How To Wear Cool Colours In Autumn

When we think
of autumn our minds immediately turn to the russet hues of the changing leaves,
the warm tones of an open fire and cosy nights in. We don't often associate cool colours like
greens and blues with the autumn – they're more of a spring and summer colour,
but can we wear these colours effectively all year round?
With the
right styling you can make any colour look good at any time of year; it's all
in the colours you wear, and sometimes the weather. On a crisp autumn day the sky can take on
some gorgeous shades of blue, sometimes more deeply than in the summer, so
these days are ideal for piling on the topaz and complementing the natural
world around you. If you're out for a
walk on these lovely days you might be wrapped up in some layers, so opt for a
pair of bold blue earrings that can still be seen when you’re wrapped up in
your hat and coat.
Our Wild
Spirit earrings encapsulate the feeling of the season, with their sparkling
blue topaz nestled in a swirling sterling silver mount. The mount evokes the feelings of icy winds
while the blue matches a clear autumn sky.
These beautiful earrings have a little movement as they dangle from a
cubic zirconia stud, but they're also smooth so there's no risk of them getting
caught up in a scarf. The matching
necklace really sets these earrings off, and if you're going on a walk to a
country pub you can reveal the necklace when you take off your coat.
Our Viola
Blue earrings also nod to the weather, with associations with Shakespeare's Twelfth
Night and the storms that shipwreck our heroine. Worn on a wet, windy autumn day these will
work perfectly and the blues and purple tones in a stormy sky complement the
bright, rich blue of the topaz. These
are stud earrings with some shape, but no movement so they're ideal for wearing
with scarves and high necklines.
If you favour
something with a larger stone, then our Spicy Blue earrings (with a matching
necklace) are for you. Like the Viola
pair these don't dangle, so they are also ideal for wearing with layers. These bold earrings, styled with a smart
casual outfit, will create the perfect weekend look that can take you from
brunch with the family right through to a Sunday roast with friends and a
nightcap to finish off the weekend in style.
Greens can
also be styled for an autumnal look – the associations with Christmas mean that
green is quite a prominent seasonal colour.
Save the green gems for after Bonfire Night when the Christmas season
really gets going and enjoy playing with the way green and red enhance each
other. Our Duo Vert earrings are ideal
for Christmas parties and get-together with the family, while the Orbit
birthstone earrings are modern studs which can bring a flavour of the season to
your look without drawing attention away from your favourite Christmas jumper.
Just because
summer is over, it doesn't mean we have to stash our green and blue gemstone
jewellery away for six months, we can adapt pieces for a gorgeous seasonal look
and make the most of our jewellery collection all year round.
