The 8 Best Jewelry Trends to Try This Summer
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
After living in loungewear and minimalist accessories the last few years, it’s no surprise that we’re expressing optimism with our wardrobes — and that includes jewelry. While dainty chains, zodiac accessories and layered strands have been among the most enduring jewelry trends, bold bijoux are back in 2022.
Continuing the looks seen on fall 2021 runways and red carpets (including the Met Gala and Grammys), chunky accoutrements and retro jewelry punctuated the spring/summer 2022 shows. See: supersized cocktail rings at Dior and Givenchy; door-knocker earrings at Etro, Versace and Carolina Herrera; and maximalist chains on necks, earlobes and waists at Balmain, Givenchy, Tom Ford and more.
