STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Be Chained-Down

Ever have one of those days when you put together an outfit and it just doesn’t seem complete? I know I do. To solve this annoying issue, it would be a good idea to invest in an elaborate and exotic body chain for the summer season. Whether you’re wearing a body chain to add glamour to a bathing suit or an outfit, these accessories are perfect for creating another dimension to ensembles.

Because this look is so different from the norm, expect to turn heads while wearing a body chain. We’re so accustomed to accessorizing our necks and wrists, but now Fashionistas everywhere are using these beautiful chains to accentuate their waists—a look that can be very flattering. When thinking of body chains, I think of strong and empowering women such as Rihanna and Beyoncé.

This Fashionista pairs her outfit with a simple black top which she tied at the bottom to show off a bit of skin. She also wears a black bandeau that peeps out of her shirt to add detail to the all-black look. She wears a tight, asymmetrical skirt that is draped and twisted so that only a portion of the shorter skirt is displayed. She uses her bright red nails, beautifully weaved sandals, a gold watch and rings to add some color to her outfit. The body chain plays the same role as the cherry does on top of a sundae— it finishes the look and wraps everything together quite nicely. This eye-catching ensemble is both exotic and daring, yet it’s perfect for many occasions, whether you’re going out for brunch or to a bar. Body jewelry can be added to complement any style—bohemian, chic or even a sexy look!

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “It’s all about being bold. You can make basic outfits unique by adding accessories, like I did with the gold chain around my waist.”
