How to Elevate Your Accessories for Autumn
By Sophie Lindley - 9th September 2026
As the air turns crisp and we reach for our favourite chunky knits, it’s the perfect time to refresh your everyday accessories. If you're ready to retire the bright summer beads and tuck away the anklets, we have exactly what you need to give your jewellery box an autumnal twist. We’ve curated the best of our new-season edit, from chunky drop earrings to glossy beaded necklaces, giving you standout pieces designed to be layered, stacked, or worn solo for the ultimate cool-weather look.
How can I upgrade my everyday jewellery for the season?
Elevating your everyday jewellery for a new season is all about embracing different textures and silhouettes. Autumnal accessorising tends to involve richer, more tactile textures, and bolder shapes and styles that struggle to get lost against heavy fabrics. You're less likely to wear low necklines or thin layers when the weather cools, so swapping out some daintier chains or stacking beads for chunky, glossy, statement pieces is perfect for ensuring your accessories still stand out. Leaning into warm, earthy colour palettes is ideal for creating a seasonal pop against plainer colours like a black jumper or a white blouse.
While metal colours tend to be a personal choice, switching up your dainty silver pieces with chunky gold plated stainless steel rings, bracelets, earrings, or chains can be a great way to keep your pieces standing out during the dreary weather days. Not only does stainless steel jewellery offer a sleek, modern edge to balance out the softer fabrics in your wardrobe, but they are perfect for stacking up across all your fingers to create a statement look that easily carries you right through to the following spring.
Some of our must-have autumnal styles include:
- A statement necklace like this Semi Precious Beaded Heart Pendant Necklace
- A delicate layering chain like this Stainless Steel Star Chain Necklace
- A quirky oversized ring like this Stainless Steel Chunky Pebble Wrap Ring
- A beautifully-beaded bracelet like this Semi Precious Adjustable Toggle Bracelet
- Some stunning statement hoops like these Organic Interlocking Hoop Earrings
- A dainty pair of stacking studs like these Crystal Clover Stud Earrings
Our top 3 picks for nailing autumn accessory style
When it comes to our top picks for getting your autumnal accessory style just right, the focus is on pieces that balance durability with the undeniable charm of the cosy season. We like to start with earrings, as they're an easy everyday piece that can subtly elevate an outfit without overpowering. Switching up your dainty huggies or thin hoops with a pair of chunky stainless steel hoops that can be seen catching the light even when your hair is down provides an ultimate cool-weather staple, offering a sleek, polished edge that won't tarnish or get lost amongst an oversized scarf or a heavy collar. We love these Stainless Steel Boho Creole Hoop Earrings in Gold for their unique texture and retro design.
You could try leaning into the art of layering with a chunky beaded piece like this Brown Resin Stone Chunky Beaded Necklace in Gold in a rich, earthy colour palette, giving a gentle nod to the browning of the leaves at this time of year. Whether peeking out from beneath a classic trench coat or resting on the collar of a simple crewneck, these heavier pieces provide weight and texture in equal measure, and instantly elevate your style with just one addition.
Finally, swapping out more minimalist hardware for nature-inspired pieces is a great way to subtly hint at the magic of the season. Consider pieces with woodland themes such as leaves, acorns, pinecones, or toadstools as cute reminders of the whimsical season we're in. We adore these Maple Leaf Stud Earrings in Gold for their rich, autumnal theme, and the size and shape makes them perfect for stacking in your lobes and creating an easy but eye-catching autumnal curated ear look.
How can I create a statement with my style for the season?
Creating a true statement with your autumn style is all about playing with scale and colour to ensure your accessories stand out against heavier cold-weather layers. We recommend starting by anchoring your look with an oversized chain - either around your neck or on your wrist - as heavy metals can instantly elevate a simple outfit into a striking, confident ensemble. Don't hesitate to push the boundaries on your wrists, too, by stacking a chunky resin bangle like this Enamel Chunky Cream Bangle Bracelet directly over the cuffs of a fine-knit jumper for an unexpected flash of texture and flair.
To tie the whole aesthetic together, consider building your stack around a mix of seasonal shades. We love this Brown Semi Precious Heart Charm Beaded Bracelet in Gold for its glossy texture and rich, chocolate brown shades. Stacked against gold pieces like this stunning Stainless Steel Dual Link Chain Bracelet in Gold, you'll effortlessly create a slick, seasonal stack that stands out against any colour you choose to wear.

What wintry accessories are must-haves this season?
As the crisp autumn air gives way to a deeper wintry chill, your cold-weather uniform calls for accessories that deliver on both maximum warmth and effortless style. At the top of this season's must-have list is our great range of knit scarves, offering a variety of shades and striking patterns perfect for looping over a neutral coat or your favourite puffer jacket. This Burgundy and Grey Tartan Winter Scarf is a firm favourite of ours - providing deep, rich plum, striking navy, and soft cream tones in a classic tartan print, allowing for a sweet, seasonal touch to almost any outfit.
To seamlessly complete the look, pair your statement knitwear with one of our super soft beanies. In a great range of subtle, seasonal tones like berry burgundy and smooth mocha, our beanies are perfect for providing an essental layer of cosy practicality while also tying your entire wintry aesthetic together.
What other accessories help elevate autumnal style?
While statement jewellery and heavy outerwear often take centre stage this time of year, elevating your autumnal style ultimately comes down to the smaller, more unexpected details. Upgrading your everyday hair ties and bands to polished pieces designed to create a statement as well as hold your hair add a refined, intentional touch to your look. Consider glossy resin and tortoiseshell claw clips or barrettes in rich, seasonal shades. We adore this Large Tortoiseshell Bow Hair Clip for its sleek, statement style designed to add a pretty touch to an otherwise functional hair-do. For a smaller piece with just as much impact, this Tortoiseshell Oval Hair Claw Clip is ideal for holding half-ups in place and stands out beautifully against dark or bright-coloured hair.
Don't overlook your accessories in other departments, too. As we transition back into chunky ankle boots or statement loafers, letting a soft, stylish pair of wintry socks intentionally peek out adds a thoughtful layer of cosiness. We adore these Jess & Lou Cream Zig Zag Cosy Socks for their super soft wool blend texture and their stunning addition of colour pops, easily adding interest to an otherwise neutral or timeless outfit.
Mastering this season's aesthetic is all about playing around with rich textures and bolder shapes and designs. Embracing deep, earthy tones and experimenting with stacking lets your newly upgraded accessories do the heavy-lifting for your cold-weather wardrobe.
