7 ways to style catwalk jewelry

One of the easiest and most expressive ways to gently enter the new season is to use jewelry styling from the catwalks. It's affordable, intuitive, and almost certainly won't require new purchases: you probably already have most of the jewelry you need. The spring-summer 2026 catwalks were generous with jewelry accents that made you want to look at: pearls, signet rings, silver, massive boho necklaces with fringes became the main themes of the season. From tie clips to chandelier earrings and even sunglasses – here are the stylistic tricks with jewelry that are worth borrowing from the spring-summer shows.

Necklaces over clothes

The most talked about and easiest trend of the season to follow is wearing jewelry over clothes. Maximal in spirit and aimed more at those who prefer a bohemian aesthetic than understated luxury, this stylistic trick sounded different for each brand. Rabanne layered large floral necklaces in different metals over terry polos, while Celine suggested placing long strings of glass beads and crystals on shirts. The result is looks in which jewelry becomes a full part of the styling, rather than a finishing touch.

Tie clips

Thanks to Jonathan Anderson and Dior, the school tie has officially become the accessory of the season—especially when worn with a touch of casualness, like A$AP Rocky or Josh O'Connor. And to amp up the effect, look to the 1980s-inspired, edgy and glamorous maximalism of Dario Vitale's debut Versace collection, as well as the looks of Paul Mescal and Adrien Brody during awards season. The tie clip, in this context, is not a detail, but a statement.

Signet rings on each finger

Amidst the long-standing fascination with the preppy aesthetic—rugby shirts, bomber jackets, baseball caps—the style’s favorite accessory, the signet ring, has returned to the list of top jewelry purchases for spring. One look at Celine’s spring/summer show, directed by Michael Ryder, is enough to make the main conclusion: signet rings no longer belong only to the pinky finger. They should be worn layered, with ostentatious confidence, on every finger.

Multi-layered “beach” decorations

For Ralph Lauren, the beach can be anywhere—as long as you wear a few silver-studded string necklaces and pearls. Silver is easily ahead of gold as an investment metal, having tripled in value over the past twelve months, according to the Financial Times. So this accessory can be considered a long-term investment—both stylistically and financially.

Corsages

Editors were left speechless at Mathieu Blasi’s debut show for Chanel, held at the Grand Palais amid a massive solar-system-inspired set. But the show’s most beloved stylistic trick was surprisingly down-to-earth. Giant bodices, a nod to the house’s iconic camellia, were pinned to airy, almost sheer variations on the classic skirt suit. It was this contrast between the fragility of the silhouette and the boldness of the floral accent that made the looks especially contemporary.

Chandelier earrings and sunglasses

The unofficial award for the most spectacular hypertrophied chic goes to Saint Laurent. Here, they turned to the frank glamour of the 1980s, presenting multi-tiered taffeta dresses, biker leather and excessive XL bows. For those who are just starting to experiment with the aesthetics of excess in the spirit of Anthony Vaccarello, it is worth betting on massive chandelier earrings and large sunglasses – as if from an archival Helmut Newton photo shoot.

Brooches are everywhere

Tory Burch has officially lifted the restrictions on wearing brooches. In the spring-summer 2026 season, the designer offers an eclectic individualism, within which vintage brooches, decorated with voluminous flowers and mother-of-pearl, appear not only on the lapels of jackets or breast pockets. They are pinned to polo collars, to the deep rounded necklines of day dresses – turning the decoration into an unexpected but apt stylistic gesture.
