Reminiscent of Nancy Cunard, the rebellious Jazz Age heroine famous for wearing armfuls of African bracelet. The great thing about fashion is that it’s always repeating itself but it’s up to the designers to make it fresh and new each and every time. Bangles are back and were seen in heavy rotation at this years Paris couture shows. Edward Enninful, stylist for Alessandro Dell’Acqua’s spring show for Malo, mentions “The clothes were so urban, clean, and refined; we decided to pile bracelets on to give the collection a tribal edge.” Wilder still were the ornate leopard versions at Louis Vuitton, while pieced glass numbers added Arabian Nights sparkle to the Moorish lineup at 3.1 Phillip Lim.
My only request, please dont wear boring bangles! Here are some ideas.

Not sure yet how to wear this trend, or if this is right for you. Start small and build. Have some celeb support for inspiration.
Here Jennifer and Ashley are layering lots of thin metallic bracelets. This trend in jewelry is being seen all over Paris and now Hollywood. So why not your block?!
