A charm-covered wrist adds a whimsical, lighthearted feel to an otherwise elegant demeanor. Whether you choose a ready-to-wear version or collect your own charms, this fun accessory is the perfect formalwear addition.

1. Big Baubles

Shopbop.com
With sweet beads coupled with a sassy tassel, this isn't an everyday kind of bracelet. Save this for special occasions where you won't be typing, driving, writing... or doing anything that requires the use of your hands.

2. Good Luck Charms

Nordstrom.com
A modern girl's good luck charms - ladybugs, flowers, and hearts - show up one single bracelet, promising oodles of good fortune (prom queen, perhaps?). The addition of colorful stones make this a great choice no matter what color your dress is.

3. Whimsical Colors

Channel your inner child and invest in a ritzy grown-up version of your favorite Hello Kitty adornment. For a wallet-friendly fix, simply raid your little sister's dress-up jewels. We won't tell if you don't.

4. Hammered Gold

A little lapiz adds an edginess to a charm bracelet; in three different shades of blue, this would look stunning with everything from pink to orange to, you guessed it, blue.

5. Baubles

Nordstrom.com
What looks like a handful of bracelets is actually one incredibly glamorous cuff with adorable bubble gum-size colorful balls.

6. Vintage

Nordstrom.com
If grandma doesn't have any antique charm bracelets to borrow, opt for the next best thing: a faux-vintage gem filled with adorable, eye-catching danglies.

7. Filigree Flowers

Bluefly.com
This set of ten braided, twisted bangles adorned with filigree flower charms, perfect for dancing to the beat of your own drum on the dance floor.

8. Fringe

Shopbop.com
In a nod to seventies hippie chic, fringe in the form of a bracelet would look just right paired with a bright jewel tone dress.
