Pearls: Fashion’s Most Timeless Trend
If diamonds are a girl’s best friend, then what does that make pearls? Our very own former First Lady, Jaqueline Kennedy, was quoted as saying, “pearls are always appropriate.” Jackie Kennedy herself, like many other former first ladies, was a fashion icon like no other and was an inspiration for all things beauty and fashion, particularly remembered for her classic pearl look. This signature accessory is universally recognized as a symbol of elegance, wisdom, and, overall, a woman’s true beauty.
Pearls are recognized as the oldest gemstone known to man and have been worn, valued, and coveted since time immemorial. These days, Chanel, Givenchy, Gucci, and various other famous fashion designers have heavily incorporated pearls into their jewelry collections. But they have even gone beyond that, weaving them onto clothes, bags, belts, sunglasses, and anything else they could possibly think of.

What started out as a simple piece of jewelry has become something else entirely. Pearls are refined statement pieces, the icing of any outfit, making you look like a million bucks. From a pearl detail knit sweater to a pearl statement dress to a luxury pearl-studded embellished mesh shirt, we can’t get enough of pearl apparel. Designers are even adding pearls to shoes, including flip flops, sandals, boots, stilettos, flats, and of course, heels. Pearls truly are a woman’s best friend.
With winter just around the corner, a great way to enhance the look of shirts, blouses, coats, and sweaters is with these feminine embellishments. Pearls are excellent for creating a delicate look that is both elegant and effortless. Not to mention, a scattered pearl sweater is casual as well as daring in the perfect setting.
Handbags, wallets, phone cases, headbands, you name it. Pearls are the perfect way to accessorize any look. If you’re one for hair accessories like clips and headbands, then wearing pearls in your hair is the perfect look for you. Pearls worn in your hair give that extra-special touch to your outfit. Chic pearl-studded sunglasses have also become a common way to infuse femininity and creativity into your look. Pearl accessories can help to dress up even the most casual outfit.
Are you looking for a new trendy nail art idea for the fall and winter seasons? If so, cute French tip nails that put a modern twist on the classic are the design for you. Minimalist nail art with pearls adds some extra elegance to simple white tips. If you love a good French manicure, then you’ll love these modern and cute French nails. Nail art has become a form of expression in the beauty and fashion industry, and this delicate pearl nail design just gives us another reason to adore pearls in everyday fashion.
The timeless classic of pearl necklaces is once again being turned modern. Some of the most popular ways to wear pearls today seem to be by parading a large pearl statement piece or layering different lengths of pearl strands and combining them with other fashionable pieces of jewelry, such as gold chains. The most stunning and luxurious-looking style is mixing and matching gold statement pieces with faux pearl-beaded hoop earrings.
Throughout the years, pearls have been modernized and used as a classic accessory. Simple yet elegant, pearls will never go out of style. They are and forever will be one of fashion’s most timeless trends.
