We want to look our best on our holiday and travelling abroad gives us the perfect opportunity to experiment with style and accessories. The right jewellery can transform even the most understated outfit into something truly sophisticated.
There are so many exciting destinations for your 2025 getaway so naturally you’ll want your wardrobe to match these stunning backdrops. Whether you're dressing for sun-soaked relaxation or an elegant winter escape, this guide will show you how to accessorise your holiday outfits for a show-stopping look.
Choose Statement Pieces for a Show-Stopping Look
Statement jewellery is an effortless way to elevate any holiday ensemble. Oversized earrings or a jewelled pendant can turn a simple ensemble into something dramatic and luxurious. UK jewellery trends this season tend to lean towards opulent pearls and alluring sustainable gemstones.
Pearls were once considered traditional and are now making a strong comeback featuring modern designs with a contemporary edge. Pairing these with a minimalist top or demure dress allows the pearls to take centre stage without overwhelming the look.
Remember to always keep balanced with bold accessories – if you choose an oversized necklace, keep your other additions understated. Think of small stud earrings or a delicate bracelet.
Layering Jewellery for Effortless Elegance
The art of layering involves mixing and matching quality jewellery pieces such as necklaces, rings or bracelets to create a look that has depth but is still cohesive. For necklaces, start with a shorter chain or a small pendant and layer it with longer chains to create interest.
Stacking rings in various metals and textures can also add a playful yet sophisticated edge to your outfit. Mixing metals was once considered a fashion faux pas but is now a popular style choice. Don’t be afraid to combine gold and silver or rose gold and platinum to achieve an eclectic yet polished look!
Incorporating Personalised Pieces for a Unique Touch
Personalised jewellery adds a sentimental and luxurious dimension to any holiday outfit. Whether it’s a necklace with your initials, an engraved bracelet or a birthstone ring, these bespoke items make your look uniquely yours. It’s highly versatile, working as beautifully with casual daywear as it does with glam evening attire.
Engraved pieces, such as bracelets or rings, also add a layer of emotional significance, making them perfect for holiday outfits where you may want to showcase something more meaningful.
Sustainable Jewellery for a Conscious Luxury
As awareness around ethical fashion grows, many jewellery brands are offering eco-friendly designs made from recycled materials or responsibly sourced gems. Choosing sustainable jewellery allows you to feel good about your style choices while adding an air of conscious luxury to your holiday outfits.
Many sustainable pieces are crafted with the same level of artistry and attention to detail as traditional luxury jewellery. Recycled gold offers the same sheen and durability as newly mined gold but comes with a smaller environmental footprint.
