Striped Cardigans + Jeans

Two is better than one. Choose cardigans in complementary tones and distinct lengths with a neatly buttoned down or cropped version under an open, more relaxed cardigan. To finish the look, pair it with mid-wash denim, especially wide-leg jeans and an elongated belt for a hint of drama.  This layered approach elevates the classic cardigan while showing off your knack for proportion and texture play.

Usually, necklaces and earrings may be the last thing you put on when piecing together an outfit, but these accessories are certainly not the least part of the whole ensemble, especially when it comes to the 2024 trending styles.
 
The accessories spotted on the spring/summer runways were a blend of y2k-meets-bohemian tone. The accessories during the early aughts play an important role in perfecting the fashion of that era. This season, body chains are back, and so are belts that are more decorative than they are functional. Shoulder-grazing earrings, and layers of beads and chains are also back on trend. Other jewelry trends that are gaining momentum include floral chokers and anklets. Below are some of the biggest and the best 2024 jewelry trends that’ll have you shining stylishly bright.

Anklets
 
Designers like Miu Miu and Paco Rabanne have been dressing up their models with anklets on the fashion runways. This jewelry trend can be easily incorporated into your 2024 accessories lineup. Go for something sleek and simple like gold, tubular styles, or glam things up with a pearly anklet to take on the trend.
 
 
Inspiration from the ocean
 
Designers like Schiaparelli have looked to the deep sea for inspiration. This resulted in chokers and large pendants that are made to look like lobsters, crabs, starfish and other sea creatures. But if you don’t like the idea of wearing a huge lobster on your neck, you can still dabble n the trend with small charms and studs that pay homage to the ocean. 
 
Super Sized Acccessories
 
If you don’t mind large accessories, then you are going to have fun leaning into oversized when it comes to 2024 jewelry trends. Big sculptural jewelry will be everywhere this season.
