Modern Fashion

Bangles are a spring fashion statement nearly anyone can wear. Here are a few great ways to make use of this fabulous trend, plus where to find the hottest bangle styles this season.

If you’re wearing denim, mix up your look by wearing big, bold bangles in a variety of colors and styles to complement the colors in your blouse. These bangles are a great choice, and will look fabulous with almost any color.

For more formal styles, choose one bangle bracelet in sterling silver or gold, or layer two or three similar bangles for a look that’s very classy. You can also choose a bangle bracelet that’s encrusted with gems or crystals, such as this one. They’ll be pricier because of the materials they’re made with, but these elegant bangles are the perfect accessory to any formal outfit.

If you’re into funkier looks, you can choose a mix of round and square bangle bracelets in a variety of wild prints. These bangles are not for the timid, but with a certain amount of confidence and fashion-savvy you can pull off layering this leopard print bangle bracelet with your next bold outfit.

Bangle bracelets have been an accessory staple for years, and continue to look fresh and exciting with each passing of the seasons. This spring, you can wear bangles in a variety of funky colors and prints, or go formal with elegant, jewel-encrusted bracelets to adorn your wrist.

Whatever look you choose, you can show off your bangle bracelets in style!

Skinny jeans seem to be the favored style for celebrities, models and the women who look like them… but can the “average” woman pull it off? Of course you can! Keep these tips in mind and you’ll discover how wearable skinny jeans are for nearly every woman.

Consider the Color

Skinny jeans are meant to make you look long and lean, so the wash you choose will help you get that look. Look for skinny jeans in a dark black or dark blue wash; these are the most slimming and will help to accentuate the positives without drawing attention to any “flaws” you might have.

Choose the Right Shoes

If you’re already long and lean, you have a few options when it comes to what footwear to pair with your skinny jeans. Ballet flats or pointy toe shoes can look amazing, but if you have thicker calves you should opt for a pair of tall boots and tuck your jeans into them. If you’re in love with high heels, choose a pair of basic pumps to help elongate the leg and make you look slimmer. Your favorite pair of sneakers can give skinny jeans a casual-cool vibe too, but choose non-bulky styles like low tops to avoid overwhelming the fitted look.

Keep It Balanced

Because skinny jeans are so fitted, you need to balance your look with a top that has a bit of volume to it. A fashionable tunic top or a top with flowing, bell sleeves will work to keep your look in check. If you choose a shirt that’s extra long, you can belt it to feel more pulled together AND disguise problem areas. Bonus!

Be Comfortable

Skinny jeans don’t have to be uncomfortable or skin tight; in fact, there are plenty of skinny jeans that will give you the look of a leaner silhouette without making you feel like you’re going to pop. Look for slightly wider leg openings when shopping for skinny jeans; these are much more forgiving.

Add Accessories

Your look can be maximized by choosing the right accessories to go with your newly long and lean silhouette! Add a funky headband; don a chain necklace, or stack a few flashy bangles on your wrist for instant glam. Don’t go overboard with accessories, but definitely be creative and have fun mixing and matching your favorite pieces – with skinny jeans, nearly anything goes!

Many women are afraid of the skinny jean, but nearly any woman can pull the look off if she knows how. These tips will help you get over your fear and make that first leap into the world of skinny denim. Good luck!
