Curate a collection for your wrist! Stacks of bangles have a chic, I-just-threw-this-together appeal, but there’s a method to the madness.  Keep three easy guidelines in mind to keep your “arm party” cohesive.

1. Contrast and Color – going monochrome or all gold is a safe bet, but for a little more flair, add bright contrasting colors. Orange bangles with metallic details pop against gold bracelets. (These bright tangerine numbers are from our trends worth trying page in the March issue.)

2. Proportion – mix and match shapes and sizes to keep your stack unique.

3. Spacing – don’t lump similar pieces together; alternate colors and sizes to keep things rounded out.
