Know the styles and necklines of clothes in the season ahead to offer the right jewelry in store
Key fall ready-to-wear clothing shows in four cities—New York, London, Milan, and Paris—took place Feb. 2–March 9, resulting in a fresh crop of clothing trends that will affect the jewelry we wear. Jewelers need to note these trends (see the entire report here) in order to stock cases with the right pieces to complement the necklines and silhouettes of the season ahead. Mismatched earrings are the second trend to consider stocking; here are 10 new pairs to coordinate with the season’s most important styles.
Mismatched earrings. It was the European shows where this trend had the most momentum. Simone Rocha’s quasi-matronly frocks used over-the-top crystal numbers for drama, while Topshop Unique’s completely disparate varieties—hoops and dangly drops—spoke to the brand’s British cool-girl vibe. Even the Italians and the French agreed through the collections of Salvatore Ferragamo and Christian Dior, both of which loaded up their models’ ears with geometric pairs in varying lengths.
