The fashion accessory you can't do without this spring
Bling bling, what sparkle and shine and you’re ready. This jewelry trend is not to be missed, because 2026 is all about bold accessories.
Spotted in the lecture halls
Online it popped up here and there, but also at my study (Artemis), where all the fashionistas roam, I spotted it recently: super cool oversized blazers full of pearls, buttons, flowers, gold, silver, and other shiny details.
A touch of nostalgia
In the past, when my grandma visited, she always wore a brooch. From large golden flowers to a green peacock with real feathers. So, when I think of brooches, I immediately think of her.
Why are we fans?
How cool is it to spice up your outfit with brooches? Sometimes you don’t feel like wearing big earrings or a heavy necklace, but you still want to make a statement, then brooches are perfect. And if you love maximalism, you can just combine them with many other pieces of jewelry. The beauty is: they can actually go anywhere. On your blazer, cap, bag, jeans (or shorts), belt, tie, blouse, and I could go on like this for a while.
Where do you find them?
Now I hear you thinking: nice, but where do I find this? Believe me, I recognize it, as soon as you are specifically looking for something, it seems like that item has spontaneously disappeared from every store.
So I flew to the end of the rainbow for you to gather the most beautiful sparkling pieces. They are lined up for you below. If you really want to invest in unique pieces, sometimes a bit pricier, definitely check out Vinted and Vestiaire Collective. Pro tip: dive into the closet of your grandma, aunt, or mother, because that’s where the real gems are often hidden.
Last tip
One last tip: combine. The crazier, the better. Mixing and matching colors, textures, and shapes is totally on-trend.
And then just hope that the magpies don’t come at you with all that gold.
