While roaming social media streets recently, SENS landed on the following 2024 jewelry ins and outs. Although we’re already four months into the year, it’s never too late for you fashion enthusiasts to shape and redefine your accessories.
Kick-starting off the list are chunky mental earrings recommended by Paige Lorentzen a 186.5 thousand followed TikTok influencer.
In her words, “Chunky mental earrings are still in,” as fashionistas everywhere flaunt these statement-making pieces. If you don’t have a pair yet, it’s high time you add them to your list the next time you go shopping.
Mixing metals comes second on the list, having scored more likes in the comment section. While minimalism will always have its place, TikTok’s influence is steering fashion towards more maximalist styles. The trend now is to layer, stack, and mix and match jewelry for a more eclectic and personalized look.
“I don’t know how best to describe this style. However, we’re going to be sighting a lot of wire jewelry with interesting lines and shapes.” said Paige Lorentzen. And yes, she is not the only one who thinks that way. Scrolling through the comments on the post, @WorkinFromHome_Freedom (TikToker) can’t agree more.
Mismatched earrings are also a viral topic this year. According to fashion experts, this trend, coupled with multiple piercings, isn’t going anywhere as many stylists are spotted showcasing their curated ear parties, featuring a mix of studs, hoops, and huggies. Moreover, this trend allows for personalization, letting individuals express their unique style.
Additionally, layering necklaces continues to be a popular craze, not only on TikTok but also in real life. According to Gloria, layering her gold and silver necklaces is ‘bae’, year in and year out.
Termed as a ‘potentially unpopular opinion’, Paige and other TikTok stylists firmly believe that watches are here to stay even in 2024. Not because people need to know the time, but hey, old will always be gold.
Whether worn alone or layered for a bolder look, metallic cuffs and chunky bangles are a must-have accessory this year. Given their unisex appeal, bangles won’t be going anywhere soon, at least not in this era of gender-neutral fashion trends.
On the other hand, wildly popular Bottega teardrop earrings are on their way out. Brought to the scene by Dua Lipa and Kendall Jenner, these, once everyone’s must-haves, have unfortunately been shown the door in 2024. Spring runways, this spring, showcased different earring shapes beyond the iconic teardrop, offering fresh alternatives.
The super popular rosette trend from 2023 is also out. However, a swap is in order with rosettes for ribbons and bows. Don’t have one yet? Get it or be left behind.
While statement jewelry is still in vogue, oversized pieces – that overpower an outfit – are becoming less popular. The reason lies in users gravitating towards more balanced and wearable statement pieces that complement their overall look.
