About a quarter of Americans say that summer is their favorite season, and why wouldn’t they? Whether you like to lay by the pool and sunbathe, travel to exotic venues, or just drive around at night with friends and sing at the top of your lungs, this season brings a lot to look forward to. It’s laid-back, bright, and full of laughter.
Another awesome thing that summer brings is fashion trends that are sure to turn heads. No matter what outfit you like to wear in warm weather, be it a sundress or a pair of high-waisted shorts, there’s a perfect piece of jewelry that will complement it perfectly.
We’re here to help you find the piece of jewelry that will make your summer look stand out among all the others. Read on to learn the hottest summer jewelry trends!
Beachside Styles
One of the coolest summer jewelry trends is beach jewelry. A lot of these pieces are just in specific colors that invoke the feeling of sand and sea. Blues, teals, and tans will give off this vibe, especially when used together, so look into that.
But sea glass is an even better way to give your wardrobe a summer feel. You can buy them online and get them in any color or style you want. Better yet, though, sea glass washes up on shore at the beach all the time, so you can find your own piece and make it into any kind of jewelry that suits your fancy.
When you think of sea glass, you probably think of a teal piece of jewelry. What you might not know is that it comes in a variety of other colors, too, so it can go with any outfit!
Teals, blues, and whites are common, but lime green sea glass also exists and is even brighter and flashier than you imagine. You can also get brown or black sea glass, too, which you can wear with darker outfits!
Make It Personal
Personalized jewelry is always a good idea, especially if you’re buying it as a gift. Whether you want to carve your name or someone else’s into it, or even the names of both yourself and a loved one, there are so many options out there for personalized necklaces, bracelets, and bangles.
Another way to spice up personalized jewelry is to engrave a meaningful symbol or quote into it. Thinking about getting a bangle to slip around your partner’s wrist at the beach? Engrave a quote from your song on it for a unique- and thoughtful- flair.
You might be worried that you’ll have to sell an arm and a leg to afford these pieces, but this isn’t true at all. In fact, you can get personalized jewelry for under $50 if you know where to look. Get shopping!
Fresh and Funky
You’ve probably heard that fashions go away and come back. This is completely true, and some of the best trends that you remember from your childhood are striking back in new (and occasionally improved) ways.
One way to use jewelry to spice up your summer look is by putting a fresh spin on old fashions. Did you use to wear anklets as a kid? You may not have seen them in years, but they’re making a comeback.
Sleek silver or gold anklets go perfectly with the classic summer look of shorts and flip-flops. Add a subtle charm to give this a flair you may not have had as a youngster. You can also wear a colored anklet with a bright sundress to show off your impeccable taste in matching colors.
Another trend that’s going back into style is the tried-and-true charm bracelet. These are a great way for you to express yourself since you can choose charms that have meaning to you. From your initial to a lover’s, from a cute kitty to the summer sun, you’ll have more options than you know what to do with.
Fall Into Summer Love
If some of the best songs out there are to be believed, summer is a season for love. Judging from all the books, movies, and past experiences we’ve had, we definitely think this is true. And since love is something to be celebrated, why not use your jewelry as an excuse to express your bonds with others?
If you’re part of a couple, there’s no better way of showing off your guy or gal than getting a trendy piece of matching jewelry. Think about a beaded necklace that can go with anything or maybe a bracelet in a favorite color.
Love doesn’t always need to be romantic, though! Even if you’ll be spending a fun summer single, you’re never too old to a subtle BFF bracelet, assuming that it’s hip and trendy. This is an especially awesome idea since it will give you all an excuse to look at fashion items… and one for a girl’s night out, too.
Get Great Summer Jewelry
Summer is a time of bright lights and brighter fashion. But if you want to stand out among of all the beach babes and feel as confident as you possibly can, getting the best summer jewelry to complement your outfits is a must.
