CUFF PARADE


So unless you’ve been in concentration camp or sleeping the beauteous sleep, you can’t have missed the trend of the last few seasons – the cuff. Any metro bred girl who grew up during the 80’s will scoff at it being called a ‘trend’, for she knows this accessory has been around for decades. Truth be told, this iconic accessory can trace its origins back to 7,000 across Egypt, Greece, Rome among other countries, and hasn’t gone anywhere since!

So, ignore her and get ready to ride the bracelet wave, for it’s surely here to stay. Wear ‘em loud and proud, stack ‘em up or choose a single highlight piece – whatever you do, do it with a cuff.

Here are a few tips to take this fashion accessory to keep that style quotient scorching…

1.       Double the fun by doubling the cuff. Make sure you wear the exact identical accessory on each wrist, lest you end up looking like Pummy aunty next door with her ever so many gold kadas.

2.       Step into the shoes of princess Leia by flaunting the gold hammered cuff. Edgy and fierce – this accessory is sure to acquaint you with your wild side. You can order them online on several sites including www.etsy.com

3.       Brace yourself for the bracelet trend. Hermes and Tods have stocked these darling leather accessories at their stores and online.

4.       Ear me out – Just in case you’ve been thinking of this update as a pointless archaic one, let me introduce you to the ear cuff. Comfortable wraps around your ear all the way till the lobe, the ear cuff comes in all shapes and sizes now. What’s more, you don’t need pierced ears to strut in them. Just pull your hair back, take off your regular earrings and put these on. Just don’t go OTT on other jewellery and you’ll definitely make a statement, wherever you go!
 

5.       Embellished with jems and jewels, well fed and skinny, cream and coloured, you’re sure to find a plethora of these silver babies everywhere you go. Walk in to a store at Janpath or log on to www.asos.com  - you will undoubtedly meet your beloved cuff bracelet there.
