The materials that are going to be fashionable this season include plain metals, semi precious stones in warm colors and shades and also environment friendly materials like wood, bone and shells. The color palette this season will be inspired from Mother Earth with a lot of light shades, pastels and nudes.
The chunky jewellery, statement neckpieces and bold chokers of the last season has seen its way out and in comes the thin and delicate strands to adorn your neck and wrists. One top designer mentioned that the accessories this season are all about celebrating feminity and hence has to be charming and graceful. There is also a lot of importance given to recycled and natural materials this year like bamboo and pearls. So keep away your heavy chokers and instead grace your neck with a single strand of fresh water pearls for an elegant and stylish look.
Pearls are going to be big and a hit this season especially with these being available in all sizes and colors. Do not restrict yourself to the ivory colored ones; instead go in for the pinks and yellows and the occasional black pearls to jazz up any outfit. Pearl jewellery invokes a sense of hope and simplicity yet is stylish to make a fashion statement every time you wear it. These accessories are also extremely versatile and can be paired with any outfit be it a formal business suit or an elegant cocktail gown.
Another trendy look this season will be the vintage and antique pieces; these never seem to go out of style. So if you do not own a piece already, rummage in your mother's or grandmother's jewellery box for some simple yet eye catching pieces. There are many retail shops now specializing in vintage accessories and these are best when teamed with period costumes or simple outfits which let you flaunt the jewellery.
Blue is stated to be the main color of this year; peaceful and relaxing. Go in for those sky blue or aqua colored semi precious stones; you can either go in for a neckpiece with a strand of small stones or wear a single, large stone on a delicate gold or silver chain. The chandeliers and hoops are back once again to adorn your ears so let your neck go bare and the ears do all the talking. But the highlight firmly remains on natural and eco friendly materials so pick up as many pieces as you can to wear with your pretty summer dresses.
Keep these trends in mind while purchasing jewellery this year to step out in style.
