Ahead, learn all about the trends the fashion crowd loves, and shop our favorite corresponding earring picks. Trust—your fall outfits will crave the pretty accents coming your way.
That favorite DIY project from your youth is now one of the top trends of the season as quirky earrings made out of crafty objects like paper clips and beads enter the spotlight in a major way.
Shop the trend:
The crystal-earring trend isn’t going away anytime soon. For fall, though, test out the more dramatic, chandelier silhouettes to add a glimmering finish to a forward fit.
Shop the trend:
The asymmetrical jewelry trend continues to hold strong as designers from 3.1 Phillip Lim to Hellessy sent models down the runway with different earrings in each ear to spice up a look.
Shop the trend:
Classic gold hoops will clearly never go out of style, but don’t underestimate the power of a bold hoop with exaggerated details to amp up even the most basic fall outfit.
Shop the trend:
While frilly and frayed tassels have been around for seasons, the look of this season is a bit more sophisticated in metallics and other on-trend materials.
Shop the trend:
Don’t be afraid to lean into that rebellious side with a range of punk-esque earrings featuring spikes and studs. Silver happens to be the metal du jour here as the ideal contrast against an all-black look.
Shop the trend:
Subtlety really has no game for fall with extra-long earrings dominating the fashion sphere. For the most impactful look, try just one elbow-grazing style to make a statement.
