Stacked up

Ditching the minimalist trend, this season is all about OD-ing on bracelets, charms, bands and cuffs

Bid farewell to your rings, necklaces and all other accessories, this season your bracelets and cuffs take center stage. The trend du jour is wearing all your finest arm candy all at once. Stack up all your charm bracelets, cuffs, wrap-around bracelets, bangles, and watches together.

Create an interesting and diverse mix of colours, textures and fabrics one that matches your personality and style. Don't be afraid to mix your chunky cuffs with your smaller bracelets, the key here, is to make sure that the pieces are visible.

Club your large dial watch with neon leather bracelets and a plain blouse with denims for a coffee date. Add a masculine vibe with ceramic watches and dark-coloured wrap-around bands with studs and rivets. For a young and preppy outfit wear a bright-hued plastic watch with beaded bracelets and your vintage charms bands.

No matter what style of watch you choose, wear it with a nice stack of bangles and bracelets for a chic look. Use this trend to make an artistic statement through your outfit but stick to your personal style: girlie, goth or simplistic.

One can never go wrong with this trend, simply mix-and-match any of the jewellery you already own. If you want to get your hands on this trend visit stores like Curio Cottage, Popli, Espirit or Guess.

For those looking at cheaper options hit streets of Colaba Causeway or Linking Road and get your mix of bracelets and cuffs. You can also add a personal touch by making your own bracelets use neon threads, broken chains or old charms lying at home to make your own collection.

So ladies, push your sleeves up, throw on all your bracelets, and hit the streets!

Black bottoms

Black pants have been the crowning glory of a woman's wardrobe and both of us decided to do a different take on the quintessential black pants.

- Don't be afraid to brighten up your black pants with multiple colours. Black is stark so it can take a lot of colour in contrast. Sequins in black, white and colour is something the black pant can carry easily.

- In terms of silhouettes, people get stuck with basic blouses and shirts. Experiment with a boxy crop top; mix it with a blazer or a vest or a long wrap. Wear long t-shirts, tunic styles as tops with your pants as another alternative.

- Change up your pants by wearing brogues, wedges or clogs. The natural instinct is to pick a pair of pumps, refrain from that.

- Think out of the box with your hair and makeup as well. Pops of pink, orange and red can refresh your look and very dressy at the same time.

- Going monochrome with an entire black ensemble and adding a pop of colour is very done, so try and change it up a bit for fun. Try a splash of vibrant colours to a fresh take.

- It’s a myth that black and brown don’t match. It is in fact, one of our favourite combinations. See for yourself here.
