Beaded jewelry is nothing new to the fashion scene, but the way its being worn certainly is. On the street and on the runway, socialites and trendsetters alike are pairing beaded bracelets and necklaces with one-off vintage pieces and classic favorites to create unique fashion forward looks.
Native American inspired beads are hot, hot, hot right now. From Megan’s Fox’s eye-catching turquoise beaded choker to Drew Barrymore’s funky beaded and chain necklaces, this look is versatile and beautiful for anyone. You might be wondering how to make this look your own. We’ve got some great suggestions for creating a signature look out of these stunning Native American inspired pieces.
The bangle bracelet is all the rage on the fashion scene right now. Take Rachel Bilson’s chic sense of style for example. She recently paired multicolored beaded cuffs and bright beaded nylon bracelets with an all black ensemble. The bracelets she wore, along with her cuffed sleeves and neutral booties gave a certain laid back sense of style. The vivid colors of the Indian designs on her bracelets offset a standard outfit. At home, you can easily take any classic piece out of your closet and update it with an inexpensive and fun beaded cuff.
For a casual look, don’t be afraid to call out your inner rocker with long multi-strand American Indian patterned necklaces. The arrow and diamond shaped designs add interest and funk. Try pairing the necklace with a t-shirt and blazer for a business casual look.
As spring and summer draw near, bright Native American necklaces and bracelets are a great way to spice up neutrals, such as peasant blouses and sundresses. Wear one at a time as a statement piece, or pile them on for maximum effect. You’ll feel like you’re on vacation, with these gorgeous cultural beads and natural cut stones.
