Since TikTok came into our lives, there is no doubt that this social network has emerged as an epicentre of trends. Most fashion cores (balletcore, fairycore, barbiecore , cottagecore, normcore, mob wife and a long list that we could spend hours on) have become popular thanks to the videos of their users, who often transfer the trends seen on catwalks and streets to their content in an original way. But, in recent months, one of the aesthetics that has transcended digital borders to establish itself as a phenomenon is the "Chic Desert Aunt", a style popularized by stylist Allison Bornstein, which combines the boho essence with a sophisticated and timeless approach, and in which, in addition, jewelry plays an essential role in this visual narrative.
Defining the concept is a bit difficult, but to understand it better, we will talk about the "Chic Desert Aunt" both for its aesthetics and for the personality that, according to social networks, could define it. She is a woman who is distinguished by dressing as if she were in the desert, that is, comfortable, with tones that combine with the landscape, and light fabrics. That is the basis of it, everything else is what gives it that differentiating interest, because to follow the aesthetics there are some guidelines.
On the one hand, we must opt for earth tones, such as terracotta, sky blue, gray or other neutrals such as white or black. It is also essential to pay attention to the fabrics, because the more natural the fabrics, the better. Among the followers of this trend, cotton, linen or any natural fiber stands out. Of course, if something stands out in a chic desert auntie, it is her ability to elevate any of her stylish looks with accessories and complements.
How to Dress Like a Chic Desert Aunt
There are clothes that fit perfectly into your wardrobe. From flowy dresses and fluid skirts, through romantic blouses or sunglasses with colored crystals or lace dresses, to flip-flops, basic t-shirts, cotton maxi skirts, or mesh ballet flats. In the same way, there are also jewelry stipulated for all fans of this trend capable of giving the finishing touch to the outfit.
Combine jewelry in the 'Chic Desert Aunt' aesthetic
Key pieces in her collection often include necklaces and
bracelets with charms like the ones we have in our online store, which recall past adventures or stories, bracelets with natural stones like turquoise or amber, and rings with intricate designs. These elements give a handmade and authentic feel, aligning with the Chic Desert Aunt's preference for the natural and her passion for all things handmade. But to be a true Chic Desert Aunt, there are many other pieces of jewelry that you can include in your outfits. Here is the list.
Big necklaces
Charm necklaces are a must. They can be
long necklaces with pendants of different sizes (although large ones, such as
Amazonite Pebbles, Moonstone , or
Citrine are a guarantee of success),
colors and shapes, creating a layer of textures and meanings that resonate with the boho-chic aesthetic.
Semi-precious stones
Bracelets made from natural materials such as leather, embellished with antique silver details or semi-precious stones, such as our
Lucrecia bracelets, add an elegant and personalized touch capable of perfectly completing desert-inspired looks. Even when combined in layers with simpler ones, these bracelets evoke the free and adventurous spirit of the "Chic Desert Aunt".
Layers and more layers
As we have mentioned, layering necklaces, or
stacking rings and earrings , in addition to being a trend for years, is an ideal way to show off this aesthetic.
Statement earrings
Earrings should be as striking as the rest of your jewelry.
Long , cut stone earrings complement loose, relaxed hairstyles, adding a touch of drama without losing the bohemian essence of the look.
The art of combining lies in finding balance. Chic Desert Aunt's jewelry is carefully selected so that the look appears to have arisen naturally, effortlessly. For example, a pair of long earrings can accompany a simple white t-shirt and a maxi skirt, while a statement necklace can transform a basic blouse into a centerpiece of the outfit.
At Nanna Folk we are clear that jewellery is a reflection of this philosophy, pieces that transcend ephemeral trends and become part of a personal legacy. That is why, on
our website we have a large catalogue of pieces that not only complete, but also star in a perfect Chic Desert Look capable of reigning wherever it goes.
