Style is about the look. It’s not just about wearing the right clothes. It’s about the entire theme. Since the beginning of time, fashion has been used to make a statement. Whether you admit it or not, what you wear creates an impression on people. Your own style, your personal choice to pick that dress or skirt, is your way of speaking to the world.
So what are you saying?
Even the most conservative and introverted people speak the language of fashion. We can make that voice a little louder with statement pieces – in particular, chunky jewelry. This particular trend has been going strong for the last few years, and with good reason. Anyone – and yes, anyone – can pull this look off. Barkadas can shine; each member wearing a different piece but still being united under the same fashion style. Chunky jewelry can take any outfit to the next level.
Speaking of barkadas, we’ve listed down a few stylish tips for each member of your squad.

The Casual Chic Mama
This is the girl who looks effortlessly sexy in a t-shirt. A bit boyish, but still feminine. She is your go-to girl for practical advice. She normally ties her hair in a ponytail.
We said she looks good in a shirt, right? Well, convince her to wear one with a v-neckline. A statement necklace, especially one with a tiered structure that follows the shape of the shirt, adds dimension and emphasizes the collar area. Think this is only meant for women with nice necks? Think again. A classic, chunky, bib necklace creates the illusion of a longer neck. A fantastically sparkly piece can be toned down with a neutral shirt and a messy up-do.

The Professional
When she says meet her at 6:15, she really means 6:15! Time is important for her and she gets antsy when people are late. “Hoy, sa’an ka na?” is a typical text.
We really need to change the concept that bring polished means being boring. You can pair a button-up blouse with a statement necklace around the collar. This adds just the right amount of spice to an outfit while still keeping a professional look. Match the look with a jacket of the same shade as the necklace. Hello, sophisticated chic!

Funky Maverick
She’s everyone’s favorite. Her style is eclectic (and sometimes you wonder what in the world she’s thinking). Regardless, you love her free style and spirit.
The more, the merrier! There really is no rule to chunky jewelry. Try layering a couple of necklaces together to make an even bigger statement. This takes a lot of experimentation. Work out which combination works best with each other. We’d recommend pairing smaller necklaces with a statement piece for more balance. Or, heck, layer two chunky necklaces (of different colors) together to really make an impact.

The Elegant Maven
Ay, jusko Lord. This woman looks stylish no matter what she wears. She’s always put together. You sometimes wonder if she’s bionic. She would still look classy in a trash bag.
Some dresses or tops are really detailed or cover most of the chest area. You can completely skip out on statement necklaces. Instead, go with chunky earrings. These items still create a complete and accessorized look. Long-tiered earrings paired with a maxi dress, for example, give the illusion of length. Women look longer and leaner, not to mention fabulously sexy. Pair a neutral colored top or dress with brighter earrings for more pop.

The Baby
We all love her. She is bottled innocence, your little sunshine. Her clothes mostly have lace and she’s always very happy to see you. She may have a lot of “boyfriends” but that’s because she treats everyone as if they’re already part of her family.
You are not limited to statement necklaces or earrings. Chunky jewelry extends to rings, bracelets, and even arm bands. Women are not limited to traditional style concepts. An off-shoulder dress may beg to have earrings or necklaces, but you can resist the temptation! Instead, match these with cool rings. Rings give off a more masculine vibe, which balances a feminine outfit. Keeping certain areas bare also draws more attention to the jewelry.
