Midi rings are a fun and
festive way to make a fashion statement without committing to a totally new
wardrobe. Like typical rings, but generally smaller in circumference so that
that they can sit higher on the finger, midi rings can be worn above or below your
knuckles, or even hover near your fingertip. Versatile and varied, you can find
midi rings to pair with casual and formal looks, and you can also mix and match
your midis for nearly limitless combinations. Read on for tips on how to
embrace this look and keep your finger (pun intended!) on the pulse of this new
trend.
Dress
It Up...Or Dress It Down
Midi rings are a great
accessory to choose to accompany formal looks, laid back casual outfits, or
even office wear. You can find midi rings in a number of different styles,
metals and widths, and depending on how you combine them, you can create a
number of different layered looks with the same selection of rings.
If you're interested in a
dressier look, think dainty gold or silver rings to add just a glint of shine
to your fingers. A trio of thin bands stacked above the knuckle of one finger
can add interest to an otherwise simple outfit. You can also try wearing single
thin bands at different points on your fingers to create an elegant pattern
across your fingers.
If you want to go a
little funkier, try wearing a few chunky statement rings that feature bold
colorful stones, beads, or eye catching metals. Wearing a slim ring above a
larger ring can draw the eye to both, creating a dynamic effect that is greater
than the sum of its parts!

Figure
Out Your Focal Point
Whether you opt to go
elegant or exotic, it's important to choose a clear focal point on each hand
before putting together your look. Do you want to draw attention to a single
finger and layer all your rings there? Or, do you want to try pairing pieces at
different heights to create interesting shapes? Play with what looks best on
you; we all have different finger shapes, so there is no one way to pull off a
midi ring style.
Adding glints of sparkle and
color to the knuckles of each finger with a dozen midi rings can be a playful
way to incorporate cutting edge style to an otherwise conservative outfit.
Conversely, you can go bold with your sartorial choices and stick to a simple
midi look that emphasizes a single metal type and similar shaped rings. Try
pairing a geometrically patterned silver cuff with a matching statement ring,
and continue the look by adding a single band to another finger. This will draw
the eye from your wrist to your fingertip, giving you the appearance of long,
slender hands.
Show
Some Skin
Many midi rings offer a
"barely there" look that can be a fun, flirty way to add interest
without adding a lot of weight to your fingers. Try selecting a style that
spirals around your knuckle. This will provide the height of a chunky ring
without the weight. You can also try choosing a ring with an open shape;
instead of forming a closed loop around your finger, the piece simply hugs the
finger like a cuff. These cuff style midi rings often feature attractive
detailing like metallic stars, circles, miniature diamonds, or other precious
stones.
Follow
Your Heart
Finally, it's important
to note that whichever midi ring look you choose, you should be true to your
own unique style. There are so many ways to wear midi rings, and so many
beautiful rings to choose from, so you're sure to find something that appeals
to your own personal sense of taste. This trend also appears
to have some staying power; celebs have been spotted with stacked rings on the
red carpet and in their daily lives, and more and more every day fashion plates
are choosing to sport these unique, alluring rings. More than just a cool way
to draw attention to your new manicure, midi rings offer a chance to showcase a
lot of jewelry at once, without being overwhelming. Mix and match your rings,
change the direction of your pointed rings, or switch up your favorite finger
to focus on, and you'll end up with a total departure that might just become
your new normal!
