Celeb-Fave Jewelry Brand Monica Vinader’s Black Friday Sale Is Officially On

Deal alert: Get 30% off sitewide at Monica Vinader from November 18-29.

For a long time, it seemed as though many folks busted out fine jewelry exclusively for fancy occasions or special nights out. But what’s the fun of only wearing pretty things sporadically? Everyday jewelry, on the other hand, instantly elevates whatever you’re wearing, and it’s so easy. Personally speaking, as a jewelry advocate, it’s a damn joy to live in an era where piling on gold and silver has become as casual as putting on a T-shirt and jeans. Now, the question is this: Where do you find reasonably priced, high-quality pieces that are worthy of daily wear? While there are plenty of flashy brands on the market, the one that recently caught our eyes is the U.K.-based sustainable jewelry line Monica Vinader, which makes a wide assortment of rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings perfect for layering and stacking. Monica Vinader, it should be noted, is also a low-key fave of stylish celebs like Gigi Hadid, Hailey Bieber, and Kendall Jenner.

Ready to treat yourself to some new, stack-ready jewelry? You can now shop the brand’s early Black Friday sale, where everything on the site is 30% off from November 18-29.

To dig a little more on the sustainability front: All metals are made from 100% recycled gold vermeil or 100% recycled sterling silver, and all of its diamonds, gemstones, and precious stones are ethically sourced. Pieces come in 100% recycled and/or reusable packaging, and the brand is certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council. And, if you have any old jewelry to unload (even if it’s not from Monica Vinader!), you can send those well-worn pieces via a pre-paid label to the company to ensure that anything salvageable will get upcycled responsibly. And as a thank you for doing your part in being sustainably stylish, you’ll receive a discount on your next Monica Vinader purchase.

But wait, there’s more! Since it’s likely that you’ll wear Monica Vinader pieces almost every day, you can rest assured that everything comes with a five-year warranty, and you’ll receive lifetime repairs on anything that breaks. Free (and carbon-neutral) shipping is offered both ways, and you get 100 days to try out Monica Vinader pieces — and, if one doesn’t speak to you, you can just return it, no questions asked.

My absolute favorite tidbit about Monica Vinader is the brand’s in-house piercing services. That’s right — you can get pierced at its brick-and-mortar locations — and, at the time of writing, there are plenty of immediate openings available on their website (unlike, say, the always-booked Studs or other boutique piercing studios). At Monica Vinader, you can get up to three ear piercings per appointment, anywhere on the lobe or helix, and each piercing is only $25, plus the cost of the earring you get pierced with.

This Former Jewelry "Don't" Is Now A Major Trend

I Enlisted A TikTok-Approved Stylist To Help Me Dress For Work

I must admit, I’ve always been attracted to corporate fashion. There’s something about crisp shirts, tailored khaki pants and classic blazers that enthuse optimism in my brain, even if corporate offices and boardrooms are not the most alluring places to be in. It might have to do with growing up with a mother who never let her dull, accounting job erase her love of fashion. It was quite the opposite, actually. Every morning, I’d see her tying a pussy-bow blouse, pairing it with perfectly fitted pants and classic pumps. On occasion it was a suit she’d made herself, accessorized with a classic tote bag from Marshalls. 

Somehow, even when I got some of the best corporate style lessons from my mother, I still can’t nail down the concept of getting dressed for work. This has been one of the main challenges of going back to an office after two years away. While I only go to the office one or two days a week, every day I do go fills my morning routine with anxiety over what to wear. If I put on heels, I look too overdressed. But if I wear sneakers, I might be too casual, the voice of my mother in my head, saying, “Sneakers have no place in an office.” And when I put on a blazer and walk into my overly modern office, packed full of creatives and where a casual dress code reigns, I’m paranoid to look like a parody of corporate life. 

Thankfully, I’m not the only one that has gone through this conundrum before. TikTok-famous stylist Neelam Ahooja, who has gathered a cult following for her vast collection of The Row, had to nail down her corporate-ready uniform early on in her previous career as an accountant. “I wore a lot of suits, carried a lot of briefcases,” she says. “It’s no wonder that appeals to me still.”

Battling weeks of stressed mornings getting dressed for work, I enlisted Ahooja to help me figure out a workwear uniform that is not only functional (and appropriate) but fashion-forward. Here’s how it went. 

Wear what’s comfortable to you

When I asked Ahooja her rules for workwear fashion, she replied: “I don’t have a lot of rules because I think you should wear what’s comfortable to you.” So that meant going to the base of my closet: all-black outfits. 

While I’ve worn mostly black for nearly a decade, I’ve stayed away from wearing it head-to-toe for some time now, trying to step outside my comfort zone; if not for myself, then for the sake of being an adventurous fashion journalist. But leaning on old friends — a black turtleneck, trousers and coat — instantly eased my anxieties in the morning. The simplistic canvas felt elevated and comfortable, but boring. Thankfully, I’ve now added other colors to my closet — similarly muted shades such as navy, grey, brown, and white — so with this in mind I grabbed a pair of white ankle boots that gave the outfit an understated twist. 

Throughout the day, the outfit felt functional and presentable without trying too hard. And even if I was wearing all-black, the white boots hinted my style isn’t as boring as the top of the outfit might have suggested. 

Rethink shirting 

An essential piece of workwear is the basic white shirt. With its vast history and multiple variations, it’s easy to think there is no way to revamp this basic item. But Ahooja made me reconsider this narrative. 

She recommended looking to her favorite brand The Row, known for its impeccable tailoring, for inspiration. As I sorted through some of the brand’s most recent collections, two details stood out: casually-cuffed shirts and asymmetrical styling. So, I promptly applied these tips to my own look. 

Pairing a white shirt with a pair of pinstripe tailored pants, first, I styled the top with rolled sleeves, crossing one side over the other to create a wrap-around silhouette. While white button-down shirts are often defined as menswear-inspired, this styling gave this piece a more feminine look, cinching its laid-back, baggy silhouette. So far, my experiment was already opening up the workwear wardrobe possibilities. 

For a different take on asymmetrical styling, I was inspired by a pre-fall 2022 look by The Row that showed a model wearing a blazer backwards. It wasn’t easy and it required a ton of flexibility (and a helper) to button up the back of the shirt. But once I was able to do it (after much stretching and sore arms), the shirt looked remarkably cool, now resembling a blouse instead of a plain white button-down, and giving this basic item a whole new vibe.  

Neelam was onto something. 

Dressed down blazers

Then, it was on to suits. It’s hard for me to explain how much I love a good blazer, but the reality is that they get a bit boring after a while, not to mention that they look out of place when worn in an office that has a casual dress code. So Ahooja proposed two styling tricks: tying the blazer around my waist, or wearing it as a one-shoulder top. The latter seemed simple enough, while the former brought back flashbacks of Tibi’s spring 2023 collection, which included a slew of models wearing blazers with just one arm, letting the other sleeve hang on their backs. 

Challenge accepted. 

I opted for a basic, black double-breasted blazer with a white sweater and blue jeans, sporting the outerwear as directed: just one arm in. At first glance, it seemed odd, but the more I looked in the mirror, the more I liked the unexpected twist. From the back, though, it was a different story: one sleeve hung awkwardly with no real aesthetic value. It was just another reminder that on-the-runway styling is not always as practical in real life. 

Still, I learned some valuable lessons from this workwear challenge, especially when it comes to approaching these basic pieces with a fresh perspective. After all, who says you have to wear them like the briefcase-carrying executives do?

The Brand Making Kylie Jenner-Approved Cargo Pants For Under $100

Once upon a time, siblings Jade and Grant Goulden, co-founders of the celeb-favorite label Jaded London, were just kids roaming around small shops during their summer vacations. “From a young age, we were constantly surrounded by fashion, so the expression of style is in our blood,” Grant tells Refinery29. “Some of the designs that you see today are the result of the trends that we grew up on.”

Fast forward to 2022, and the Goulden siblings run one of the biggest Y2K nostalgia labels in fashion, worn by the likes of Kylie Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Rita Ora and Rihanna. The brand, which was founded a decade ago, is mostly known for its $90 parachute pants that hone in on today’s fascination for baggy shapes and cargo silhouettes, as well as newspaper-printed mini dresses, retro-inspired playsuits, strapless corset tops, and denim micro mini skirts. During our conversation, the sibling duo cite the Spice Girls, Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan as reference points for their designs. “We wore all these trends when we were younger,” says Jade. “I keep saying I wish I kept my whole wardrobe.”

With today’s it-girls also counting these names as inspiration, it’s no wonder they’re all endorsing Jaded London for their street style credentials. So much so, that global shopping platform Lyst named the brand’s parachute pants as one of the biggest products of 2022, with searches on the platform up 63% the past few months. Back in August, Hailey Bieber was spotted wearing a pair of the signature pants in khaki, paired with a black baby tee, while Kaia Gerber was seen sporting the same pair with a white tank top and adidas Samba sneakers. In June, Kylie Jenner took to her Instagram Stories, pairing a cream version with a white tank top and black Balenciaga Le Cagole bag. The pants have gathered so much attention that the sibling duo have also ventured into other forms of cargo silhouettes, including mini and maxi skirts, as well as shorts. 

What’s more is that even as the brand’s recognition skyrockets, the duo has kept its alluring $90 price point intact. “That’s always been kind of our secret sauce,” says Grant. “We are in a unique position in the market, I think that’s been a key to our success.”

That success also counts massive TikTok hype. Searches for the brand have reached over 73 million views, with people sharing their own looks featuring the brand’s cargo pants. According to Grant, the app has allowed the brand to tap into a new demographic. “[Now we have] a slightly younger customer and we’re able to design products that resonate with the TikTok audience,” he says. “The design inspiration is actually coming from TikTok.”

With a decade under their belt and a recent collaboration with New York-based fashion collective VFiles, for now, the siblings are basking in the boom of Y2K nostalgia. “We basically have this one great product that everyone wants,” says Jade Goulden. “People really want to be seen wearing our product.”
