Ladies, it’s time to bundle up, but don’t let those layers hold back your style. Winter is the perfect opportunity to let your accessories do the talking! Whether you’re snuggling up in cozy knits or braving the cold in your chicest coat, the right accessories will add that extra sparkle (literally and figuratively) to your winter wardrobe. Let’s talk Winter 2024 accessory trends – from must-have jewelry to statement pieces that’ll take you from day to night.
1. Chunky Chain Jewelry – Bigger is Better
This winter, go bold or go home with chunky chain jewelry! Whether you’re looking for a statement necklace to elevate your favorite turtleneck or a bold bracelet to peek out from under your cozy sweater sleeves, this trend is all about going oversized. Don’t be afraid to mix metals—gold, silver, and even gunmetal finishes are all in this season. The heavier, the better. It’s like your winter armor, but way cuter.
2. Permanent Jewelry – Make it Last
Why should your accessories only last for a season? Permanent jewelry is having a major moment, and it’s the perfect mix of delicate and durable. Imagine wearing a sleek, elegant chain bracelet or anklet that doesn’t come off (unless you want it to, of course). It’s minimalist yet powerful. I’ve been loving this trend for those of us who like to keep it simple, but with a little extra meaning. Plus, it’s one less thing to think about when you’re rushing out the door—just layer on top, and you’re good to go!
3. Statement Earrings – Go Big and Stay Warm
Just because it’s cold doesn’t mean you can’t rock a statement earring! This winter, oversized earrings are all the rage. Think jewel tones and playful shapes, from dramatic drop earrings to artistic hoops. They’re the perfect way to add a pop of glam to your bundled-up looks. Plus, they draw attention to your face, which is always a bonus when you’re wrapped in scarves and hats. Pro tip: Choose a pair that complements your winter coat to make even your outerwear part of the outfit.
4. Luxurious Scarves – Soft, Warm, and Stylish
Scarves are a winter essential, but why not make them the star of the show? This season, it’s all about luxurious textures—think cashmere, faux fur, and chunky knits. Opt for oversized scarves in rich colors like deep burgundy, emerald green, and classic camel. These pieces are not only functional but add instant elegance to any outfit. Drape them over your shoulders for a cape-like effect, or wrap them tightly around your neck for extra warmth. Either way, you’re layering like a pro.
5. Statement Belts – Cinch It!
Winter layers can sometimes feel bulky, but a statement belt is here to save the day. Cinch your oversized sweaters, cardigans, or even your favorite winter coat with a bold belt to define your waist and add a polished touch. Think wide leather belts with chunky buckles or even embellished belts with a hint of sparkle. It’s an easy way to create shape and show off your silhouette, even when you’re wrapped up in layers.
6. Bejeweled Hair Accessories – Crown Yourself Queen
Hair accessories are the easiest way to add a little glam to your look. Winter 2024 is all about bejeweled hairpins, barrettes, and headbands. Whether you’re styling a sleek bun or leaving your hair down, adding a bit of sparkle to your locks will instantly elevate your look. I love pairing these pieces with loose waves for that effortless-yet-put-together vibe.
7. Gloves – Elegant and Functional
We can’t forget about gloves—because who wants cold hands? This season, gloves are getting an upgrade with luxe materials like leather and suede, often adorned with little details like bows, zippers, or even studs. Don’t be afraid to go for bold colors like red or green to bring a pop of color to your winter wardrobe. Bonus points if you find a pair that’s touchscreen-friendly, so you can still text or scroll Instagram without sacrificing warmth.
This winter is all about making a statement without sacrificing comfort. Whether you’re into bold chains, permanent jewelry, or cozy scarves, there’s something for everyone. So, grab your favorite accessories, bundle up, and let your winter wardrobe sparkle and shine. Before too long, 2024 will be coming to a close and we'll be setting goals for 2025 and looking at a new set of trends.
