Jewelry Trends in Bracelets for Plus Size Women
Bracelets for plus size women are usually bigger than mass market size jewelry. You will easily find bracelets that are as long as eight inches. Shopping at a niche market store for plus size bracelets is as good as getting jewelry custom made for your size. At least in large niche store you get a range of styles that are already pre-selected by fashion buyers, taking out the guesswork of having to buy something that looks trendy. As always when shopping, buy what you like and what makes you feel good rather than faithfully following trends. Here are some current trends in bracelet currently in the market that might look familiar.
The Return of the Cuff
Cuffs were popular in the 70s and have made a comeback. They look just the way they did forty years ago with little variation. Most cuffs are in metallic shades. The problem with cuffs for plus size women is that cuffs need to be close to the size of the wrist in order to fit well. Plus size cuffs are closer to the wrist size of larger women and need to be bought at specialty stores to get a comfortable fit. If you like this trend, be sure to be mindful of good fit otherwise the cuff will not hold on the wrist well and will fall off.
Trend Colors
This summer, expect bright corals, turquoise and blue green shades that mimic the stones on the beach. Summer colors are bright and you will see this trend in bracelets too. Metallic bracelets are inlaid with colored enamel to give a pop of neon or bright orange. Other bracelets would be all color themselves.
Bold Trends in Gems
Gems are also back, a throwback from the mid century designs, gems on bracelets can be heavy and expensive. But plus size women can carry heavy and have no problem bringing the load colors into the wardrobe. In fact, load and big jewelry flatter the plus size woman and adds dimensions to her outfits.
Ethnic Trends in Bangles
Bangles are a staple in South Asia, but now they are making waves all over the fashion world. Indians layer hundreds of strands of bangles on their arms until it looks like arm armor like those worn by a super hero. You do not need to go to that extreme to be fashionable. Stacked bangles are one of the few fine featured jewelry trends that large women pull off very well. Bangles are easy to adjust, you can mix them up when you get tired of the same thing. Plus they are a lot more comfortable than just wearing a single large bracelet.
The Charm Never Fades
Charm bracelets are very popular and old fashions at the same time. That is because throughout its history, charm bracelets have never gone into a resting period between revivals. They have always been around because they are beautiful and sentimental at the same time. Charms make great gifts for anybody and they can be customized to fit the perfect person.
