Spring 2009 Jewelry Trends: Bracelets

Want to know what the best dressed wrists will be wearing this spring? Here’s the latest bracelet trends for Spring 2009. Nothing enhances the look of a well manicured hand than a beautifully designed bracelet. Bracelets will take on new importance for Spring 2009 fashion with the appearance of a variety of fashions with three quarter inch sleeves. These sleeves are designed to call attention to the wrists and hands. So what types of bracelets will capture the fashion spirit of spring 2009? Here are some of the very best bracelet trends for spring:

Bracelet trend: Chunky bangles

Bangle bracelets will take center stage as wrists become more exposed this spring and you won’t want to stop with just one. The spring 2009 fashion shows showed models and celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and Kate Hudson sporting several chunky bangles at a time as they pranced down the runway. Gold and silver layered bangles were popular with many of the bracelets having unusual hammered and polished textures as well as metal embellishments. Also seen were stacks of bangle bracelets with a primitive, tribal theme in natural colors such as taupe and brown. Although many of the runway models sported bracelets extending up their arms, this look may be a bit overdone for work or office. Investing in a few textured metal bracelets in gold and silver should keep you covered for office wear.

Bracelet trend: Cuff bracelets

Another popular bracelet theme that will carry over into spring is the cuff bracelet. Again, cuff bracelets were often seen stacked on top of another to make an even more dramatic fashion statement. Similar to the bangle bracelet, cuff bracelets for spring were often heavily textured with added embellishments such as metal studs. One interesting theme was broad cuff bracelets that could double as a watch.

Bracelet trend: Lucite bracelets

With the popularity of color in fashion for spring 2009, it’s not surprising that lucite bracelets will be popular. You’ll find them in a variety of bold and brilliant colors in keeping with this season’s emphasis on bright yellow, hot pink, and orange color trends.
