As lovers of color, autumn is definitely one of our favorite seasons, since it's a time of year that's distinguished both by rich colors and luxurious layers. During this transitional period, fall color aficionados travel from far and wide to seek out the best places to see leaves change from green to various shades of red and orange. We love a commitment to color!
How can you dress stylishly for this time of year, when you're not quite sure how the weather will change over the course of a day? In this blog post, we'll share some of our favorite fall style tips, so you can look great, whether you're ordering your first pumpkin spice latte, leaf peeping, or engaging in any other favorite autumn activity.
Fall Color Trends
Earlier this year, Pantone reported on the fall and winter color trends for 2021, based on their observations from New York Fashion Week. The dominating colors in Pantone's forecast are Mykonos Blue, Illuminating, Leprechaun, Fuchsia Fedora, and Pale Rosette. We're loving the focus on bright, fun, and energetic colors, which are a departure from the richly-saturated jewel tone palette that many people typically associate with the fall season.
You can find a hue similar to Mykonos Blue in our Gold Spoked Hexagon Ring with Blue Sapphire. If the Illuminating yellow color is catching your eye, you can try our Beaded Gemstone Necklace with Rainbow, Black Onyx, and Gold; it has just a hint of yellow that feels appropriate for cool-weather days. Are you loving the Leprechaun green? Shop for the Gold Spoked Hexagon Earrings with Green Opal, the Beaded Gemstone Bracelet with Jade and Gold, or the Beaded Gemstone Necklace with Jade, Carnelian, and Gold.
Layering
With temperatures fluctuating throughout the day, fall is the perfect time for intentional layering. You may start your morning with a jacket and scarf and then find yourself in a lightweight blouse by lunchtime. We fully embrace the concept of layering and recommend that your accessories follow suit.
Are you seeking some fall jewelry layering ideas? Try stacking a variety of beaded gemstone bracelets from our Fall Collection. Or consider pairing our Gold Open Hexagon Necklace with a Beaded Gemstone Necklace, like this one with Labradorite, Smoky Quartz, and Gold. Layering should be fun and free; don't get too caught up in any "rules"!
"Leaf Peeping" Style
If you're not from the northeastern region of the United States, you may not know that leaf peeping is a "thing." Some people are so committed to enjoying the colors of fall that they travel for optimal foliage viewing.
In New York City, some of the best places for leaf peeping include Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and the New York Botanical Garden, which even hosts fall foliage tours in November. If you feel like leaving the city for the day, you can explore places like the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area in Pennsylvania, Bear Mountain in the Hudson Valley, or the Palisades Interstate Park in New Jersey.
Will you be making an event out of enjoying all the autumnal colors? If so, you'll want to travel in style. Our Gold and Beaded Gemstone Earrings with Citrine and Grey Sapphire remind us of a tree branch with caramel-colored leaves. For us, the colors of tourmaline also invoke the spirit of the natural world in fall; our Gold Open Hexagon Necklace with Tourmaline feels especially appropriate.
Wear What You Love
According to an article in Harper's Bazaar about this year's fall fashion trends, "keeping it cozy" is key. It's time to stop paying attention to what's "hot"; instead, look for what you love. Embrace the accessories that you'll want to wear for now and forever, the pieces that will feel comfortable and authentic to you when you enjoy them everyday and incorporate them into your lifestyle.
Our beaded gemstone bracelets and necklaces are not only comfortable, but they can also be customized in your choice of colors. Do you have a favorite color combo that you'd love to see on your wrist or neck? Contact us with your custom request, and we'll be happy to make it come to life. Just because someone says blue is hot for fall doesn't mean you can't wear bright green or regal purple through the winter and beyond for every season and reason.
