2025 winter trends: How to mix and match jewelry through layering

The trends of winter 2025 have inspired us to focus more on jewelry layering and to take it to the next level. Combining multiple gold chains, rings or bracelets will allow you to create a unique and stylish look that will bring even the simplest winter outfit to life. In this article, we’ll give you some practical tips and inspiration on how to coordinate jewelry layering with your outfits.

Jewelry layering: The modern way to express yourself

Layering jewelry opens up the possibility of creatively combining different chain lengths, ring sizes or types of bracelets and earrings. Layering makes it possible to create a unique and distinctive look that is also harmonious and coordinated.

• How to layer necklaces: The basic rule of layering is to combine together different lengths and types. For instance, gold chains are a great complement to a long freshwater pearl necklace. Don’t forget about different types of textures too – shiny and matte finishes will create an interesting dynamic together.
• Layering rings: You could for instance combine several thin gold rings on one finger and pair them with a bolder gemstone ring. You’ll achieve an interesting, contrasting effect on the hand and the rings will stand out beautifully.
• Pairing bracelets: With gold bracelets, it’s best to layer different shapes and widths. But if you want to take layering to the next level, you could try combinations with other materials such as leather, which will add just the right amount of originality to an outfit.

Minimal vs. statement jewelry

While some prefer minimalism in their jewelry, others like bolder statement pieces. Whether you’re into one or the other, trust us, there will be room for both trends this year and even the option to combine them.

Minimalist styling is specifically for those who like clean lines and fine details and who don’t enjoy too much extravagance. This type of jewelry can make a great base for jewelry layering, so if you enjoy this trend, now is the time to make the most of it.

Statement pieces like chunky necklaces, big rings or striking earrings can add a bold element to your outfit. These jewelry pieces contrast beautifully with the muted colors of winter clothing and they also pair well with the simpler pieces in your wardrobe. They can make your outfit stand out and add the right amount of individual style to it.

Styling jewelry with winter outfits

In winter, being able to match your jewelry with the rest of your outfit is important since layering will also dominate your overall outfit. Here are some tips to dress up your look.

1. Turtlenecks and scarves: Gold chains look great paired with turtlenecks, especially if you choose longer necklaces that accentuate the neck. If you wear scarves, choose shorter necklaces that remain visible even under layers of fabric.
2. Gloves and rings: Rings may seem impractical in winter, but if you choose understated, minimal designs, you’ll be able to wear gloves with them easily. But if you want your rings to stand out in winter, you could opt to style them over your gloves for a bolder but very chic look. If you’d like to do this, you just need to make sure that the ring is slightly larger than your usual size.
3. Over sleeve bracelets: Gold bracelets can be worn over a thin shirt or turtleneck sleeves. This styling trick will liven up your outfit and allow the jewelry to stand out better.

Conclusion

The trends of winter 2025 have been motivating us to not be afraid of experimenting. Layering jewelry is a great way to express your personality and to add style and elegance to your winter outfits. Whether you take a pared back approach or get carried away with bold statement pieces, the key to success is harmony and the right combinations. Allow yourself to explore new possibilities and let your jewelry shine on cold winter days.
