2025’s Surprising Trend: Pearls Stealing the Spotlight

Did you know that in Ancient Rome, pearls were the ultimate sign of power? Only those from the ruling classes were allowed to wear them. This tradition continued during the French Monarchy as they were worn by royalty, displaying authority and status. In the world of haute couture, pearls have been loved by many iconic designers like Coco Chanel and my personal favourite Vivienne Westwood. She gave pearls a rebellious twist, proving that they are not just posh, but a bit of punk too! Fast forward to modern day, pearls have moved past their aristocratic roots and become trendy accessories worn by celebrities and fashion lovers alike, blending tradition and modern style.

Are Pearls Making a Comeback?

Yes indeed, pearls are making a big comeback in 2025! Don’t get me wrong, these timeless gems have never fully fallen out of style, but this year we can expect them to conquer the fashion scene once again. Last year’s fashion weeks were here to prove that. From runways to red carpets, we saw many big celebrities, like Salma Hayek and Pamela Anderson, showcasing pearls in their new era.

And it’s no wonder pearls hold great power when it comes to styling. They make a perfect accessory to elevate your look due to their elegance and sophisticated allure. Whether you’re dressed in an elegant evening gown or wearing your workwear basics, adding timeless pearls will add an edgy sophistication to your look. Therefore, wearing these elegant gems can instantly make even the most ordinary outfit feel intriguing and captivating.

Future of Pearls

Pearls have always been considered elegant and very feminine. However, the past years we’ve seen them make a shift to be seen as a more androgynous accessory. Artists like Harry Styles and A$ap Rocky, who are both known for their unique and extravagant style, have rocked them in their personal looks for some time now. These style icons have effortlessly shown how timeless pearls can once more move on from their traditional roots as being seen as feminine jewellery and thus break gender norms.

We are living in exciting times, witnessing firsthand the movement of pearls as they shift towards a new era. These elegant and timeless gems are currently being reimagined and redefining their place in the fashion world.
