I don’t know how to describe it, but I feel like there are stacks that look so great and effortless like the wearer has natural style. Then there are stacks that just look a little stiffer and deliberate. Despite reading this forum as my primary hobby over several years (yes I just admitted that) I feel like my VCA/Cartier stacks still look pretty deliberate. If I’m making sense to anyone here here :lol: is there a trick to making the stack look more … (I feel like there’s a better word I’m too tired to come up with here but…) natural?

I absolutely love stacks and spend hours playing around and analyzing my stacks and others. I will tell you that the natural style stack look we all strive for actually takes a lot of work to achieve. You have to establish a vision for this natural looking stack and play around with pieces to achieve this. Establish your base pieces and build from there. I would love to see your existing stack if you wouldn’t mind sharing.

I have to agree, some stacks look amazing. I’m sure yours looks great. Post a photo and let us all enjoy and help :)

I’m struggling with my stack as before I used to stack my Vca yg hammered bracelet wth my juc and other delicate pieces . But ever since I started wearing my love bracelet next to juc …the hammered bracelet doesn’t go at all ..I feel like the juc and love, look very modern and simply and edgy whist the hammered looks more intricate and delicate so doesn’t pair well . Dilemma is I usually wear my watch on right wrist …so trying to figure out how to wear my hammered gold bracelet and now wondering if I should have gone for the onyx one as it wud hav looked more modern wth juc and love stack

I think I know what you mean. the best stacks I see are usually action shots that feel less contrived and are more a part of an overall look. Mod shots are super useful for detail and identification but seeing something actually being worn by a person living life tends to capture the style better than an arm laid across a steering wheel.

You have some great pieces. I think it’s the order of the stack that’s making it all feel jumbled. I would say to try to wear juc behind love. In front of love put tennis then an Alhambra and see how that combo looks.

Hmmm…. Good point. When you’re stacking multiple hard bangles I guess order does matter.

The juc will only fit at start of wrist as I chose a close fit so it wouldn’t move so much during work , it was my first piece
