Jewelry goes through stages just like any other category of fashion. One season barely-there necklaces are in. Another favors outsize earrings or cabochon rings. This summer it's all about chunky bracelets, which includes bangles and cuffs. The more, the better.
Now it may seem counterintuitive to cover up your arms in wide bracelets. After all, summer usually requires less clothing and accessories, not more. Since these babies slide, there's still some ventilation. Plus, practically everywhere you go has air conditioning anyway.
As usual, there's a slew of awesome designer options. Saint Laurent is really all in, offering several incarnations, from a resin cuff to stack-worthy cabochon bangles. Khaite brings a sculpted silver piece to the table, while Isabel Marant introduces a pop of color with its boho bracelet. Balmain's mesh bracelet is a great way to show some logo love. Naturally, Alaïa is flush with ornate silhouettes. Like a silver and turquoise sphere along with a transparent bracelet.
You don't have to spend a lot to get a lot, however. (Which is ideal since stacking is preferred.) Zara has lots of styles, including resin creations and even a fishy design that ties into the maritime craze seamlessly. Then there's Mango's rigid bracelet and Free People's summer sunset bangle.
