Autumn is upon us, so let’s embrace the changing seasons with open arms and fab fashion choices. Switch up your wardrobe and relax into autumnal serenity. As the leaves turn golden and the air grows crisp, let’s delve into some fashion hacks that’ll help you curate the perfect autumnal wardrobe, with the perfect jewellery pieces to boot.

What’s in fashion for autumn 2023?

Autumn is the season of warm colours you see in nature, and your autumn jewellery collection should match. Think of warm gemstones like Le Vian chocolate diamonds, or garnet and carnelian's deep reds and oranges. Cute, simple pieces like stud earrings or a delicate yellow gold necklace work great for this season.

Layer your necklaces with pendants and single chains for a bold look that creates a fun aesthetic. Put your own stamp on your outfit by adding your favourite personal touch with pendants that represent nature – if you have a beloved leaf or acorn pendant, now’s the time to bring it out of the jewellery box and pair it with old and new favourites. With the right choice of jewellery, your style game will rise as the leaves start to fall.

Layer your look: let the fabric meet the metal.

Layers and delicate knits are must-have staple pieces for any autumn wardrobe, and what better way to complement them than with some beautiful jewellery? But with all these layers, how do you make sure your jewellery gets seen?

Thicker or longer chain necklaces worn over a roll neck knit will stand out in their own right against a jumper – a particularly striking look is a simple black roll neck with a chunky gold necklace, gorgeous.  

For a more understated look, wear a delicate rose gold necklace with a simple pair of stud earrings and a cream-coloured cardi – fresh and cosy looking, it’s the perfect look to take you from the summer months through to Autumn. These pieces will add a touch of elegance to any outfit without overpowering it. If you’re feeling a bit bolder, opt for a statement piece like a chunky chain bracelet or oversized earrings. These pieces will instantly lift any outfit and make a statement.

Another way to incorporate jewellery into your autumn outfits is with stacking bangles. Choose a mix of textures and colours to add a bit of interest to your look. You can also layer necklaces of different lengths for a chic and stylish look.

Embracing the autumn colour palette

When it comes to autumn colours, earthy tones like brown, green, and burgundy are perfect. The deep red of ruby jewellery goes beautifully with browns, blacks and of course, dark red clothing. Consider adding some pieces in these colours to your collection.
 

Warm and rich colours set the perfect backdrop for your jewellery and outfit. Think sapphire shades like deep blue, and exquisite emerald greens, or turn up to the warmer hues with burnt orange, mustard yellow and rich reds.

The key is to find jewellery that complements and enhances these tones. Look for pieces featuring gemstones. One of our fave brands, PDPAOLA, features multi-coloured gemstones in their stunning and very unusual jewellery pieces that solidify them as an autumn must-have in your jewellery collection.

The stunning neutral shades of autumn

Neutrals like beige and cream are gorgeous transition colours that take you from one season to the next and all through winter. Layer your outfit with soft colours such as butterscotch, cinnamon, pecan, and rust, and make sure your favourite pearl jewellery is on hand to complement this. What’s that? You don’t have any pearl jewellery? Oh honey, you’re missing out.

Layering jewellery with clothes

Layering isn’t just for clothes: you can layer your jewellery. Start by wearing delicate, dainty pieces like a simple pendant necklace or thin stack of rings as your base layer. Then, gradually add more layers. Will you add more thin layers, or mix it up with chunky layers too? Layering jewellery not only adds extra flair to your outfits but also lets you mix and match with pieces you already have, giving you endless possibilities for creating unique looks time and time again.

Mixing and matching autumn jewellery

To make the most of your autumnal jewellery collection, experiment with and match different pieces. Play with texture, and materials to create an eclectic, personalised look. If you’ve got some statement acrylic jewellery, pair it with a genuine gold or silver necklace – even better if you have gemstone jewellery that complements your costume pieces. A

As the season of transformation, autumn is the perfect time to refresh your style and play with new looks. With the gorgeous autumn palette of warm hues, reflect the magic of the season with layers and textures. Get ready to turn heads, you look fabulous.

What clothes can you wear in autumn?

We’ve talked about colours, but what about clothing? Nothing says autumn like a cosy, chunky cardigan. These knitted wonders not only keep you warm but also provide a perfect canvas for showcasing your favourite statement jewellery pieces. Opt for chunkier jewellery like oversized earrings, bold cuff bracelets, layered necklaces with large pendants, or just a classic oversized chunky chain. Be fearless and bold with different combinations to find the perfect balance of comfort and style.

How do I match my jewellery to my outfit?

Fun outfit? Fun jewellery. Sleek and sophisticated? It’s time for genuine gold pieces to elevate your style and show the world you’re ready for all the new season throws at you. We love silver jewellery too, but the warmth of luxurious gold earrings, necklaces and bangles really appeals to us during the autumnal months.

Does jewellery have to match clothes?

The wonderful thing about clothing is that it enhances the colours around it. Different colours of clothes can make your eyes and skin pop, and the same goes for your jewellery. Watch as your gorgeous green emerald ring brightens when you wear it with a slightly brighter green dress or pair it with a chocolate-coloured jumper to see take on a calming hue. The stone itself doesn’t change colour, but your fashion choices can make your fave gemstones look different with every wear.

What is the gem of autumn?

The gem of autumn is the sapphire – the official birthstone of September. But other gorgeous warmer gemstones are perfect autumn additions to your outfit. Look for pieces that feature gemstones like malachite or tiger eye, and pair them with warm metal tones like yellow or rose gold. This harmony between your jewellery and wardrobe will create gorgeous autumn looks.

Autumn is the perfect time to experiment with jewellery, especially when it comes to pairing it with chunky cardigans, oversized hoodies and cable knit jumpers. Whether you prefer delicate pieces or bold statement-making ones, there is something for everyone. So, go ahead and get creative with your jewellery pieces this autumn season.
