The Jewelry Trend Every Girl in NYC Will Wear This Fall

When she’s not working with big names like Lupita Nyong’o, Jennifer Hudson, and Hilary Swank or fulfilling her duties as Armi Captain at luxury rental and styling platform Armarium, celebrity stylist Micaela Erlanger also divulges her fashion expertise in our Ask a Stylist column. From the best places to source vintage to the secret to finding your most flattering jeans, come back each week for a professional’s perspective.

Ask me the easiest way to update your style or make an outfit look 10 times chicer, and my answer will always be to accessorize. Simply adding a pair of earrings or tossing on a cool necklace is the detail that will instantly elevate your look, and it’s possibly the oldest style trick in the book.

While the trick itself never gets old, what you accessorize with could always use a little update each season. Timeless pieces like simple gold hoops and dainty necklaces aside, the biggest trend in jewelry for fall is statement everything. From earrings and necklaces to eye-catching rings and even anklets, the bigger the statement the better for the new season.

To ensure you’re set with the best jewels around, I’m sharing all my favorite overstated pieces I’m recommending for fall. Shop my picks below.

Shop My Instagram—These Are My Top 27 Latest Finds

Shop My Instagram is a series dedicated to our associate editor’s favorite fashion buys. Kristen always gets questions about her outfits on her Instagram account, @kristenmarienichols, so she decided to turn her latest picks into a shopping series where she can highlight current must-haves. Come back each month to find out what she’s wearing.

This month, I continued wearing some of my favorite pieces from the summer but also started to embrace some of fall’s biggest trends. I headed to Italy for a vacation at the beginning of September, so it gave me an excuse to wear all of the warm-weather items I’d been collecting, like smocked tops and cool sandals. Since I’m based in L.A., too, I can wear most of these pieces year-round.

With the season ahead on my mind, though, I’ve been inspired to add some more fall-inspired pieces into the mix. Cowboy boots are one of the trends I have been more excited about, so I was quick to add a pair into the fold, plus items like leopard jeans, velvet heels, logo midi skirts, and balloon-sleeve tops that easily blend into my wardrobe right now but will also work for months down the road.

Ahead, get a look at all of the best items in my closet right now and see exactly how I’m wearing them. Then, shop them for yourself.

This makes any outfit I wear feel instantly polished.
This authentic pair will be in my closet for years.
This wicker bag from Gucci is the perfect piece to add a pop of color.
Straight from Gucci’s runway show, this skirt is endlessly versatile. Pair it with a bold tank, a button-down, or a graphic tee.
I’ve been pairing this top with high-waisted skirts and pants.
These shoes are iconic.
Levi’s is one of my favorite brands for denim. Not only is the fit impeccable, but you can’t beat the prices either.
The classic shape and clean lines are just perfect.
Leopard is just one of the many animal prints coming from essentially every brand this season.

What I really love about this swimsuit are the barely-there straps.
A cool printed version of a classic slip dress.
All of Reformation’s tops are so good right now.
A casual take on a pencil skirt? Please and thank you.

My favorite statement earrings of the moment.
I’m wearing these with sandals now and will be pairing them with boots for the fall.
