The under-£20 earring trend that will update your wardrobe for spring
Chunky, resin earrings are having a moment – and they’re guaranteed to freshen up your everyday outfits in a flash
Big and bold but without the price tag to match – this season’s jewellery trend has a playful touch that will elevate your everyday basics. Oversized earrings have been in vogue for years now, but rather than embellished designs with intricate touches, the fashion world is gravitating towards these sleek incarnations, made from glossy resin and moulded into striking, colourful shapes.
Reminiscent of 1960s-style cocktail jewellery, perhaps you recall the female leads in Mad Men sporting them as they sipped a Tom Collins. Tortoiseshell hoops instantly evoke the glamour of the era and provide a fun alternative to a classic gold pair this summer. Line up a set of coral pink drops to animate a white shirt, or pull hair back to show off geometric shapes in luxe marble finishes to dramatic effect.
The beauty of resin earrings is that they’re not dainty and precious. They possess a refreshingly tough durability for easy, everyday wear. Keep a pair on standby in a small pouch in your handbag to lend a touch of zing to any outfit – in the same way you’d apply a spritz of perfume or a slick of lipstick. The ultimate antidote to dainty studs and barely there sleepers, be bold with an equally eye-catching resin necklace. And with change from £20, the tricky part is settling on just one pair…
