WRAP WATCHES AND LEATHER CUFF WATCHES FOR WOMEN & MEN

Wrap watches are meant to look like you have layers of bracelets and jewelry worn together but it is made easy as the watch is often enough or you can add a few bangles or pieces to accentuate. Men's leather cuff watches have been big and continue to trendy for fall/winter.  Go for more bling (i.e. gold or silver detail) or less depending on your personal style.

 

To this I would add gold bracelets and layer it.  ShopBop La Mer Pyramid Stud Wrap Watch, $106.

NEON BRIGHTS

Are everywhere this season?  Some of us grew up in the 80's and remember wearing these.  But regardless of your age and style, there are easy ways to incorporate this trend into your wardrobe.  To ease in to this trend, add neon in your jewelry.  Bright earrings punch up any look.  Try a neon flip flop if at the beach or a neon cross-body bag or clutch.  High heels are a great place to add a little color and flare.

The difference the current neon trend versus the older is that neon can also be a bright pop of color versus the day glow colors of the past.  Both are popular but wear what you are comfortable with.  Playful green (a duller version of bright neon lime green), oranges (which can include tangerine), bright pink (fuchsia and brighter), yellow are all great colors to add to a look.  Make your look stand out with a bold/bright color.

STYLE YOUR LOOK WITH STATEMENT EARRINGS

A great way to freshen up your current look and wardrobe is via statement earrings.  These are earrings that contain a bold shape, size, or color.  Earrings help draw attention to your face and neckline and are a great way to capture someone's eye.  Trends in earrings are bright feathered earrings, bold stone earrings, large metallic pieces, and bright hues.  

An easy trick to enliven an outfit you've worn a zillion times is by changing your accessories.  Exchange the earrings you wear with a dress, suit, or any look to something new, bold, and colorful.  Try colored earrings in fuchsia, deep purple, turquoise, tangerine, or green with a white, black, or neutral outfit to make your look POP!
