Falling for Fall Colors: Cold-Weather Fashion Guide

As the cool winds blow in, we get caught up in the magic of the changing colors around us. Bright greens turn into a symphony of reds, yellows, oranges, and browns. Vibrant pumpkins and other winter squashes start popping up everywhere. Families start fires to warm their homes, filling the room with the sound of a flame crackling in the fireplace. As our environment shifts, most of us choose to adapt our style to the season. Not only do we start wearing warmer clothes, but we start wearing warmer colors. For a few months, we all fall for fall colors.

Winter clothes and accessories are heavy and they cover most of our bodies. This makes it harder to wear jewelry because either the jewelry is covered up or it adds extra layers to an already over-layered outfit, causing the jewelry to get in the way or catch on your clothes. Yet, for those of us who love a little sparkle and who do not feel complete without jewelry, we can still dress up while staying comfortable in the cold. So let’s discuss some cold weather fashion guides that will make your style flawless this season.

Bracelets

Bracelets are best for people who mainly wear scarves and beanies with their fall attire. Gloves are the only accessory that doesn’t typically work well with bracelets because together, they can make your wrists too bulky and result in uncomfortable indents in your skin. LVB003B, a simple milgrain-detailed chain bracelet with oval-shaped honey citrine, lemon citrine, and smoky quartz gems, is a perfect cold-weather wrist accessory. Not only does this bracelet features all the best natural earthy tones of autumn, but being a chain-based bracelet instead of a bangle, its shape will adapt to any sleeves you wear. Bangles are bulky and would feel uncomfortable under a thick jacket or sweater sleeve, whereas this bracelet will move with ease.

Earrings

On the other hand, fashion earrings are best for people who do not wear beanies, but who instead sport scarves and gloves to stay warm. Depending on the type of beanie, your ears could be completely covered, or only the tops of your ears could be covered. Studs work with either type of beanie, but anything that dangles should only be worn if your lobes are uncovered. But, earrings can also catch on scarves, depending on the material. This is why we suggest stylized studs during the cold season.

LVE559-GT, cushion-shaped dark-red garnet studs with detailed silver-halos, will work with any autumn clothing. The deep tone goes great with scary Halloween outfits, festive Thanksgiving garments, and even into the jolly Christmas season’s red theme. The detailing on the halo also feels more dressed up, making up for the loss of statement jewelry in the autumn like dangling earrings and hoops. The detailing is also very rounded and smooth, meaning it will not catch on anything you wear. Earrings like these will make any selfie or portrait you take in front of an ombre tree, absolutely gorgeous. The falling leaves will reflect in its red facets.

Rings

Rings are like bracelets, they do not pair well with gloves but go great with any other winter accessories and outfits. A ring does not get in the way of sleeves, scarves, beanies, or other jewelry. It is also a great way to add a touch of rose gold, the most popular fall metal color, into your wardrobe. CGR047P-DMRG not only features rose gold, but it also features Morganite, a peachy tone that mimics the glow of a Japanese maple’s leaves. This color combination is very fashion-forward and will look beautiful with other warm colors you might be wearing especially brown and orange tones. These tones are also known to complement nearly every person’s complexion, especially in the cold weather when the cold brings a rosy-blushed look to your cheeks. The diamond halo also means this ring looks beautiful with classic diamond studs, creating a timeless look you could wear to work, a holiday party, or our with friends.

Necklaces

LVP698-SSRC

Necklaces and pendants are one of the more complicated pieces of jewelry to wear during the colder seasons because our necks and chests get cold very easily, so they are typically completely covered in sweaters, cardigans, and scarves. To avoid feeling too overwhelmed, especially if you typically prefer statement jewelry, wear a bold pendant instead of a statement necklace. A bold pendant is a multilayer charm that dangles from a chain, like LVP698-SSRC, a three-stone dangle-pendant featuring black spinel, smokey quartz, and ruby corundum. This pendant features the beautiful colors of fall, almost like a sunset, getting darker with each layer. These multi-colored gems also make the pendant more adaptable to your cold-weather outfits. Alternatively, statement necklaces are highly detailed and layered all the way around your neck. These necklaces are very beautiful and flashy but they are also heavy and they easily catch other materials. Therefore, we do not suggest statement necklaces during thick clothing weather. Instead, choose simpler, more dainty jewelry, like the pendant described above.

Every Season, Every Color

LVR519-HC

Diamond jewelry is great because it goes with everything, therefore, it is not defined by the seasons, holidays, or changes in fashion. Even though diamonds are beautiful, we love colors too. With colors, you can mix it up more, and play with contrasting, complementary, or monochromatic color schemes. Simply stated, it can add excitement to an outfit by adding a pop of fall tones in unexpected ways. From rose golds to rich garnets, our Colore fine jewelry collection has the perfect rich-toned autumn pieces for everyone’s wardrobe.

Jewelry should bring you happy memories or feelings when you see it and wear it. For example, LVR519-HC is like a warm cup of freshly brewed tea, steaming on a chilly morning. The honey citrine caramelizes the vibrant yellow-orange tone of citrine into one that resembles fresh honey, or even amber. This gem would perfectly match a cozy leather jacket or waterproof leather boots. Also, with the smooth semi-bezel setting for this ring, it has no prongs or detailing that will catch on any of your fall knitwear, just like the garnet studs discussed earlier.

As we have discussed, make sure the jewelry you choose is comfortable, especially during the seasons you’ll mainly wear the piece. Luckily the cold lasts for months, giving us plenty of time to wear all of our favorite warm earthy toned jewelry.
