No matter how great your outfit is, it won’t be complete without the perfect jewelry to tie it all together. You can never underestimate the power of fine jewelry to completely transform a basic outfit from casual into something much more polished. One factor to consider when buying these investment pieces is to ensure they match with current fashion trends. Let’s explore jewelry pieces that perfectly align with the latest trending outfits.
Embrace statement sleeves with delicate bracelets
2024 is the year of the statement sleeves. You see them everywhere – whether over the runway or on the street – and they come in many forms, including oversized puffs, dramatic ruffles, and billowy bishop sleeves. Just take a look at Emma Stone’s Oscar-winning outfit for the movie poster of Poor Things, or the Museum at Fashion Institute Technology’s dedicated exhibition “Statement Sleeves” earlier this year.
To complement this design trend without overwhelming your outfit, choose bracelets or bangles with simple, minimal design. A slim solid gold bracelet like the CHANEL Coco Crush Bracelet or a stack of thin bangles like the Roberto Coin Siena 3-Row Pave Diamond Bangle is just the right finishing touch for your wrists, and won’t compete with a set of trendy sleeves.
Pair mixed prints with studs or huggies
Mixing prints continues to be popular this year, allowing fashion icons and influencers to showcase their creativity and personality through prints. In order to be successful with this trend, balance is key. If one print is big, match it with a print on a smaller scale. To avoid overwhelming the eye, look for contrasting prints in similar color schemes and textures. To accessorize these mixed prints, less is often more. A pair of classic huggies provide just the right amount of sparkle without detracting from the intricate patterns of your outfit, such as these Emerald-Cut Diamond Earrings from the Zadok Collection or the Double Open Huggie Diamond Earrings from Pomellato.
Match girlcore aesthetics with ultra-romantic jewelry
There are so many terms to refer to this microtrend (balletcore, coquette couture, or girlcore) but the essence remains the same. Think bows, rosettes, ruffles, and lace, as seen on the recent runways of Simone Rocha and Sandy Liang. To keep up with this trend, pair your favorite lacy dress or flouncy skirt with jewelry that accentuates the femininity and grace of your ensemble.
For instance, you can wear this Baguette Diamond Butterfly Ring or this Single Station Cluster Butterfly Diamond Pendant to complement the soft, ethereal aesthetics of your girlcore attire.
Subtle colors call for vibrant gemstones
While 2023 was mostly about Barbie’s hot pink, recent spring fashion runways have sparked an infatuation with colors like cherry red, powder blue, and pistachio green. The resurgence of these colors gives you the perfect opportunity to incorporate vibrant gemstone rings for women in your current jewelry rotation. Opt for statement pieces such as these Oval Ruby & Diamond Ring, Iris Blue Sapphire and Aquamarine Fashion Ring, and Emerald Orbit Ring.
Pairing fine jewelry with 2024’s fashion trends is all about balance and harmony. No matter what design trend you are going to follow, make sure to pair it with a piece of fine jewelry to elevate your overall look.
