Move on acid brights and bring on jewel tones. Forget wearing the dress that makes you look like you’ve had an argument with a four year old armed with a paint brush. Start thinking sapphires, emeralds, garnet, citrine and amethyst!!
It’s all about jewel tones in A/W11. These tones are always present to some extent during the winter months; they are classic colours. However this year, they are far more elegant with none of the brash opulence we had last winter. They are perfect for the upcoming Christmas do’s that many of us will be attending but will also add a bit of sophistication to more casual outfits.
Missguided: Aldara Tailored Lace Pleat Dress
Many of the high street stores are channelling the jewel tone vibe and this Aldara Tailored Lace Pleat Dress from Missguided at £24.99 is an excellent way of getting in on the jewel tone look without breaking the bank. Not only does it have the jewel tones trend covered with its garnet colour but it also covers the lace trend too! Two birds, one stone…excellent!
Debenhams: Planet: Citrine Cowl Neck Jersey Top
Gemstone-hued ensembles are the way to go this autumn and citrine is the jewel tone of choice for those who want to infuse a bit of lustre into their bland and boring work-wear. This Citrine Cowl Neck Jersey Top by Planet at Debenhams nails the jewel tone trend completely; invigerating enough to add a blast of colour to dark tailored suits but also understated enough so one doesn’t look unprofessional.
My-Wardrobe.com: J Brand: Sapphire Blue Mid Rise Skinny Jeans
A more casual way of working the jewel tones look comes from my-wardrobe.com with their J Brand: Sapphire Blue Mid Rise Skinny Jeans, whilst not the cheapest of items at £205.00, these skinnies are a worthy investment. The stunning shade of blue is sure to get you noticed no matter how dressed down you are! But do be cautious what you pair them with though; as this colour does all the talking so the rest of your outfit doesn’t need too! Team with a black top and finish with a gold necklace to really set the look off.
Selfridges: Alexander Mcqueen:Classic Skull Scarf Emerald⁄Purple
Of course, these colours aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. If you aren’t as confident going all out with a bright outfit, then maybe give some accessories a try first. Such as this Alexander McQueen: Classic Skull Scarf Emerald/Purple from Selfridges. Just because the colour tones this season are elegant, doesn’t mean that you can’t introduce some punk undertones to toughen up your look. The amythest skull print on this emerald scarf juxaposes the trend perfectly. Also available in the reverse colour choice emerald on amethyst.
John Lewis:Carvela: Goldie Double Strap Peep Toe Court Shoes
Still not certain? Then why not opt for a pair of jewel tones shoes instead? These gorgeous Carvela: Goldie Double Strap Peep Toe Court Shoes in an amethyst shade are available from John Lewis for £150.00. What better way to embrace the nostagic celebration of opulence and luxury that with some sumptuous suede high heels.
The jewel tones trend really is a great chance to shine. It offers those who are colour shy an opportunity to choose a more sophisticated palette to experiment with. Whilst those who love colour are sure to get really adventurous with the look and make the most of being the most daring jewel in the room.
