The Chicest Jewelry Trends for Summer 2021

I've been in hibernation mode. It was only on the very rare occasion that I ventured away from my house, usually in black tights, an oversized chambray shirt (or sweater, depending on the weather), and Uggs (the same ones André Leon Talley wears). Depressing as that look may sound, my jewelry was always on point. In fact, I piled on the baubles while sitting at home. But now that I’ve spent ample time redecorating my room, and with summer on the horizon, I’m more than ready to crawl out of my cave and shine bright like a, well, diamond.

Summer, indeed, is the best time to show off jewelry. Whether you’re in a sleek maillot, drinking a mai tai while gazing at the sea, or, like yours truly, walking the city streets in a tee, short shorts, the lack of layers lets you show off your bling. From charming gold pendants to slender bangles to sultry hoops, we've curated the chicest pieces that just beckon to be shown off outdoors and have a hot girl summer.
