The Rocker Chic trend is really hot right now. Think Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders, think leather, and rock and roll. Now add a little bit of lady like chic, not quite June Cleaver, but almost! This look is for every woman, young and mature; everyone can pull this off, and here’s where jewelry can really be a great investment that can allow you to be right on trend whether you are a business woman going to a meeting, having lunch out with friends or a long weekend away. My favorite jewelry picks to get this trend into your wardrobe are by investing in a few great chain and metal pieces. Just one necklace or a stack of bracelets, paired with a leather jacket, crisp white shirt and pencil skirt or skinny jeans can help you be right on this trend!
The top 5 jewelry items that are key to the Rocker Chic trend are:
- Chains – silver, gold, oxidized, rhodium plated, gun metal colored
- Stack of bracelets -again, silver, gold, blackened, add a few diamonds or rhinestones
- Statement cocktail ring – the motif can be anything. I love an over sized oval stone, or an eclectic mix of colors and textures.
- Statement Cuff – go for bold, embellished pieces that are special and unique
- Bold, edgy earrings – rhinestones, black or gray diamonds in either clean geometrical shapes or a strong drop with an architectural feel.
Balance is critical here. If you big on chain necklaces, go for a small stud earring. If you want to go for a statement piece, go minimal on other pieces. For example, if you wear a statement cuff bracelet, balance the look with a small, simple earring. Choose one focal point. Stack your bracelets by mixing scale and texture. Always stack in odd numbers.
Also, I like sticking with either gold tone or silver tones. I think mixing in oxidized or rhodium plated pieces adds some nice depth and variety back to either silver or gold tones. Dark, smokey black tones go with everything!
