Let’s talk great accessories. What better way to pump up the simple clothing that works so well when the weather turns warm than that little extra? Some of the great accessories you’ve been hearing about for spring and summer include gladiator sandals, sharp hats and oversize day clutches: all things that work a strong look. The last touch I recommend to polish your ensemble to a bright shine? Cuffs.
Like the clutch, strong shoe and menswear inspired hat, a cuff is a bold accessory with a myriad of possible looks. You may choose to go tribal, deco, minimal or straight up bling-y. The width of the cuff beautifully echoes and balances out your strappy shoe and big bag. Picture a statement bracelet with a maxi-dress, walking shorts, or boyfriend jeans.
Pictured are three very different examples, all of which I think would be beautiful with your summer clothes. First is a bling-a-ling offering from the Erikson Beamon line for Target. This sparkler rings in a lot of glamour for it’s $39.99 price tag.
Erickson Beamon Jeweled Flower Bracelet:Â $39.99
Next, I love this late Victorian Etruscan Revival bracelet in brass and glass beads, which gives just a touch of that tribal look, as well as the elegance and one of a kind feeling you get from antique jewelry.
Estruscan Revival Bohemian Bangle Bracelet: $250
Finally, I love a minimal version in silver that you can have monogrammed. Pop that with a pair of shorts and silver sandals for that every-day fun in the sun.
Sterling Silver Wide Cuff Bracelet: $187.50
Now say it with me: “cuff me!”
