What's Trending in Jewelry & Accessories for Fall

Contributor: Elaine Reinhard

There are so many fun trends this season for both jewelry and accessories!  Think color, leather, metallics, studs, animal print and sparkle!   When you put any of these trendy accessories on you are sure to not only be in style but they will also put a smile on your face!  When it comes to color the big colors for fall are cobalt blue and burgundy.  Both were runway favorites this fall and are rich, intense color yet versatile.  Pick one that looks best with your coloring, my personal favorite is cobalt blue.  I have blue eyes so the bright cobalt blue accentuates the blue in my eyes, even on the days were I am tired and my eyes are bloodshot!   My favorite trend this season is gold and black.  Gold and black is paired together on clothes, shoes, handbags and jewelry.   Gold and black is easy to pair, just add some gold accessories to last year’s black jeans!   Leather is making a big comeback, not only is leather jackets, pants and skirts cool again but you will also see jewelry made with leather.   Fun additions such as spikes, studs and sequins are everywhere, on clothing, shoes and of course jewelry!   Animal prints have always been popular but the new buzz word for them is that they are the “new neutral!”   Think of them as a black or brown, they both look so good paired with pops of color.   The big trend in necklaces is the collar necklaces, made to look as if they are built right into the shirt.  Also you will see many jeweled necklaces.  Both are dramatic styles sure to punch up any outfit for day or night!  You don’t have to wait for the holidays to wear these styles.  The cuff bracelet is the hot wrist look, these bold bracelets will add an instant update to any outfit.  You also will see a lot of animal motifs in jewelry, including snakes, owls, foxes, lions, you name it!  Lastly the two big handbags shapes are the cross body bag and the clutch.   My favorite is the cross body, it’s fashionable but even more important totally practical and hands free!  I have been using my Chanel cross body bag everyday, it’s a cherished gift from my dad and step mom.   Clutch bags continue to be a hot handbag for both day and evening.  You will see bigger clutches for day and a structured envelope shape is in right now.   There are so many fun trends in jewelry and accessories this year, that there will be sure to be something for everyone!
