Dainty jewelry has been having its moment for years now. I have a small collection of pretty stud earrings, barely there necklaces and even a permanent bracelet that’s a simple gold chain around my wrist—and I love them all! The tides have been turning, however, and we’re now seeing jewelry getting larger, chunkier, and way more fun than what it was before.
Maximalism is in, and the right accessories can make or break your outfit! A simple white tee and jeans can be instantly elevated with a stack of bangles, a bold statement earring—or both. Feeling the urge to get more daring and playful with your style? Here are four ways to spice up your looks and add some fresh flair to your accessory collection.
Add A Ring To Every Finger
This is not the time to play it safe by simply wearing a wedding band, or a single ring on one hand. Rings on multiple fingers will compliment a wrist full of bangles, and paired with a stunning manicure? It’s like an instant confidence boost. Put a ring on every finger! Pair statement rings with thinner bands to keep everything balanced, and even consider stacking multiple rings on a single finger. Certain Mejuri rings are made for stacking, you can purchase them as a set, or simply mix and match as you like. My favorites include the Organic Dôme Thin Nesting Ring and both the Puffy Charlotte Ring and Dôme Ring.
Wear Statement Earrings
Earring trends this year are leaning bold and chunky. You’ve probably been seeing 80s inspired studs, and sculptural shapes adorning ear lobes and jewelry shelves all this year. I personally feel incomplete if I don’t have earrings in my ears, and statement earrings can truly make your outfit. The good news is this maximalist trend feels highly wearable—sculptural earrings don’t have to be gigantic to make a statement. I love wearing my Heaven Mayhem knot earrings, which you can snag yourself at Indigo Octopus. Mejuri’s Mega Dôme Earrings are also a total vibe, and look fantastic dressed up or down.
Stack Your Wrists With Bracelets
Now is the time to put your delicate bracelets to the side. Instead of dainty chains, embrace large bangles, metal cuffs and oversized bracelets. More is more! I personally love mixing metals, and pairing Mejuri’s Dôme Figure Cuff with a small gold watch is a great way to mix and match. If you’re not quite ready for a bangle as large as this one, this cuff comes in a smaller size and is fantastic for stacking. If your wrists start to jingle as you walk—take that as a good sign.
Make Your Collarbone Opulent
Statement necklaces are making a comeback. They’re a little more chic than the chunky necklaces we millennials used to wear in high school, but they’re just as fun. Just like bracelets and rings, don’t be afraid to layer your necklaces—a mix of dainty chains and larger statement pieces will keep things balanced. Or go big and bold and toss balance to the curb. This tidal chain necklace features large, circular links or stack this Bold Herringbone Chain Necklace with a Zodiac pendant necklace.
No matter your preference, take this as your sign to be a little more fearless with your jewelry choices this fall. Take a walk on the wild side—you never know, you might love it!
