Summer to Fall: Transitioning Your Jewelry Style

Just like you transition your summer wardrobe when the weather cools off in the autumn, it's also a great time to update your jewelry pieces for the fall season. The great news is that you don't have to entirely overhaul your jewelry collection. Many of your favorite summer pieces can be matched with your autumn clothing choices for a seasonal shift that is on trend and makes the transition from summer that much easier. 

What to Consider When Choosing Seasonal Jewelry

Beyond your own personal style, there are some things to keep in mind when you consider a seamless transition from summer to fall as you choose both your clothes and your jewelry. 

The Summer Palette: Light and Warm

Capturing the feelings of summer is the goal when you choose the perfect summer accessories. That includes items that are bright colors, floral-themed, and lightweight materials that don't weigh you down. They evoke carefree summer vibes and pair gorgeously with your favorite sundresses, summer shorts and tank tops.

Welcoming Fall: Shift the Texture and Tone

Fall is the ideal time to wear deep, rich colors that match the season. You'll also notice that fall is when you feel like wearing your heavier jewelry pieces. Certain materials are also a must for your wardrobe transition. That includes leather, wood, and earthy tones like yellow gold. They add warmth to an outfit that is designed to keep you cozy as the weather cools off. 

Transitioning to Fall Jewelry

There's no reason why your beloved summer pieces can't transition to fall, so don't feel like you have to pack away your favorites just because the days are getting shorter. Simply consider how to wear those items in different ways. Check out the ideas below to get started.

Wear Chunky Chains

You might have worn one chunky chain during the summer, but autumn is the perfect time to do some layering. Pair your chains with a cozy sweater or a jean jacket over your favorite maxi dress as the temperature starts to cool off. Chains are ideal for necklaces, but you'll love how fall is the ideal time to try something chunky with your earrings, bracelets or even the strap on your handbag. 

Layer it On

Just like you can easily layer chains for fall, your dainty summer jewelry can be used in much the same way. Layer on several delicate necklaces to make a statement with lightweight jackets and denim overshirts that give you something to look forward to as the days of summer fade and the cooler days of fall come on. 

Stack Your Bracelets

Instead of having to choose just one bracelet to enhance your outfit, fall is the ideal time to stack them up. Whether it's with a casual chocolate brown sweater and pair of jeans or an autumnal maxi dress with your favorite denim jacket, bracelet stacking is a fun and funky way to usher in the cooler autumn days and say goodbye to the heat of the summer. 

Wear Statement Earrings

Lightweight earrings are fabulous for the hot days of summer, but when the crisp autumn breeze starts to blow, you know it's time to pull out the heavier statement pieces. Not only is a beautiful pair of earrings a great way to showcase your favorite fall clothing pieces, but it also gives you a chance to showcase some of the items in your earring collection that don't fit with sundresses and shorts. Mismatched earrings are also a fabulous fall weather choice as they add a custom look to your cold-weather clothing. 

Mix Warm Tones with Cool Tones

Get those autumn vibes as summer turns to fall by mixing the colors in your jewelry. This is a lovely way to hold on to summer just a little bit longer while also getting into the fall state of mind. Dark metals paired with cooler-colored gemstones is a great way to do this, whether it's with a stack of bracelets, layered necklaces or a big pair of earrings. 

Wear Silver

Silver is trending for fall, especially for people who have a cool undertone to their skin. Give it a try this fall with your favorite blazer and denim shorts combo or add silver to your work wardrobe for something fun and different. This goes of any piece, necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets, and more. 

Choose Earthy Gemstones

This includes amber, garnet, citrine, and other deep earth tones. Pastels are fantastic for summer, but you'll love the deeper, richer colors that go with your autumn wardrobe. There's something so gorgeous about tuning in with Mother Nature as the beauty of autumn surrounds you.

Pearls are a Must

Thanks for a variety of celebrities, pearls are making a comeback this fall. No longer considered the outdated jewelry of our mothers and grandmothers, pearls are the perfect complement to dark wash jeans and ankle boots, which are fall staples that are sure to be in your closet this fall. Pearls add just the right touch of glamour and sophistication to chunky sweaters too. 

Add Some Charms

The boldness of charms is something that just works in the best way when you transition your wardrobe from summer to fall. Charms are also playful and if you want to carry that summer feeling over into the autumn, wearing a few charms is sure to do the trick. Whether it's animal charms, geometric shapes, zodiac signs, or medallions, charms can be added to delicate summer necklaces, bracelets and even hoop earrings. 

Choose Statement Rings

When most of you is covered up because the weather is cool, your hands make a fantastic way to showcase your style, making statement rings perfect for fall. Whether you wear a stack of fashion rings or you opt for one large gemstone, rings are a lovely choice for wearing with your favorite pair of jeans and chunky boots. 

What are the Trends?

Knowing the fall trends is another easy way to make the transition from summer to fall as you plan your outfit of the day. Fall 2024 promises to give you some exciting new styles and fashions to try. Check them out below.

Bring Back the 1980s

This fall is all about decadence and over-the-top pieces of jewelry. That means you can feel good about piling on huge chunky bracelets, large earrings, and all of the colorful gemstones your heart desires. 

Tennis Necklaces are Big

Layering is a great fashion choice for autumn, which makes the trend of tennis bracelets that much better this fall. Sure, one looks glamorous on its own, but don't be afraid to wear as many as you want to.

Chokers are Hot Too

The great thing about a choker is that you can pair it with long sleeves and an open neckline, creating a fall look that will turn heads wherever you go. Get in on the charm trend by choosing a choker with a lovely charm hanging from its center. 

Boho is Always on Trend

Fall 2024 is sure to see more drop pendants and layered necklaces. Animal themes are also a highly sought-after choice by multitudes of celebrities this year. Whether it's a snack cuff bracelet or a glittering pendant on a chain, this trend is one you're going to love.

Go With Something Vintage

Vintage has been having its moment for a few seasons now and it's not going anywhere this fall. Consider adding a luxury item to evoke the 1950s or a pile of earthy-toned fashion rings to bring back the 1970s. Whatever decade you choose, this autumn is the perfect time to show it off. 

Big and Bold

The bigger the better this year. As we usher in fall 2024, big statement pieces are what you want. That goes for earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings. You might even take to another level with your handbag and hair accessories. 

Diamonds Never Go Out of Style
