Style Guide For Women: How To Wear Jewelry (Part 2 - Bracelets)

b001

How do we buy jewelry (jewellery)? Are there any rules for buying jewelry (jewellery)? How do we know which jewelry (jewellery) will look good on us? In septemeber Mochishop style blog brought you the original fashion guide of wearing jewelry (jewellery). Follow the rules,  you will learn how to choose the right necklacesbracelets (bangles) and earrings that suit your body shape.

In our last article we revealed that, to wear necklaces properly, we need a necklace was serves to keep the neck and chest proportional.  Luckily, when choosing the right bracelets or bangles, we only need to take one factor into consideration: Wrist size.

Part 2 - How to Wear Bracelets and Bangles

Quite simply, big-boned women with larger wrists can wear larger bracelets and bangles whereas small-boned women can wear smaller bracelets and bangles.

This is because wearing a wrong-sized bracelet or bangle creates an optical illusion so as to exaggerate either the bigness or smallness of the wrist.  Conversely, a good sized bracelet or bangle keeps the wrist looking proportional and focus attention entirely on the style of the wristwear and the complimentary effect it has on ourselves and our outfit.

Which of your two wrists should you wear your bracelets?  Either. It doesn't matter so long as you are not wearing a watch as well.  If you are wearing a watch, wear your bracelet on the alternative wrist.b002

You can wear multiple bangles, though not multiple metals.  Silver or gold, never both.  When wearing multiple bangles, your arm jewelry (jewellery) becomes not only a visual piece but an auditory piece to.  What we mean by this is that bangles should have a 'music'. When multiple bangles jangle together they should produce a beautiful percussive sound.

And one more thing... don't wear bracelets or bangles over sleeves.  They are much better suited to sleeveless garments.  As always, jewelry (jewellery) is always most flattering when it is upon the skin.

We hope you find this information useful when choosing your Mochishop bracelets and bangles. There should be something within our shop which suits your body type. If you feel you require a bracelet to be custom made for you, then please drop us an email with your ideas.

Remember to check back to Mochishop's Style Blog regularly. In part three we'll be advising you how to wear your earrings.
