Pearls were once a staple accessory when it came to traditional studs and strands. But, now, the accessory is making a comeback with a contemporary twist.
Not only did Chanel take pearls to the next level on the runway this past season, Ashley Williams also added pearls to her western-inspired mini dresses and Ryan Lo used them to adorn the collars and waistlines of his garments. In essence, pearls have lost their stodgy association (sorry, grandma!) and have become a trendy, chic embellishment every fashion girl wants in her closet.
Check out our favorite pieces to rock the trend below.

If you’re going for a cool-girl aesthetic, try the trend on a denim jacket. The relaxed fit creates the perfect contrast against the sophisticated vibe of the accessory.

Speaking of denim, you can also wear pearls on your pants. We love the clustered pattern of pearls seen on this cropped hem pair.

There’s so much goodness going on here, it’s hard to pinpoint what we love most about these shoes. While we’re obsessed with the side cutout and front tassel, our attention is immediately captured by those fabulous pearl-embedded heels.

This dress is the epitome of “business in the front and party in the back.” Just peep the stunning cutouts and pearl-encrusted straps!
