This year, sleek and geometric has been the new go-to style. Style Gurus and Fashionistas from all over have been sporting bar necklaces that have layers of simple shapes, while the rings and bracelets I’ve seen recently have been designed in metallic or solid colors without much detailing. Meanwhile, outfits commonly include crop tops and bodycon pieces that are form-fitting but simply designed. So, what happened to wearing intricately twisted necklaces and jewelry covered in symbols or Celtic designs?
This Fashionista shows how a few twists and ties can still lend some beautiful details to our outfits. She told me that she made her crop top herself which is impressive enough, but its ruching and tied-off sleeves also make it stand out from most others.
Another feature of her outfit is multiple pendants made of materials similar to jade and shells, which are twisted together to combine a few necklaces into one piece. Compared to metallic bar necklaces, they actually feel more appropriate for summer, because their imperfect twists and black cords are reminiscent of casual days at the beach.
In the height of the geometric craze, remember that twisted or unbalanced details can add a lot of personality to your look! Accessories like this Fashionista uses are great for summer and are easy to make yourself.
