Glisten up – gold jewellery is everywhere right now, and it’s got a whole new look for SS17. From clean shapes to luxe layering pieces, we asked fashion bloggers Jess from Cocoa Chelsea and Emily from Style Lobster to show us how they’re wearing the latest gold metal must-haves in our exclusive street style special.
Full Circle
Emily wears: Floating Circles Round Necklace, £12 | Pearl & Hoop Earrings, £6
Combining a luxe aesthetic with simple design details, geometric necklaces make their return for SS17 – and gold is the only way to go. Give a nod to the new season (without feeling the cold) by layering yours over high-neck knits for an effortless take on winter style, swapping to crisp shirts as the weather warms up.
New Lengths
Jess wears: Circle Long Pendant Necklace, £8 | Criss-Cross Bangle, £6
Longer necklaces re-emerge for the season ahead, with fine, sweeping chains and circular pendants taking the top spot on our wish-lists. Dusky pastels are the best way to keep their delicate gold glimmer in focus, while tonal styling hints at breezy spring days to come.
Off The Cuff
Emily wears: 3 x Mixed Shape Bangles, £6 | Orbit Pearl Short Drop Earrings, £8
Having firmly rooted itself as a key accessory, cuff bracelets take on a more minimalist feel for SS17. From clean designs to irregular formations, these luxe gold picks are simple enough to be stacked together, as well as worn individually. To try the trend, opt for a trio of clashing cuffs to pep-up pared-back looks without going OTT.
Layer It On Me
Jess wears: Brushed Circles Necklace, £10 | Modern Pearl Long Pendant Necklace, £8 | Criss-Cross Bangle, £6
Statement necklace + long chains = the new way to layer. Master the new fashion formula with a simple collar necklace, opting for soft, clean shapes over anything embellished. Balance it out with a long-line chain with a glossy orb pendant for a look that feels oh-so-now.
Hoop Up
Emily wears: Pearl & Hoop Earrings, £6 | Leopard Wide Choker, £6
Hoop earrings are as relevant as ever, adding a dose of ‘90s cool to any get-up. Sleek gold pairs still have major approval from the fashion crowd, while the addition of mini silver hoops bring a whole new dimension to an otherwise classic look. Add to the clash-up with a choker – choose a statement print that peeks above your neckline.
