It's official: We're living in an era of anything-goes fashion. Thanks to social media, you can now source style inspo from so. many. places. So, whenever any one trend starts standing out (looking at you, athleisure) it attracts attention.

One thing I kept noticing during my endless scrolls through street style photos from the fashion shows this past month were women wearing diamond strand earrings. Think: tennis bracelets but for your ears.

These swinging statement earrings add a glittery finishing touch to high-fashion outfits, as well as an unexpected embellishment to streetwear styles.

These swinging statement earrings showed up on lobes in New York City, London, Milan, and Paris. And their universal appeal isn't just geographic. They added a glittery finishing touch to high-fashion outfits, as well as an unexpected embellishment to streetwear styles.

While I'm sure at least some of the well-heeled women who attend fashion shows were wearing actual diamonds, in all likelihood, at least a few strands of sparklers were actually diamantes (or adorned with artificial gemstones like cubic zirconia). Either way, they were the coolest new accessory I clocked all month, making them my biggest fall earring trend for 2018. Better yet? They'll still be in style come holiday season.
