6 Killer Arm Party Starter Kits

Mimi + Meg blogger Meg Biram shows you how to nail the wrist-to-elbow-bracelets look no matter what your personal style.

Raise your hand if you’ve heard the term arm party (it’s probably a very heavy hand if you have). Coined by Leandra Medine, the quick-to-fame Man Repeller blogger, it means a large collection of bracelets, bangles, and sometimes watches, and it’s all over the fashion blogosphere. Intrigued by the trend but not sure where to start? Here’s a few collections to jump off from. We’ve curated by style (classic, boho, edgy, glam, modern, and minimalist included), but feel free to mix the different categories together to make it your own! Bracelets are credited clockwise.

Bright colors and friendship bracelets feel effortless, and add interest when worn with a carefree outfit.
