Pearls aren’t just timeless ... they’re having a moment.
From maximalist runway looks to cozy fall textures, these lustrous gems are being reimagined in dynamic new ways. Here’s how to wear pearls this autumn in tune with the trends shaping the season:
1. Embrace Oversized, Sculptural Pearls
Pearls are stepping out of grandma’s jewelry box and into bold, statement-making territory. Oversized, chunky pearls are currently dominating the runways. Think dramatic necklaces, bag accents, and even clothing details à la Chanel, Givenchy, and Vaquera.
How to Style:
-
Pair a chunky pearl necklace with a leather coat in jewel tones for high-impact contrast.
-
Add bold pearl earrings to elevate turtleneck sweaters or midi skirts without feeling over-the-top.
2. Layer Long Pearls with Relaxed Silhouettes
The Nomadic Spirit trend invites dreamlike bohemian textures: flowing blouses, maxi skirts, and layered jewelry. Long, beaded pearl strands are the perfect finishing touch to these effortless, layered looks.
How to Style:
-
Wrap a long pearl choker over a billowy blouse and a wide belt to cinch your silhouette.
-
Mix pearl strands with woven belts and suede layers for a luxe holiday-country vibe.
3. Pearls Meet Preppy Academia
This fall, polished, scholar-like tailoring is everywhere: corduroy blazers, sweater vests, collared shirts. Pearls bring just the right amount of classical polish to this academia-inspired look.
How to Style:
-
Layer slim pearl chokers under collared shirts or polo tops.
-
Pair studded pearl earrings with tailored sweaters, loafers, and pleated skirts to nail that preppy vibe.

4. Textural Contrast with Fringe, Leather & Knit
Designers are adding drama through texture. Think fringe, tassels, and supple leather coats. Pearls work beautifully as a soft counterpoint.
How to Style:
-
Let pearls peek out from under a leather biker jacket.
-
Let a long pearl necklace fall over a chunky knit or draping fringe sweater for romantic drama.

5. Go Monochrome with Pearls & Jewel Tones
Fall 2025 is all about rich, saturated colors (emerald, sapphire, amethyst) mixed with tonal wardrobes. Pearls add just the right amount of subtle shine without competing with bold hues.
How to Style:
-
A single pearl drop earring can lift a royal purple blouse or an emerald dress.
-
Stack delicate pearl bracelets against jewel-toned knits to add dimension to statement color.
Final Thoughts
This fall isn’t about quiet minimalism; it’s about expressive, personality-driven fashion. Whether you’re mixing pearls with leather, layering them with bohemian silks, or matching them with tailored preppy layers, pearls give your look a timeless edge with contemporary flair.
Pearls are no longer just accessories. They’re the statement.
