Seasonality and the choice of piercing jewelry; a review of the most fashionable earrings for fall and winter!

Seasonality in piercing jewelry

Piercing jewelry, like clothing, is influenced by seasonal trends and practical needs. What works well in summer—light, subtle earrings—gives way to bolder shapes and deeper colors in autumn and winter. Cooler months and layering (sweaters, scarves, hats) are factors worth considering when choosing earrings. For winter, we often choose larger, more ornate styles to remain visible with closed-in styles, while airy summer patterns give way to heavier accents that match the seasonal mood.

What types of piercings are currently most frequently chosen by customers?

Our clients most often choose ear piercings —helix, conch, or lobe. Nipples, navels, and nose piercings (septum or nostril) are also popular.

It's also worth paying attention to seasonal motifs and colors. Autumn is dominated by warm hues and inspiration from nature – seasonal piercing jewelry often features leaf motifs and stones in shades of green or red. Meanwhile, winter is dominated by festive accents and sparkling details (snowflakes, stars, crystals). Changing your jewelry with the seasons will refresh your look and highlight your unique style.

The most fashionable piercing earrings for fall and winter 2025

The new season is a great opportunity to update your collection with fashionable earrings for the end of 2025 that align with fall and winter trends. Designers and stylists suggest that several hits are especially worth paying attention to this fall and winter. Below, we present an overview of the most important piercing trends for fall and winter 2025:

• Hanging chain earrings – long, geometric chain earrings are an absolute hit of the season.

• Earrings with animal motifs – snakes, fish, or small insects; these are very popular motifs!

• Earrings with natural stones – jewelry with stones in deep colors (such as garnet, onyx, malachite, ruby) are very fashionable and add elegance to autumn styles.

Earring trends: lobe, helix, conch and more

Ear styling , the artistic combination of multiple piercings on the ear, is one of the dominant trends of 2025. The lobe (earlobe piercing) remains the foundation of most styles – classic ear holes can be adorned with both subtle studs and larger earrings. Also popular is the so-called stacked lobe – wearing several earrings in a row, which looks modern and fashionable. Meanwhile, the helix piercing (a piercing of the cartilage at the top of the ear) is the perfect place for small hoops and dangling jewelry.

Conch piercing, a piercing of the inner ear, is also becoming increasingly popular . A single or double conch piercing with a striking earring (e.g., a ring surrounding the earlobe) is a trend for the bold and attention-grabbing. Combining different piercings (lobe, helix, conch, tragus) into a cohesive composition on one ear is also fashionable.

Do you notice differences in preferences between women and men?

The differences are blurring - there is no longer a division into "typically female piercings" and "typically male piercings".

Nose and navel rings – what's hot?

It's not just ears that are experiencing a renaissance in the world of piercings . Nose rings (e.g., nostrils, septums) are also trending. Currently, nostrils adorned with a small diamond or colorful stone are in vogue , brightening up the face on gloomy days. The septum, on the other hand, most often comes in the form of a delicate gold hoop or a subtly decorated horseshoe – such jewelry goes well with both an autumn coat and a winter sweater.

Navel rings They're making a comeback! Although pierced navels are usually hidden under clothing in the winter, many people choose decorative navel rings for their own personal pleasure—embellished with crystals or pendants. They're the perfect accessory for winter trips to warmer climes or New Year's Eve parties—designs with sparkling stones or snowflake motifs are especially popular.

How to choose an earring for an autumn-winter outfit?

When choosing piercing jewelry for a given occasion or season, it's worth asking yourself: how to match the piercing to the outfit so that the overall look is cohesive? The key is to strike a balance between jewelry and outfit.

1. Match the color of the metal and stones to the color palette of your clothes – gold goes well with the warm colors of autumn, and silver with the cool winter palette.

2. Pay attention to the style of the clothes – shorter earrings will work better with turtlenecks and scarves, while longer models are best for an exposed neck.

3. Choose jewelry appropriate for the occasion – small helix hoops and a delicate nose ring are perfect for everyday wear, but for evening outings, choose larger, more ornate models.

Summary

Fall and winter are the seasons when jewelry can brighten up any outfit. Whether you opt for subtle studs or striking hoops, it's important that your piercing jewelry complements your outfit and enhances your style. Have fun with trends and experiment, but remember that your comfort and well-being are paramount.
