Stacked Bangles

One of the biggest spring trends that has carried over into the summer is stacked bangles. While one bangle can compliment an outfit well, stacking them offers an easy way to spruce up a simple outfit and take it from day to night. The best way to utilize this style is to mix several bracelets with different colors, textures and metals. There should be some cohesion to whatever you chose, so while experimenting with different hues and styles, try to find a common thread. Remember: sometimes bigger isn’t always better. Chose pieces that are complementary without being overbearing. (Kate Spade "idiom" bangles, $78 for one bracelet. Nordstrom.com)
