Expect to see more vibrant stones this season, especially in spring and summer when many want cheerful and expressive accessories, said Tiffany Tram, third-generation jeweler and cofounder of LoveLetter.

Tram told BI that vibrant stones can add a "fun" pop of color to a look and colorful jewelry pieces can feel extra personal if you choose ones with your birthstone or the birthstone of someone special.

Try to style these pieces with soft shades and clean lines so your gemstones do the talking, she added.

Everyday basics like hoop and tennis bracelets are being reimagined with asymmetry, unexpected silhouettes, and mixed metals, Olivia Landau, founder, CEO, and fourth-generation jeweler of The Clear Cut, told BI.

She said classic styles "with more personality" are really popular right now and can elevate simple looks.

For example, Landau said, traditional studs and hoops are being swapped for ear cuffs, chunky huggies, and styles with more sculptural or angular shapes.

Capsule Closet stylist Michelle Barrett said we'll be seeing a lot of people mixing finishes and styles this season.

For example, pairing delicate chains with chunky styles and silver bracelets with gold ones.

"This trend is versatile and allows for personalization, letting you combine sentimental pieces with newer finds for a curated, effortless vibe," she told BI.

Nothing says cool quite like a brooch, Kendra Sharpe, stylist and founder of Kendra Sharpe Styling + Creative, told BI.

She said we'll likely be seeing people thrift brooches and style them to match the vibe of their outfits this summer.

They come in so many styles and designs that there's one for just about any look.

To start, look for summery brooches, like ones shaped like sea creatures or shells, and play with pinning them on bags, jackets, or tops.

Dainty pieces will never go out of style — but, for now, you may want to save these staples for work or formal events.

This summer is all about chunkier styles that add personality to an outfit without sacrificing polish, Sharpe said.

Sculptural bangles, oversized dome rings, and bold hoops are on trend right now, Tram added. These chunkier pieces can give looks a touch of timeless luxury while having more visual impact than dainty pieces.

Sharpe recommends skipping oversized, attention-grabbing watch styles this summer and reaching for classic timepieces instead.

Look for sleek metal bands, minimalist faces, and designs that feel timeless rather than trendy, she said.

Branded nameplate necklaces and accessories with logos are continuing to fall out of favor this year for many, Tram said.

Instead, Landau added, she's seeing shoppers gravitate toward custom name pendants or jewelry pieces engraved with phrases or adorned with initials.

"It's not just a trend — it's a shift in how people shop for jewelry," Landau told BI. More consumers want to invest in pieces with meaning.

Several experts we spoke to said wearing a perfectly coordinated necklace, bracelet, and earring set can feel dated.

After all, Barret said, mixing metals, textures, and styles for a more personal touch is trending right now.

Instead, Landau told BI, people should focus on curating unique jewelry "pieces that work together but aren't too coordinated."

Patrick Kenger, lead personal stylist and founder of Pivot Image Consulting, told BI that backless shoes like clogs and mules are having a moment thanks to their effortless fit and breathable design.

"A great quality about these shoes is that you can easily slip them on and off," he said.

Clogs bring a retro, chunkier look, while mules have a more streamlined feel. Both offer a practical mix of comfort and style for the season.

Shimmery finishes are stepping into the spotlight this season, showing up on everything from sneakers and heels to flats. And according to fashion stylist Hailey Genevieve, gold, silver, and bold metallic tones aren't going anywhere.

"Metallic colors are the perfect way to add a statement pop to any outfit," she told BI.

Low-top vintage sneakers are trending across fashion circles, worn by everyone from street-style stars to everyday trendsetters.

Kendra Sharpe, stylist and founder of Kendra Sharpe Styling, told BI, "Low and retro is the moment right now."

Kenger said that another bonus of these sneakers is their versatility, making them ideal for a range of summer outfits.

Woven styles are everywhere right now and will likely continue to be very popular this summer.

"The woven design gives these shoes a textured look, plus added breathability," Kenger told BI.

Their airy construction and laid-back look make them easy to pair with just about anything, from casual shorts to dressier outfits.

The jelly shoes that were popular in the 90s are back with sleeker shapes and grown-up colors that feel playful but polished.

Available in all different colors and styles, they're sure to be the life of the pool party. Sharpe suggests trying the look as either a sandal or flat.

According to Kenger, cross-strap leather sandals are an elegant choice that pair well with summer fabrics like linen.

He said the sleek, structured design is ideal for dressing up casual outfits, making these a solid pick for everything from city strolls to dinner out.

Chunky sneakers and heavy platforms are taking a backseat as fashion shifts toward lighter, more wearable options.

Kenger recommends opting for more refined silhouettes like canvas shoes, which offer a clean, breathable, and easy-to-style alternative that pairs well with everything from denim to linen.

Classic plastic flip-flops may have had a brief moment, but Genevieve said they're best reserved for the beach or pool.

To keep your look elevated, the stylist recommends opting for a thong micro-heel, which is a sleek blend of a flip-flop and a kitten heel. It's an easy upgrade that works for brunch, lunch, or a night out.

Sharpe told BI that overtly branded sandals are on their way out. Instead, she said to take your quiet luxury vibe into summer with sleek sandals that have minimal branding.

"This creates a more timeless look and an added level of chicness to your looks," the stylist said.

As wonderful and classic as ballet flats are, according to Genevieve, they're a bit too safe for this season. For a more exciting and trendy replacement, she suggests a woven style instead.

Or, for something more casual, Kenger said a more breathable and lightweight mesh flat will do the trick.
