Return Of The Pearls: Here’s How To Wear Them

Written for THREAD by ZALORA

Move over diamonds — pearls are our new best friends. Gone are the days when pearls were thought to be stuffy and old-fashioned. These classic gemstones are meant to be worn at any age and for any occasion.

Compared to other gems and jewels, pearls are far more versatile than one might think. The styles range from minimalist and dainty, bold and edgy, to luxurious and refined. No matter what your personal style is, there are plenty of pieces that will suit you.

Keep reading to see how you can wear different types of pearl jewelry and accessories.

Casual and Understated

You can never go wrong with a simple pair of pearl stud earrings. These will go with almost any outfit, even if you’re just wearing a V-neck shirt and denim jeans or shorts. The pearls won’t look out of place at all but will instead blend in with the rest of your outfit.

Pretty in Pink

This ensemble screams Chanel Oberlin meets Regina George. Even though pearls mostly come in white, off-white, and beige, you can still play around with color. Statement pieces like these that combine pearls and other gemstones will definitely turn heads.

Cottagecore

The cottagecore aesthetic blew up in 2020 and is still super trendy up to now. Even if you’re spending the day outdoors and having a picnic, you can still rock your peals. Another fun way to wear pearls is by using pearl-studded handbags that have rose in popularity online as of late. Granted, you can’t put much in them but that isn’t really the point, is it? They’re adorable.

Dressed to Impress

If you want to incorporate pearls into your style but are afraid of overdoing it, minimalist watches like these from Canal St. Martin make the perfect accessory. They’re classy, sleek, and not too flashy — exactly what every modern working woman needs.
