No matter the outfit there is always a need for some jewellery, there is no such thing as too many accessories. Coco Chanel once said “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” I am certain she did not mean the jewels or at least that is what I’d like to think. Unlike the summer where there was an increase in dainty and delicate jewellery the winter calls for more of a statement, so get ready to be big and bold with your accessories taking inspiration from the 80s, 90s and 00s. I have collected 5 of the most wanted jewellery you will be seeing over the winter months, they will be a part of your daily rotation of jewellery so get ahead of the game with these new trends.

I would pair these with a long line dress which is off the shoulder, sparkly heels and style your hair in an up do to really accentuate the decolletage, this creates the best christmas party look that will have you looking like the belle of the ball. For a more casual way to wear the earrings try a pair of leather leggings, a one shoulder top and a blazer draped over the shoulders, this is perfect for that day to night look.
