Pearls are classic. They will never go out of style. However, given their timeless nature wearing pearls can get a stale looking. Or can they? Pearls are back in a big way, and they are being worn in a fresh, funky and bold manner. Rethink pearls with all these fantastic ideas and get some great inspiration.

Go bold or go home

Oversized pearls have been spotted everywhere. Here, Actress Caitriona Balfe poses in the press room at The 41st Annual People’s Choice Awards at Nokia Theatre LA Live on January 7, 2015, wearing a very large pearl bracelet.

It’s not just about large pearl cocktail rings. Oversized pearls are showing up in bracelets and necklaces. Here G. Hannelius is wearing a large pearl bracelet to a film screening in Hollywood.

Layer your pearls

Another way to update the look of your pearls is to stack them with other jewelry. Layering gold and silver pieces with your pearls makes them look more modern. Here a fashion blogger from Brazil stacked her pearls with other bracelets while in Paris. You can also try making your pearl necklaces look trendy by layering them with other necklaces too.

Pair edgier accessories with your pearls

Pearls and Chanel may go together like peanut butter and jelly, and it may be a classic look, but, to make your pearls look edgier, try wearing wilder accessories with them. Here,

Pearls are very agreeable. They really do work with whatever you are wearing. Here, for example, Julie Baumgardner, an editor at First Dibs, is leaving the Duckie Brown show wearing vintage slips, vintage shoes, J. Crew t-shirt, Chinatown pearls, and other random jewelry. Think pearls are fussy and uptight? Remember this Boho outfit.

Make classic pearls look up to date

You may not want to go out and buy oversized or other trendy pearls. You just want to make the classic strands you own look more modern. An easy fix is to wear trendier and sleeker outfits with your pearls. Here, for example, Andrea Baclea is seen wearing a Chanel purse, skirt, gloves, pearls, Fendi shoes, and Helmut Lang top during Art Basel. Who says crop tops and pearls don’t mix?
