Add some bold summer flare to just about any outfit with a lucite bangle bracelet. Designers such as Alexis Bittar are using lucite in summer bracelet designs, and less-expensive versions are easy to find. You gotta love their vintage charm and bold design.

If you’re wondering what exactly lucite is, you are not alone. Until recently, many (including myself) had not heard the term. According to Wikipedia, lucite is more commonly known as acrylic, and is commonly used as an alternative to glass. I love it because it’s strong but fairly lightweight.

My favorite way to wear a lucite bangle bracelet is with a bold summer dress, like a color blocked dress. I’m loving the style expertise that BrokeandBeautiful.com shared regarding pairing a color blocked dress with a thick lucite bangle. A bright, thick lucite bangle can add a punch of color to a plainer outfit, too. And my ultimate favorite is lucite bangles with Swarovski Crystals - that extra sparkle really makes the entire outfit stand out.
