Shopping for Body Chains

This summer, body chains are back and sexier than before. It might sound weird but it is actually a really subtle jewelry piece that doesn’t look vampy.

Still you have to know how to pick a body chain in order to not waste money on designs that won’t look good on you or on ones you will wear only once.

Fine or custom body chains?

This depends on your budget and also your jewelry preferences. If most of your jewelry is made of precious metals, you will surely want your body chain to be similar. They are more expensive but the quality can’t be compared. Custom jewelry is much cheaper - you can get a body chain for as low as $5.

Beads, crystals or charms?

Simple is always the best way to go, but there are very cute designs adorned with beads, crystals or charms. Go for neutral colors when it comes to stones in order to be able to wear it several times, not just with one outfit.

1, 2, 3 or even more chain rows?

The most popular designs have two rows and and another one that links the two. One around the neck, another one around the waist and then a single chain that links between. There are many complicated varieties but you should try them on before buying them. Even if it sounds weird, wearing body chains that aren’t fit for your silhouette will distort your body shape, optically of course.

Now that you found your favorite piece of jewelry, how could you wear it?

You can wear at the beach with a two piece bikini or even a monokini. The secret if you get the front linking chain under your swimsuit. This way you will have more freedom in movement and you won’t break it that fast.

Wear it with short jeans and a crop top. Try mixing lace or sheer chiffon for a stylish outfit.
