8 Jewelry Trends To Complete Your Outfit In 2024

With a new season bringing with it a bounty of bold fashion trends — denim gowns and mesh footwear, to name a few — it’s easy to overlook what’s happening with all things jewelry. Necklaces and earrings might be the last thing you put on when piecing together an outfit, but they’re certainly not the least part of the whole ensemble, especially as far as 2024’s trending styles are concerned. 

The spring/summer runways teased a y2k-meets-bohemian tone that will take center stage in the months ahead, and anyone who remembers the state of fashion in the early 2000s knows that accessories play an important role in perfecting this particular look. Body chains are back, as are belts that are more decorative than they are functional, shoulder-grazing earrings, and layers of beads and chains. For those who aren’t ready for this type of aesthetic comeback, there are other jewelry trends gaining steam, including floral chokers (resembling 2024’s popular blossom bags) and anklets. Below, we’ve rounded up the biggest and the best 2024 jewelry trends that’ll have you shining stylishly bright. 

Jewelry Trend 2024: Rosettes

Three-dimensional florals will be in full bloom across the spring/summer 2024 fashion landscape with designers replacing patterns of petals with more dramatic takes on the motif. In the accessories department, there were floral headpieces, not-your-grandmother’s brooches and chokers at Chanel and rosettes of all kinds including necklaces, earrings, and belts at Simone Rocha and Blumarine. 

Jewelry Trend 2024: Anklets

With lots of high-fashion ankle activity happening thanks to designers such as Paco Rabanne and Miu Miu, there’s one shoe-adjacent jewelry trend in the mix that will be easy to incorporate into your 2024 accessories lineup: the humble anklet. Opt for something sleek and simple like Fendi’s gold, tubular styles, or glam things up with a pearly take on the trend, à la Simone Rocha.  

Jewelry Trend 2024: Oceanic Influence

In addition to the pops of oceanic blue favored by Bottega Veneta, Versace, and Ferragamo, designers like Collina Strada and Schiaparelli went diving deep for accessories inspiration. This resulted in chokers and large pendants made to look like starfish, lobsters, crabs, and other sea creatures. But if a giant necklace featuring a fish carcass is not for you, you can still dabble in the trend with significantly smaller charms and studs that pay homage to the ocean. 

Jewelry Trend 2024: Super Sized

If a giant fish carcass necklace is for you — or at least large accessories of an equally dramatic nature — expect to have fun leaning into all things oversized when it comes to 2024 jewelry trends. According to Pinterest’s annual trend prediction report, big, sculptural jewelry and “larger-than-life accessories” will be top of mind this year. 

Jewelry Trend 2024: Bows

The year 2024 will be all about bows. While a number of girly fashion trends have been gaining popularity in recent seasons, this particular adornment has been spotted everywhere from the runway (Balmain and Sandy Liang) to the red carpet (Olivia Rodrigo and Sydney Sweeney). Whether it’s a necklace, a hair clip, or a bracelet, tie up your favorite piece of jewelry with a ribbon for a very on-trend look. 

Jewelry Trend 2024: Chunky Silvers

James Cochrane

At The Attico, it was the necklaces. At Armarium and Valentino, it was the earrings. At Tory Burch, it was the bangles (with earrings getting an honorable mention, too). Big, beautiful silver jewelry had a major moment across the SS24 collections, and we expect to see more of the heavy metal popping up in the months ahead. 

Jewelry Trend 2024: Layered Necklaces

According to Chanel, Ralph Lauren, and Burberry, more is more when it comes to decorating the décolletage. Top designers are layering necklaces like it’s peak festival season, so we’re looking forward to a year’s worth of that kind of fashion fun in 2024. Get the look by pairing necklaces of varying thickness and lengths, and don’t be afraid to mix metals or add in something beaded (also a popular material on the SS24 runways). 

Jewelry Trend 2024: Standout Earring

No, that wasn’t a typo. A singular statement earring was embraced by the likes of Valentino, Prabal Gurung, and Gucci. But if wearing just one eye-catching piece will leave your face feeling half naked, try an asymmetrical pair as was done at Etro and Erdem instead for the same unique appeal but with no lobe left behind.

25 Mini Bags That Make A Big Statement

I’ve been an avid mini bag collector for as long as I can remember. In addition to being a statement piece, a tiny bag is also a talking point — with people constantly inquiring about what you can actually fit in one. I love convincing them just how practical they can be because, while mini bags can feel extra, they also serve a real (albeit minimalist) function of holding all your essentials. 

I am also not alone in my love of tiny bags, the style has been a bonafide trend for a while now. Although there were predictions that the mini bags trend would fizzle out, luxury designs like those from Jacquemus and Prada have continued to trickle down to our favorite retail stores and online shopping sites.

With over 20 small but mighty handbags in my collection — some that I use daily and some that I simply admire — I've become a tiny purse connoisseur. I'm constantly on the hunt for kitschy and funky options, searching the internet for the best chic and compact purses that I'd personally like to add to my wardrobe.

Tag along if you want to see my top picks for trendy bags across an array of unique designs, fabrics, and colors. Opting for mini, micro, and nano-size styles, I've meticulously made selections that are no more than eight inches tall or wide. From Reformation's first handbag line to Coachtopia's Y2K options to a juicy (you'll see!) pick from Amazon, each of these tiny purses promises to elevate your style and scale back your clutter.

In the world of secondhand fashion, it’s sometimes tricky to find pieces that you’ll actually wear, rather than adding to a growing collection of eye-catching (but maybe impractical) finds. Between the endless bargains, charity shops, flea markets and secondhand shopping apps, building a circular wardrobe that works for you can be nothing short of overwhelming.

One way to improve your eye for secondhand finds is to figure out exactly what you’re looking for before you shop. Whether you’re seeking a versatile oversized blazer, or a spring dress for multiple occasions, setting loose goals can avoid distractions and impulse buys. As an avid thrifter myself, some of my most-worn secondhand clothes (including a red leather blazer and an oversized Uniqlo button-up) are the ones that required some thoughtful consideration. So, when I did a deep dive into spring/summer 2024 trends and set out to find secondhand pieces for the season ahead, the results were mighty fine indeed.

From 2010s-style bubble skirts inspired by Aknvas and Dion Lee to bold metallics à la Rabanne and Retrofête’s ready-to-wear chainmail, scroll below for five spring 2024 trends that you too can find on your next secondhand shopping trip.

Spring 2024 Trend: Corp-core 

This season, the girlies are embracing business casual — with an emphasis on the “casual.” From oversized blazers that are versatile enough for work and for nights out, to modern pencil skirts that scream “cool girl” rather than “politician,” spring 2024 is a perfect time to mix the business with the party. Inspired by designers like Givenchy, Luar, and Peter Do on the spring/summer 2024 runways, this like-new Hawes and Curtis men’s blazer, which I found in a rummage sale for £8 (or around $10), was an incredible find that I’m already wearing at least once a week. 

Spring 2024 Trend: Ice Blue

Icy, glacial blue is one of spring 2024’s biggest color trends. It’s not quite a statement hue, but has a bit more pop than a neutral, and can be a refreshing addition to most aesthetics. Not only was the trend spotted on recent fashion week street style, it also dominated spring/summer 2024 runways from brands like Fendi, Eckhaus Latta, and Eudon Choi. I already know this light blue croc-textured handbag, originally from ASOS and bought for £5 (or slightly more than $6), is going to be a major player in my wardrobe this spring.

Spring 2024 Trend: Crochet Styling

Crochet is to spring what knits are to fall, and the spring/summer 2024 runways were proof of that. Notable mentions were Holzweiler’s plethora of crochet dresses, skirts, and cardigans, and Diotima’s artisan-crocheted dresses and trims, both perfect for a beach holiday or a laidback weekend. That said, even the slightest increase in temperature will have me pulling out my wide knits and crochet pieces! This thick, breathable vintage top — which I found at a flea market — is the perfect transitional piece… And bonus points for the subtle crab motif.

Spring 2024 Trend: Bubble Skirts

This year marks the return of several 2010s trends, including the playful bubble skirt. A perfect complement to the also-trending drop waist, voluminous hemlines were all over spring/summer 2024 runways, from Aknvas and Cinq à Sept’s poofy mini dresses to Dion Lee’s metallic bubble skirts and dresses. This secondhand Desigual dress has the subtlest of bubble skirts, which is great for easing into the trend. Catch me wearing this to spring brunches with my knee-high boots and a light jacket or sweater.

 Spring 2024 Trend: Metallics

The metallic trend had a shining moment on the spring/summer 2024 runways. Brands like Blumarine and Coperni showcased sculptural silver and gold gowns, while chainmail — also playing to this season’s sheer trend — took centre-stage from designers like Rabanne, Retrofête and Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini. As a textbook magpie, I was stoked to find this used & Other Stories mirror disc slip dress for sale on eBay. After researching various ways to style the piece (over jeans, with a slip, or simply with lingerie for a daring look) I knew it would be the type of show-stopping piece that will live in my wardrobe for decades. Finding it secondhand was just the icing on the cake.
