As the January chill arrives and we settle into cosy layers, jewellery trends shift to fit this more comfortable vibe. Picture easy-wear pieces that go perfectly with soft sweaters and casual outfits. Here are our top jewellery picks for the season ahead.
Earrings of every kind
As roll necks and turtle necks creep in, it’s a good idea to draw attention upwards, and earrings are a great way to do this. Small, close-fitting hoops, often called huggies, are perfect for lounging or casual wear.
They're subtle but still bring a chic vibe even when you’re wearing your biggest, baggiest sweater! Tiny geometric studs, like circles, triangles, or bar shapes, are understated yet modern - perfect for everyday wear without feeling overdone and laid-back enough to wear with lounge outfits.
Minimalist rings
Stackable and minimalist rings are a go-to for effortless style. Slim bands in gold or silver can be worn alone for a sleek look or stacked for a more personalised vibe. Opt for textured finishes or subtle gemstone accents to add a touch of personality without overwhelming your casual outfits.
Soft-toned metals
Warm-toned metals like rose gold and brushed yellow gold are perfect for January’s cosy aesthetic. These hues pair beautifully with soft, neutral loungewear colours like beige, cream, grey and soft blue, enhancing your overall look without feeling overly formal.
Locket necklaces
Personalised, sentimental pieces like simple locket necklaces can add warmth and meaning to a cosy, relaxed look. Add a long chain so you can wear it over your sweater, or a shorter one that will let you hide it and wear it close to you.
Gemstone rings
Gemstone rings featuring stones like turquoise, amethyst, emerald and ruby add a pop of colour to those dark winter days. Hold that warming cup of hot chocolate wearing as many jewels as possible! Lots of these gems are also said to be spiritual and calming, too - perfect for a time when lots of us are feeling a little gloomy!
