CP - Chained up


This style is all about jewelry or accessories with a chain-like quality. The chain can be chunky and edgy or slim and elegant. You can find them in an array of metals ranging from gold to sterling silver and even steel. The trend of chains has always been associated with rebellion. In the 70s, chains were associated with the radical motorcycle culture and hippie-style living. Actually, chain trends go back centuries ago. Today designers blend this traditional motif with a modern twist. Chains can be designed to look aggressive or subtle.


The neck chain from Kenneth Jay features a tough metal chain, which can be added to balance a feminine outfit. This necklace is made from silver and has a hook to give you a fit close to the neck. It is more of a prison style that can be worn with fashion forward outfits to create a feminine look. Wear it with a floral spring dress or a peasant top to show off your elegant and yet bold style. If you want to sport the “don’t mess with me” look, opt for versatile chain belts. This chain belt from Guess is studded and twisted.


You can also pick leather belts with removable rhinestone and chain links. You can sport them during the evening for club wear. It’s a cool accessory to dress up your cowboy outfit when you go riding or even for a hike or trek. As a rule of thumb, keep this belt miles away from your formal pants and trousers. You can experiment with the chain style on your wrists too. John Hardy bracelets offer a range of both chunky and delicate bracelets. Girls can pick something with stones or diamonds.


There are some sturdy pieces available for men too in both leather and metal. The chain style looks great on the arms too. A snake chain armlet looks great on toned and tan arms. You can exquisite gold or silver it to dress up your evening gown or simply go with leather or steel during the day.
