When it comes to accessory trends, no one has their finger on the pulse quite like Gen Z. I spotted this experimental set wearing bag charms, anklets, and beaded jewelry months ago, and now, these buzzy items are everywhere. But, as you know, trends move quickly and I'm already looking for the next big thing, so I've tapped a few Gen Z friends to share their insight on the latest wrist-stacking trend. It's all about layering the right metals, textures, and shapes, and personalizing them to match your unique style. The ways you can arrange bracelets and watches are endless, but every stack looks good with pieces from Movado. The brand's collection of luxe yet approachable watches and jewelry is perfect for layering. To see how to style this up and coming accessory trend, keep reading.
"When it comes to layering jewelry, watches make a great anchor for a wrist stack. I love how this new generation is having fun and expressing themselves through fashion and accessories. Stacking jewelry isn't going anywhere—especially for summer. Movado's watches (I'm partial to the Museum Bangle) and jewelry fit perfectly into this trend, with styles that layer effortlessly with other pieces." — Monica San Luis, content creator
"These Movado pieces are perfect for the maximalist jewelry-wearers because they are super easy to style with other accessories. I'm loving bangle bracelets for the summer, and stacking a Movado watch was the perfect finishing touch." - Dannaed Garcia, content creator
"My summer style is all about effortless layering with a touch of minimal luxury. Think flowy fabrics, oversize button-downs over crop tops, baggy denim shorts, and chunky sneakers or sleek sandals. I definitely lean into Gen Z trends—like quiet luxury meets Y2K revival—and the jewelry stacking trend is a big part of that. I love mixing delicate pieces with bold ones—layering thin gold chains with chunkier rose-gold pieces, stacking mixed-metal rings, and, of course, styling my look around a standout watch like the Movado bangle. Its minimalist design makes it the perfect base piece to build around." — Ana Escalante, associate features editor
