Autumn Winter Fashion Trends

It's that time of year when the sun is low in the sky, the leaves are turning beautiful shades of red and gold and we inevitably start thinking ahead to our autumn/winter wardrobe choices.
There are several trend colours around this year, with the shops crammed full of key pieces you're certainly spoiled for choice! But how often do you unpack your purchases and realise you haven't got the right accessories to match?
At zigzag we have a huge choice of jewellery in a dazzling array of colours and styles to suit all budgets. Below are three key trend colours of the season with suggestions of stones and styles to match.

Camel is bang on trend this year, as it was last autumn/winter. Natural coloured accessories are key to complimenting this look, browns (smokey quartz), golds (citrine) and oranges (carnelian) are perfect. Hobbs have a great selection in camel like the Austin jacket which
goes perfectly with our range of citrine jewellery


Jewel Colours are huge and make a welcome change to the usual blacks and greys of the season. Of course, as the name suggests almost any gemstone would be a suitable match, depending on how brave you want to be with colour! Purples (amethyst), blues (turquoise) and greens (labradorite) are all suitable. Reiss is leading the way in beautifully structured pieces in jewel colours like the Harmony ruched dress in magenta perfect with our amethyst and vermeil madrid earrings and our statement ring Tilda, also in amethyst.



Prints carry on from spring/summer but are seen in more muted feminine colours like pale pinks (rose quartz), pale blues (aqua chalcedony) and white, cream and nudes (moonstone). French Connection has a stunning collection of prints including the whimsically named morning song peter pan top, understated and elegant, just like our lacey earrings.
