From the catwalks to the most prominent Instagram accounts, stacking, or the accumulation of jewelry, is a trend that has been asserting itself and enduring for several seasons now. Because creating beautiful harmony can't be improvised, let's take a look back at a few basics for mixing and stacking your MATY jewelry.
Accumulation, a trendy mix & match
Jewelry stacking is now a must-have trend, whatever your style. Glamorous, chic, rock, bohemian... layering your outfits with necklaces or fine rings adds that little something extra that makes all the difference to your look. While matching styles is essential, mixing shapes, thicknesses and materials often produces the most beautiful effect, as long as a few principles are respected, which we'll review below.
Focus on ring accumulation
When it comes to stacking, ring stacking is the easiest to implement. You can start testing this trend on your hands and build up gradually. Superimpose minimalist models, alternate thin rings, solitaires and larger rings... there are many possibilities, as long as you vary the shapes and don't accumulate jewels in the same places on all your fingers. Don't forget the rings to be placed on the phalanges, and let yourself be tempted by the combination of materials, for example by mixing gold and silver rings.
Accumulation of bracelets
In addition to rings and mixtures of gold and silver necklaces, bracelets are also a good alternative for a chic or rock style. Fine chains, cuff bracelets, mesh bracelets and even leather bracelets are ideal for harmonizing styles and shapes on the wrist or arm. Similarly, in summer, think about layering bracelets, pendants and anklets to vary the pleasures and create a bohemian or romantic style. Last but not least, try your hand at earring accumulation, to assert your originality in a discreet or more daring way!
The art of necklace layering
This is certainly the most visible aspect of the layering trend (another name for the accumulation of necklaces, rings, chains, etc.): necklace layering is all the rage today. The ideal way to start? Combine necklaces of different lengths, from chokers to long necklaces, small chains or pendants. If starting with thin necklaces is recommended to maintain a classic style, you can then learn to alternate between chains of different widths and, ultimately, of different materials... but try to maintain a certain harmony between the models you choose. In addition, limit yourself to a maximum of 5 to 7 necklaces, to avoid excess or visual overload!
Blending shapes and materials with style
How to accumulate jewelry successfully?
To superimpose jewels harmoniously, start with a sober or minimalist outfit: a good starting point for making jewels stand out and avoiding the faux pas of patterned or overly complex garments. In summer, following this trend is all the easier as outfits become lighter: a good way to create a boho chic or casual look. In winter, use jackets and off-the-shoulder shirts to add necklaces, or superimpose rings and bracelets. Finally, don't overdo it: you can't accumulate necklaces, rings, bracelets and earrings all at once!
Can gold and silver be mixed?
In the past, mixing gold and silver jewelry was considered bad taste. But today, the stacking trend is overturning these preconceived ideas! To achieve this combination of gold and silver, or to mix gold or silver with other metals and materials, all you need to do is choose jewels of the same style. Conversely, jewels in different styles can be perfectly combined if they are made from the same metal. Finally, to get started without risk, choose minimalist pieces first. Thanks to these simple rules, you're sure to succeed in your jewelry accumulation by mixing the pieces you already own with models from the MATY collections!
