These Colorful Summer 2021 Jewelry Trends Are So Dreamy
With the flowers blooming and the birds chirping now that it's spring, this only means that summer is right around the corner. Soon we'll be wearing sandals, swimwear, cutoffs, and bright summery jewelry, of course. Since the pandemic started, we all have been yearning for mood-lifting jewels that will brighten up our days. If you think about it, jewelry has been a constant throughout the pandemic; it's helped us feel dressed up for any last-minute virtual calls, and throwing some on is a quick and easy way to make any outfit (no matter how casual) look put together.
Some of the summer 2021 jewelry trends are ones you might have seen before—chains and charms are definitely here to stay!—while others like neon enamel and glitzy earrings seem new and refreshed for the warmer season ahead. You might be tempted to wear them all because they're just so dang gorgeous! Whether you're headed to the beach while being socially distanced from others, reading in the park, running errands, or staying at home for a chill day, here are six cute jewelry trends to wear this summer. Curious about some of the other ~happening~ styles for the season? Check out these summer fashion trends, shoe trends, and bag trends.
