The leaves are falling, the boots are out, and cosy jumpers are officially back in rotation. Autumn is the perfect season to refresh your jewellery style — it’s all about layering, texture, and those warm tones that make outfits feel instantly chic.
Here are my favourite jewellery styling tips for autumn (with a few insider tricks to take you from windswept walks to autumn weddings).
1. Jewellery Colours That Work Best in Autumn
Let’s talk colour! Autumn is all about those rich, earthy tones—think warm rusts, deep greens, and rich browns. Now, gold jewellery is like the pumpkin spice of autumn accessories—it just works! Gold hoops, dainty necklaces, or even some gemstone pieces like Nephrite or Peacock Pearls are chef’s kiss perfect for this time of year. They’ll complement your autumn wardrobe and make you look effortlessly put together.
Pro tip: Don’t get too matchy-matchy. Mix things up! A little contrast can make your outfit pop.
2. Layered Necklaces for Cosy Knits
We love layering, right? Just like you’re throwing on scarves and jackets, layer your necklaces too! Short dainty chains with longer statement pieces = instant style upgrade. And if you’re wearing a cozy turtleneck, even better—neckline on point. You’ll be all about that layered life, trust me.
3. Best Earrings for Autumn Outfits
As the temperature drops and you start rocking those chunky knits, sometimes your outfits can feel a bit... heavy. Enter statement earrings! Big, bold earrings are like the cherry on top of your autumn sundae. Try a pair of hoops or fun, dropper earrings to brighten things up and keep all eyes on your face.
Hot tip: Pull your hair up into a messy bun or sleek ponytail and let those earrings shine.
4. Texture Makes It Cosy
Autumn fashion is all about feeling cozy and snuggly, so why shouldn’t your jewellery be the same? Think engraved metals, matte finishes, or repetitive patterns that bring some extra flair. Stacking bangles or mixing textured rings will give you those autumn vibes, even if you’re just wearing jeans and a sweater. Texture is key, people!
5. Mixed Metal Jewellery for Autumn
Okay, I know the old rule: never mix your metals. Well, I say that’s tosh! This season is the perfect time to mix gold and silver for a look that’s totally fresh and fun. A gold necklace here, silver bangles there—boom, you’ve got an outfit that’s modern and a little edgy. Perfect for transitioning through autumn’s changing moods.
Pro tip: Mixing metals gives you that cool, “I just threw this on but it totally works” vibe. You know, the one we all secretly want.
6. Autumn Rings: Stacking & Signets
Just because you’re wearing a sweater doesn’t mean your hands shouldn’t have their moment! Stack up some rings, throw on a couple of bracelets, and let your hands do the talking. Bold rings are especially fab for autumn because they won’t get lost under all those layers.
Fun fact: Big, chunky rings + long sleeves = fashion power move.
7. Jewellery for Men: Cufflinks & Tie Pins
Guys, don’t think I forgot about you! Autumn is the time to step up your accessory game too. Cufflinks and tie pins might seem old school, but trust me, they add a touch of class to your look. Whether you’re dressing up for work or an autumn wedding, a simple tie pin or set of cufflinks can make your outfit pop. It’s like the secret weapon of men’s fashion—use it!
8. Jewellery + Outerwear = Perfect Match
Let’s talk outerwear! If you’re rocking a classic trench coat or wool jacket, your jewellery should complement it. Dark coat? Go for some bright metallics to contrast. Bright, colourful coat? Keep your jewellery simple and elegant. It’s all about balance, my friends.
Final Thoughts
Styling your jewellery for autumn is all about embracing the season’s cozy, warm vibes while keeping things fun and fresh. Whether you’re layering necklaces, mixing metals, or adding bold statement earrings, don’t be afraid to experiment and make your look totally you. So go ahead, spice up your Autumn wardrobe with some fabulous jewellery—and yes, treat yourself to that pumpkin spice latte while you’re at it
