Autumn And Winter Fashion Trends

It's no
secret that we love jewellery, and although our designs are modern classics,
designed to be worn year on year without ever going out of style, we also love
to keep our fingers on the fashion pulse; there's a time for classic style, and
a time for trends. The fashion world, as
well as the jewellery world, has had to adapt to the challenges we're all
facing and although sales might be down, because we're not buying clothes at
the same rate we did pre-pandemic, we can still indulge our flights of
sartorial fancy.
Some of the
key trends for autumn/winter 2020 include volume and fringing, think puffy
sleeves, fringed tassels on skirts (very Prada) and wide leg trousers. Flowing, floor length skirts and layers upon
layers of tulle for volume were all seen on the catwalk and these are
beautiful, fashion forward styles which aren't particularly practical for most
of us. Anyone who has even worn a long
skirt or long, wide leg trousers in wet weather will know just how quickly hems
can soak up moisture, wicking it all the way up your knees and creating a damp,
flappy sail. If we're staying in, we
don't need to worry about any of that, so we can enjoy our new pieces and keep
them looking their best. If you happen
to own any maxi skirts and/or palazzo pants, now is the time to wear them. Our Tassel Pearl earrings and necklace are
perfect for tapping into these trends.
Cardigans
were featured in a big way, along with check patterns and a general “geek chic”
style. These trends draw on the changing
world of work, from office working to working from home and trying to retain
that workplace atmosphere through the way we dress, as well as the brief period
that returning to the office was encouraged.
This is an easy style to wear and suits most people; you don't have to
go all the way with fully buttoned up shirts and midi skirts, you can nod to
the style with a pair of check pattern trousers, a cosy cardigan over an
otherwise modern look or a business-like, sleek ponytail. The geek look can be moderated with the use
of playful jewellery, so if you're in the mood to experiment with your look why
not combine your brightest jewellery with your geekiest clothes and see how the
contrast works. That's the other great
thing about staying in more – we don't have to brave the outside world with a
new look, we can play around in the safety of our own homes.
Colour wise,
black and red are hot news this season.
Black never goes out of style, but this year sees the return of all
black outfits, perhaps a reflection of the sombre mood that has affected 2020
many times. Red was the other standout
colour of the catwalk with bright tones being seen from almost every designer. As with the all black trend, the idea with wearing
red is to wear it head to toe, but this can be hard to pull off if you're just
popping to the supermarket. You could
mix the trends by wearing all black clothing with all red jewellery, and garnet
is one of the stones that features in many different designs, from the subtle
to the showy. If you have double lobe
piercings why not wear our Spicy Red earrings in the main lobe hole and the
Purity garnet studs in the others? Paired
with an all-black outfit (and red shoes, if you have them), this look is a
strong one.
There won't
be the office party this year, and drinks with wide social circles at the pub
are out too, but you can socialise over the internet and show off your new
looks to your friends that way; as well as try out some things you'd never dare
wear outside but would love to be seen in.
Make the most of these trends and the freedom you have to experiment
with what you already own, and perhaps a few new standout pieces you simply
can't resist.
