For several seasons, jewelry fashion has been accumulating.
But where does this fad come from?
Why is pairing jewelry so trendy again?
Impossible to have missed them on your Instagram feed.
Real trend of the social network, these photos of wrists, arms or necks adorned and tanned, captioned with a #stacking (stacking), are the reflection of a "new" fashion behavior: the superposition of bracelets , rings or even necklaces.
If the wrists are adorned with numerous rushes, bracelets or cuffs, a ring is placed on each finger and we accumulates its necklaces to constitute a single finery.
But beware, all this is still very thoughtful to create harmony!
The history of the stacking trend
If it is all the rage today, it is not the first time that this trend has taken hold.
In the 1920s, the orientalist movement fashionable, brings with it the idea of accumulating jewelry, as seen in African, Indian and Asian cultures for centuries.
The women of the time were inspired by it, therefore began to wear opulent and ostentatious fancy adornments, allowing them to emancipate themselves from the strict codes of Western fine jewelry, but also to celebrate the Roaring Twenties.
In the 70s it was Loulou de la Falaise , officiating at Yves Saint Laurent, who puts this fad back on the front of the stage.
This iconic chic and bohemian aristocrat is inspired by her own style and democratizes the mixture of gold and silver, from contemporary pieces to vintage or orientalist, from real to fake... All worn with a simple white shirt or a black turtleneck and jeans.
The great return of jewelry hoarding
For several years, fashion has been for minimalist and basic clothing, which takes us back to the fashion of the 90s .
A fashion less festive and more masculine than that of the 2000s, which gives pride of place to jewelry in order to express its personality and femininity.
Everything is allowed when it comes to mixing styles, metals, stones or even jewelery and fantasy, to create your own style on the white t-shirt + jeans uniform.
A great creative freedom very common on the catwalks of the biggest fashion houses.
Evidenced by the catwalk looks and their pearl necklaces mixed with curb chains and baroque cross pendants... the designers like to mix necklaces or collect the rings .
We are promised a neck adorned with multiple chockers for next winter, or forearms armed with a skilful mix of bracelets and mismatched bangles, as well as large cabochon rings on each of our fingers to bring the dog to an elegant black silhouette.
But before talking again about winter, let's note that we are wearing more and more summer jewelry even on the sand.
Like not leaving her personality in the beach cabin and accessorizing her swimsuit. Gris-gris, ankle bracelets, necklaces of colored stones, metal that contrasts with the tan... Is there anything more desirable than a accumulation of jewelry for the summer ?
