For centuries, pearls have been valued as objects of rare beauty and have traditionally been styled with formal and traditional attire. But no longer! This season, designers highlighted pearls on the runways paired with everything from denim to red carpet looks. If you haven’t thought about how you can add pearls to your wardrobe, we’ll show you our 4 favorite ways to wear pearls this season.

With Leather

Textiles don’t come any edgier than leather. But interestingly, stylists are pairing this rock-n-roll fabric with all manner of pearl accents, from dainty studs and drops to multiple strands piled on in abundance. Especially current are colored pearls – in chocolate, black, blue and creams. It’s the juxtaposition that brings out the best in both materials.

With Denim

Denim and pearls don’t seem like they’d go together – but it turns out that adding pearl accents elevates your denim to high fashion. You can wear traditional round pearls, but we like the look of uneven and multicolored fresh water strands to give your denim a funkier edge.

With Boho Styles

The bohemian trend is big this season, and accessorizing with long strands of pearls is a perfect accent to softer, flowy attire. For this look, we recommend wearing pearls in long, long, layers, making them the focal point of the outfit.

As Embellishments

Pearls aren’t just for jewelry anymore. You can find pearl headbands, pearl-encrusted clutches, and pearl-embellished scarves as well as pearl embroidered skirts, jeans and sweaters. If you aren’t inclined to sport pearl jewelry (real or costume), wearing pearls on your clothes or in your hair is another way to don this trend.

So give pearls a fresh look – they’re sure to keep you at the height of style this season.
