The bright colors, bold choices and homage to punk rock are back and in full effect with chunky necklaces and bracelets this season. I like to think of the 80s as a time for fun fashion, great music and getting noticed. (I mean, who wouldn’t notice a pair of liquid leggings paired with a tie dye shirt and blue eye shadow?)  Today, the 80s has helped to inspire some of the great fashion and jewelry trends on the market.

Candy colored beads, acrylic geometric stones, neon plastic and studded leather are all making a comeback in the form of free spirited necklaces and bracelets. This is a trend that you’ll probably want to save for your night out on the town, as opposed to sporting lime green bangles or a punk-rock leather cuff to the office, but I suppose that all depends on your definition of ‘business casual’.

If you’re daring enough to sport the latest and greatest in 80s retro jewels, then here’s what you need to know:

It’s Okay to Wear Neon – A hot pink cuff, electric blue bracelet or day-glow raspberry ring will only add personality and interest to your outfit. Use these funky colors as accent pieces to complete a look. Try wearing a bright neon yellow necklace with an all black ensemble. The odds are: your friends will remember the great necklace, not the outfit.

Rock On – Call on your inner rock star to try out some of the punk jewelry trends that were made famous by Madonna and Stevie Nicks.  Incorporate a studded necklace with other sterling silver jewelry for a pulled together look.

Do the Math – Geometric shapes, especially for bold bangles are back in a big way. Square and triangular bracelets define a daring approach to a common outfit. Mixing and matching these shapes in encouraged.
