Being the First to Wear These Jewelry Trends Will Guarantee It-Girl Status

What if I told you that you don't need to buy any new clothes to look on-trend for the rest of the year? I know, I know—coming from a fashion editor, that sounds like I've lost it. But hear me out. When you have all the good wardrobe staples, wearing on-trend jewelry will instantly elevate your look and make it feel so right now. No trendy tops are required! Although, I do have a lot of fun with those and will still indulge.
One thing I love about jewelry is it never really is "trendy." Styles often come and go, but if there is one thing that I know for sure, it's that they will always come back. The latest runways that will be defining the year 2022 all found some sort of nostalgic jewelry buy and latched onto it, allowing it to flourish among the aesthetic that their shows were showcasing. Think Y2K, old money, CEO woman, etc. Allow the jewelry trends below to float into your wardrobe and give it a little update.

A fabulous investment.

Apologies to my gold hoops who are used to going everywhere with me. I have a newfound love.

Similar to previously mentioned trends, the Y necklace seemed to belong to different generations for quite some time, so I shied away from it. Now, it feels so current, and I love the implications it makes when you wear a V-neck or slightly unbuttoned shirt.

The return of the choker is all grown up. Strong and bold hardware is taking center stage nowadays.
The It girls on a budget—like myself—will be buying this.
