, try adding a watch.

Pieces should work together

• Unless it’s a themed look you are going for, try to stay in the same colour scheme.
• Don’t just take a bunch of random things you have and slop it on your arms. Evaluate what you have and wear what you think works together.
• You don’t have to have expensive bracelets or bangles for this trend. Go to places like H&M or Forever 21, where you can find a lot fairly cheap items to put together.

Here are a few examples of how you can stack bracelets:
