Trendspotting: Cuff bracelets

 

Earlier this year, celebrities like Madonna, Nicole Richie and Mischa Barton were spotted sporting cuff bracelets on their upper arms. For the summer, these fashion staples have migrated down the arm to the wrist. Worn alone or in groups of two or three, this season’s cuffs come in a variety of shapes and styles, from geometric metals and chic wooden designs to colorful plastics and bejeweled creations. Pair them with a simple tee shirt or little black dress, or embrace the spring/summer runway trend and combine them with bold prints for the ultimate fashion statement.
