The sweltering heat of summer in New York doesn't exactly make anyone want to pile on the jewelry. This summer, keep it simple with one statement piece that will add punch to a light summer outfit. Here are the best summer jewelry trends.
Bib necklaces: Bib necklaces have been spotted on everywhere from the red carpet to editorials to gals on the street. For a more subtle look, you can try a smaller bib necklace like this gold fringe necklace from Arden B or pair a giant bib like this intricate beaded necklace from Urban Outfitters with a plain shirt or dress for a major look.
Pared-down studs: Studs have been slowly creeping onto the fashion radar and this season, they're showing up virtually everywhere, including on jewelry. A sleeker, pared-down stud keeps you from looking too biker. Try some studs on a chunky ring, cuff bracelet, or awesome wooden earrings.
Tangled chains: Don't you hate it when you have all of your necklaces in a drawer together and you pull them out all knotted up? Now you can cash in on your misfortunes with the tangled chains trend. Try these twisted beauties from Urban Outfitters, Forever 21 and Free People.
Animal head rings: Part regal, part cheeky and fun, animal head rings are some of the most fun accessories out there. Pop a leopard, tiger or rabbit on your finger for an instant outfit pick-me-up.
Body chains: Yes, you read right. Body chains are making a huge splash with fashion bloggers so here’s your chance to be ahead of the curve. There aren’t many inexpensive options on the market yet but there’s this gold chain and this one I found on Etsy, you can also fashion one yourself out of a necklace by attaching additional chains. Check out how style makers fashiontoast and Maison des Reveries are wearing them.
