Pinstyle: Arm Swag

Everyone could update their style with an extra dose of swagger. One of the easiest and quickest way to make an outfit “dripping in Swagu” is to embrace the arm swag/candy trend.

It’s an accessories party and everyone is invited!

Arm swag allows you to show off your entire bracelet collection, and overdoing it is key. Create bundles of bracelets — braided, studded, pyramidal, beaded, bangles, cuffs, chains — wear them all! Double up on your watches, layer and stack your favorite chains, leather and friendship bracelets. Whatever you can find, throw it on your wrist! Don’t be afraid to go wild either, the more the better.

With a weighted down swaggin’ wrist, you may want to balance out the rest of your look by throwing in some awesomely cool chunky rings and men-inspired watches.

Bracelets were originally worn by ancient Roman and Greek soldiers as leather straps, which were embellished with gold, silver or beads. These arm bands were called “bracels” from a Latin word meaning “arm.” And like any good idea, the style was soon adopted by women in these societies who modified the look to fit their smaller arms and wrists, as well as the name, which became “bracelets.”

And the rest is history!
