Marni Ribbon-Tie Brass Mesh Cuff: Just Like a Woman

What says, “I’m a girlie-girl and don’t you mess with me!” (and we’ve all got a bit of both in us) better than a big cuff that’s equal parts hard and soft? This chainmail-esque mesh with an oversized bow is quirky in only a way Marni can do it. The textural mesh detail is irregular, and that disorder is needed to offset such a delicate look – or else it would be more prissy than progressive. It’s so tactile that it kind of reminds me of an ornate abacus – the rows of knotted gold-tone brass all stacked up. We know opposites attract, but who thought hard metal and soft ribbon would make such a killer duo? On Net-a-Porter for $640.

Pair with: Iro’s distressed boucle blazer is Chanel gone bad, in such a good way! Jam the cropped sleeves up to show off the cuff, and don’t worry about matching – you’re too cool for it anyhow. IRO “Agnette” Jacket, $407.
