As the days grow shorter and the air takes on a crisp edge, it’s time to rethink your everyday carry – starting with your jewellery. For men who value both style and substance, the shift from summer to autumn is the perfect moment to update your accessories and embrace pieces that are as tough and adaptable as you are.
Why Transition Your Jewellery for Autumn?
Summer calls for lighter, minimal accessories. But autumn brings new challenges: unpredictable weather, outdoor adventures, and a change in wardrobe. The right men’s jewellery not only complements heavier fabrics and earthier tones but can also add practical utility to your daily kit.
Key Styles for the Season
1. Go Bold with Stainless Steel
Heavier layers mean you can get away with chunkier pieces. Our Link Bracelet, crafted from 316L stainless steel, stands out against autumn jackets and jumpers. Its robust byzantine chain isn’t just for show – it’s built to last and ready for anything the season throws your way.
2. Add Functional Flair
Autumn is prime time for spontaneous hikes, camping trips, and late-night bonfires. Why not wear jewellery that’s as useful as it is stylish? The Hitch Bracelet features a paracord construction and a flint-and-steel clasp – perfect for lighting a fire when you’re out in the wild.
3. Layer Up with Pendants
With more layers comes more opportunity to show off a statement pendant. The Longhorn Pendant and Wayfinder Pendant are both subtle enough to peek out from under a shirt, but bold enough to catch the eye. Pair with a 50cm chain for the perfect fit over your autumn wardrobe.
4. Earthy Tones and Rugged Beads
Autumn is all about earthy colours—think deep greens, browns, and blacks. The Blackthorn Bracelet uses elasticated beads for a comfortable, rugged look that works as well on a trail as it does at the pub.
Practical Tips for Seasonal Jewellery Care
- Keep It Dry: Rain and mud are part of autumn. Dry your jewellery after outdoor adventures to prevent tarnish and wear.
- Store Smart: Use a sturdy, lined box to store pieces when not in use – especially if you’re switching between summer and autumn favourites.
- Check the Fit: Cold weather can make wrists shrink slightly. Make sure your bracelets still fit comfortably over long sleeves or gloves.
