Summer 2026 Fashion and Beauty Trends Highlight Arm Bangle Craze and Top Must-Have Items
The upper‑arm jewelry trend is gaining momentum as celebrities and runway models showcase arm bangles. Zoë Kravitz wore a series of gold bands above her left elbow at a London event for British jeweler Jessica McCormack, and Vittoria Ceretti displayed a lab‑grown diamond bicep bangle from the New York label Aflalo while vacationing in Saint‑Tropez. The Balenciaga couture show for its 2026 collection in Paris featured models in striking gowns accessorised solely with crystal upper‑arm cuffs.
A curated selection of 28 fashion and beauty items is popular among “It girls” for the remaining summer months. The list includes pieces such as Adidas Gazelle indoor shoes, Reformation Tansy linen dress, Khaite mini lotus suede top‑handle bag, Olaplex No. 9 bond protector hair serum and a range of sunglasses, sandals, swimwear and lingerie from various brands.
In a personal beauty haul, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale runs through August 9, offering discounted fragrance, skincare, hair‑care and makeup tools. Brands highlighted include Paul Mitchell’s full hair‑care line and SHEGLAM’s lip stain, lash primer, eyeliner, body oil and concealer, all positioned as affordable ways to experiment with summer looks.
