3 Simple Jewelry Trends Everyone Is Wearing Right Now

Given that many of us are spending most of our time at home these days and dealing with all sorts of life’s curveballs, it’s no surprise that in fashion categories from loungewear to footwear to today’s topic of jewelry, It items have emerged that we didn’t necessarily predict back when we were forecasting spring and summer trends a few months ago. Whether it’s a matter of comfort or simply adapting to the idea of shopping less and revisiting pieces we already own, the fashion crowd has been making the most of its limitations by both creating new, unexpected trends as well as giving new life to old classics.

Bringing it back to jewelry, it seems that we have taken the route of the latter—or at least that’s what my Instagram feed suggests—because the overwhelming majority of posts I’m seeing on a daily basis are of the same three simple pieces. To see what they are and, of course, shop the trending classics along the way, just keep scrolling.

Even better when paired with more bold gold jewelry.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
