The Tribal look is a guaranteed winner every summer and this season is no differerent. With stand-out prints everywhere from ASOS’s ‘Africa’ collection, to bright pattered jeans at Marc by Marc Jacobs, a little slice of tribal is sure to make its way into your wardrobe. In jewellery the tribal look means one thing: beads.
Think bold and clashing: tropical colours mix with browns and khakis, while unusual shapes and patterns give a further dimension to the look. With its contemporary twist and mutlicolour beaded triangles, Brokenfab’s ‘neo-tribal’ jewellery is perfect for the streets of East London and beyond…

If you prefer your colours simple and chic, try Pebble’s black beaded necklace, with its tiny splashes of orange beads. This necklace looks great with khakis, wedges and a grey t-shirt, as do Wishes Upon Stitches’ ‘Firework’ earrings, which hint at Native American headdresses.

If you love the high street then look to Accessorize for a never-ending selection of bold, tribal-inspired, beaded pieces. While their necklaces rule for choice, the on-going trend for layered friendship bracelets is carried perfectly by Accessorize’s ‘Mexican Tash’ bracelet set, while younger tribal fans will love the ‘Aztec Rave’ drop earrings.

The bright blue Iolite gemstones of Robindira Unsworth’s ‘Pebble’ ring makes this the top choice if you want to approach the tribal look subtley, with something you can wear next season. Team this with Oasis‘ fabulous white ‘Amazonian’ seed bead necklace and you have tribal chic. All we need now is a sunny beach holiday!
