Summer is a season of light, airy clothing, bright colors and fun, exciting styles. This summer season is no exception. Always adjust your jewelry and accessories based on your personal style but there are some general trends that you can incorporate no matter what your style may be. Bright colors are everywhere this season with a big throwback to the 80's. Not only are the colors bright, but the patterns are bold too with checkers, stripes and polka dots dominating. Summer is the time to experiment and be a little bit crazy with your jewelry.
On the opposite side of the trend spectrum this summer is a natural, earthy look. Wooden beads, shells and earthy colored gemstones are a sure fire hit this summer. The whole idea behind this natural trend is to imitate nature. So, find pieces that are de-structured and free flowing in their design. Chunky stones that vary in shape and size look like they came right from the ground mixed with dark metals in a matte finish are your best bet when tackling this trend. Pieces that include other natural elements such as dragonflies, flowers and trees are also very popular.
Returning to the bright, bold styles of the 80's, chunky bangle bracelets are a popular accessory for the summer. Plastic bracelets are making a big comeback in bright, almost neon colors. These bright colors are being mixed together in trendy ways for an even bigger impact. You can also incorporate the natural trend with chunky bracelets. Look for large cuff bracelets in soft metals with a large flower or snake element. Bracelets that incorporate earth tone colors with natural looking gemstones are the perfect accessory for almost any outfit.
Another popular trend this summer is vintage style jewelry. There will be lots of metal and chains seen this season which is really easy to incorporate into your everyday wear. A great way to wear this trend is to mix chains with acrylic or wooden beads for a really unique yet versatile look. Mix and match harsh metals like copper or brass with feminine, romantic colors like lavender or dusty pink for a truly vintage looking style. Add some glass beads and natural rope for the perfect mix of styles.
