By

For the past Spring/Summer runways, we’ve witnessed attempts on revamping what was considered a dated trend: pearls. From Moschino’s printed pearls to Vera Wang’s omnipresent embellishments, designers have been putting their own spin on the dainty accent. But with such limited iterations of the pearl trend, it’s time to rethink ways to style the accessory in a cool, fashion-girl approved way. Drop the notion that pearls are for older women—we’ll show you how to wear them like a street style star.

Pearls can easily take a pair of jeans from looking basic to chic. Plus, frayed hemlines further adds a touch of coolness to the piece. Try wearing it with a graphic tee and a structured blazer for an easy youthful take to tailoring.
