Can jewelry be both “cozy” and cute during the winter months? When it comes to this time of the year when you’re bundled up and ready to go outside with earmuffs and scarves, you might want to reconsider wearing anything that is too heavy or extravagant. There’s plenty of jewelry to wear during the winter that you cannot during the summer and besides, with that heavy jacket and hat on, no one will be able to see that necklace you’re wearing until you’re inside. Here are a couple of jewelry alternatives to staying trendy, but comfortable at the same time.

Less is more

The current trend is to layer different strands of jewelry, but because you will most likely already be wearing layers during the winter season, jewelry can be kept simple to balance your look. Save your bold jewelry for the winter cocktail parties when you’ll be most likely wearing a nice dress or top and then you can show off a layered necklace or chunky bracelet look much easier.

If you do want to go bold with your jewelry, consider wearing pieces that are made out of cloth instead of heavy metals so they are not wearing you down. Bib necklaces that are made out of soft fabrics are perfect for winter when they’re otherwise considered too warm to wear for other months. A bib necklace doesn’t just have to be made out of fabric alone. Tribal necklaces with Turquoise and other gemstones can help brighten up your look.

Glimmering metals

To match the gleam of winter, metal-focused jewelry is popular, but make sure you wear pieces that are hypoallergenic and won’t aid in irritating your dry skin during the season. You should never really skimp out on precious metals because anything made with a bit of nickel can easily irritate the skin no matter how cold it is outside. To lessen the chance of your jewelry irritating your skin, your best bet is to consider the following metals:

  • White gold
  • Rose gold
  • Sterling Silver

Metal jewelry can help to liven up your look in winter but too much of it may make you look like an ice queen. Because of its cool tones that remind of frost and snow, Larimar gemstones are beautiful to wear during the winter season. Actually, Larimar is mined only in the Dominican Republic, so when you look down at the icy blue color, it may remind you of clear water and beaches instead. A warm welcoming idea indeed during winter.

Liven up a room

We all get the winter blues every once in a while with being stuck inside all day so why not bring out the sun with your jewelry? Golden Amber jewelry is a beautiful way to brighten up your day. Made from fossilized tree resin, even sticks and leaves are sometimes visible.

Scarf charms and jeweled outerwear

Just because it’s scarf season, it doesn’t mean that you need to hide your jewelry underneath it. Scarf charms are a new trend to add some extra detail to your outside wardrobe. Just wrap your scarf anyway that you wish and clip on a charm. It’s also a great way to change up your look without having to buy enough scarves to fit a full drawer.

Consider updating your old hat and earmuffs too. They shouldn’t have to be boring or just a basic color such as black. With new patterns being produced each year, it’s never too late to replace something old with a new look.

During the winter season, sometimes we just want to keep things simple and you can do that with these different jewelry ideas from new accessories, soft necklaces, light metals, and bright gemstones.
