Stacking is back in style!

... Or did that fashion trend really ever die?
Remember when stacking friendship bracelets and buddha beads were a thing of the past?  Well, a style that may have momentarily lapsed in the fashion world is back again!

Now, it's all about wearing more rings than you have fingers, layering necklaces and stacking bracelets. But there is a trick to making it work, otherwise you'll look the way you did circa 'your childhood' when you raided your moms jewelry box.  


Stacking Rings

Try stacking multiple rings on some fingers, while maybe keeping others to one.  I'm a big fan of thin, mid finger rings - they're so fun!  Mixing metals and textures is always welcome - but to keep that look nice and manicured, make sure to keep some fingers bare (think negative space).  


Layering Necklaces

Layering necklaces are an easy way to add dimension to your look.  Layer lots of delicate necklaces with small details - and in varying lengths.  Slightly varying chains are fun ways of changing it up.  A baby step to layering would be to start with a short simple necklace paired with a longer more intricate beaded necklace. 


Bracelets


With bracelets it's hard to go wrong with stacking - the more the merrier!  Mixing natural elements (like stones and wood) with metal is always a clean cohesive look, but add in pops of color by stacking intriguing colorful pieces.  


Happy stacking!!

XO, Katie
