• Pearls Reimagined

No longer just your grandma's pearls—they are everywhere: on jeans, jackets, swimwear, and of course, jewelry.  MAJOR designers are showing oversized pearl pieces on the runways, but you can layer strands of any length or even play with colored pearls (black, pink, or multicolor).   • Retro + Sculptural Styles Tobugas chains (a 70s/‘80s throwback), chunky chokers, and large beaded necklaces are trending now. Real stones like jade, turquoise, and garnet are the way to go. Plastic beads? Fashion. Crime. Shop the Look: Holly curated a selection of thin beaded necklaces at wearthisnotthat.shop. They look great solo, stacked with silver or gold, or even styled as an anklet.   • Black Gemstones + Earth Tones Oversized onyx pendants, enamel rings, and rich chocolate or earth tone bracelets are all the rage.  Let these dramatic pieces be the leading lady in any outfit.    • Brooch Revival Quirky brooches in unusual shapes—animals, tools, flowers—are everywhere. Layer them on a blazer lapel, add them to jeans, or even clip them to collars. Style Inspo: Holly layered a stack of heart-shaped brooches on the Della Denim Blazer (available now at wearthisnotthat.shop) for a chic, standout look.   • Mismatched Earrings Madonna made it iconic in the ‘80s, and it’s back with a vengeance. Pair long with short, big with small—embrace asymmetry for instant cool factor.   Listen or watch the episode for more fall jewelry trends here!
