Summer is OFFICIALLY HERE! Well, maybe not if you ask the people who pay close attention to the summer equinox, but for all intents and purposes, we’ve got warm weather and sunny skies ahead of us.
Of course, a change in the seasons means a change in fashion too. That’s why today, we’re breaking down 5 of the hottest summer 2021 trends and how to wear your favorite Dickinson Jewelers pieces with them.
Trend: Florals
Pair with: Delicate jewelry
Taylor Swift once said she “comes back stronger than a 90s trend,” and there’s no doubt that she was picturing the floral outfits everywhere when she wrote those lyrics! Blooms are everywhere! Floral prints are definitely one of the hottest trends out there this summer, and they can seem tricky to pair jewelry with. After all, floral dresses and shirts can sometimes seem busy. That’s why you’ll want to break out some of your more delicate, dainty jewelry when you wear this look.

Statement jewelry can overpower florals, but this simple silver bracelet is a perfect match! It adds a glamorous touch to any outfit without seeming too busy.

More of an earring gal? You’re in luck! Classic diamond studs never go out of style, and they look perfect with any floral look!
Trend: Checkerboard Print
Pair with: Colored jewelry
Checkerboard is back in a big way. From gingham to classic black-and-white, checkerboard is super trendy for summer 2021. Much like florals, checkerboard print can get busy if paired with the wrong jewelry. We’re big fans of matching your jewelry to the primary color in your print to create a polished, cohesive look.

Rocking green squares? Use emeralds to bring the color throughout your look. These simple emerald studs are perfect.

Don’t fret if your checkerboard print is multicolored. Diamonds go with everything! This Shy Creation white gold and diamond bracelet is a fun way to incorporate jewelry into your style.
Trend: Square-cut necklines
Pair with: Statement necklace
This trend is straight from the 90s and absolutely BEGGING for an eye-catching necklace...or necklaces! Square-cut necklines look amazing with layered necklaces. First, you’ll want to start with a longer necklace that complements your shirt.

This long layering necklace from Hopscotch is a great contender! Then, you’ll want to have other, shorter necklaces to add on. This Kendra Scott choker is excellent as your shortest necklace.

If you find layering jewelry intimidating, you should try one of our multi-strand necklaces. This takes some of the guesswork out of the layering equation and allows you to really focus on your clothing. We really like this Kendra Scott triple strand necklace, which provides the illusion of layering with the ease of a single necklace.

Trend: Oversize sunglasses
Pair with: Hoop earrings
If your eyewear is big, your earrings need to stand out! Hoop earrings are a great way to draw attention to your face.

These sterling silver hoops are called “One Hot Havana Night,” and we definitely can picture a summer dance party happening with these babies!
If gold’s more your speed, you’ll love these hammered brass hoop earrings. Simple and lightweight yet effortlessly stylish, they’re perfect for fast summer fashion!

Trend: Puffy sleeves
Pair with: Eclectic jewelry
Puffy sleeves are super trendy yet still intimidating to many. They can be styled so many different ways! It’s hard to give one definitive jewelry look because puffy sleeves have so many looks of their own: prairie girl, edgy, professional. Generally speaking, you’ll want to match your jewelry to the tone of your outfit — no formal, traditional pearl necklaces with your flowy cowgirl top, for example. That being said, consider trying something new if you’re already stepping outside your comfort zone! Check out this SUPER sparkly geode-inspired necklace.

If your neckline is pretty busy already, you might want to give your ears some sparkle. We love these lapis lazuli hoop-inspired earrings for a fun twist on a traditional silhouette.
