Wardrobe Essentials: Jewelry Staples That Will Never Go Out of Style
The start of a new season is often synonymous with change, whether it’s to improve personal routines, set goals, or even make a that season closet shift. Each season brings a fresh idea about how you’d like to dress for the remainder of the year ahead. Maybe you’re rethinking how to approach your style, cleaning out your closet of unworn items of the past, or looking to update and elevate your collection of wardrobe essentials altogether. Like your clothing wardrobe – there are key jewelry essentials that never go out of style that are always the perfect accent with room for personal expression.
Every wardrobe has certain must-haves to keep dressing streamlined and easy. Jewelryessentials follow much the same rules of a capsule wardrobe, the best jeans, sweater, T-shirt, jacket, etc., translate to certain classic and timeless jewelry essentials. The perfect diamond studs and chain necklace are just as big of a fashion crutch as blue jeans and a white T-shirt. Narrow enough to keep getting dressed stress-free while also keeping you looking top-notch. Think of this as a foundational buy you can turn to daily, but one that still leaves room for those special purchases to give your look personality.
Below, is a guide to the 8 pieces of classic, timeless jewelry that will never lead you astray.
The Essentials
Stud Earrings
A key wardrobe essential – it simply goes with everything. They add an easy touch of sparkle that can be worn no matter the occasion—gym and pool included.
Hoop Earrings
It’s a classic style that delivers subtle attitude. Big or small, hoop earrings make a statement without being over the top.

A pendant is an easy way to wear something meaningful (your initials, your zodiac sign) close to your heart. Best of all, there’s no need to wear just one.

rose gold overlay

Pearl Strand
Pearl necklaces are passed down for a reason—they will never go out of style. Whether it’s a double strand with various-sized pearls, or a classic single strand you can’t go wrong with either.
Stacking Ring
Wearing more than one ring on a finger can take some strategy. Do they fit snuggly on top of each other? Do they add too much bulk to your digit? A simple gold band is a great starting point but better yet, opt for an already stacked multiring style that will do all the work for you.

Colorful Stones
Playing with the gold and silver hues in jewelry is fun but so is the blue of a sapphire or the deep red of a garnet. A colored stone accessory is the easiest way to add a bit of dimension to your all-neutral ensemble or bring out the flecks of green in your eyes.
A shiny new statement item will dazzle even more when paired with the perfect go-to jeans. And sometimes this item becomes a wardrobe essential itself. Jewelry… not a trend, not an accessory but a wardrobe essential.
