Fashion enthusiasts love to see all the bold trends coming down the runway. Designers take advantage of the catwalk to debut their most innovative creations. You may love a new look but feel unsure how to incorporate that into your daily life. There are ways to translate these high fashion trends straight into your wardrobe!
Creating a Copycat
Whether you prefer statement pieces, sustainable jewelry, or everyday elegance, the key is infusing your own style into the trends you choose to emulate. Here are some easy ways to get started:
- Simplify: The designs we see on the runway and during fashion week are larger than life. Take the general idea of what you like and scale it down to something that is wearable for you. For example, if you love the idea of huge and heavy bangles, add some slightly oversized ones to your jewelry box. Or take the look of large statement earrings and pair it down to something that can worn regularly.
- Color: Take the hues you are seeing and loving and dilute them to something you can wear. For example, if a lot of large sapphires are making an appearance, then go for other rich blue gems or even a royal blue enamel to stay on trend and not break the bank.
- Try Out Textures: You may notice very heavy metal earrings coming from designers so you can find something similar but in a much lighter version to make it a wearable option.
- Supplement Shapes: A large triangle shaped bangle may look edgy and exciting but won’t be comfortable. A zigzag patterned bracelet will play on the same geometric ideas but will be wearable.
Jewelry can transform an outfit from ordinary to extraordinary. The exciting runway looks will eventually find their way into our everyday lives but in the meantime these tips will help you get the bold looks you want to wear right now. Don’t be afraid to experiment and let your jewelry narrate your fashion story.
