What I thought was a Gen Z micro trend has actually stuck around a bit longer than I anticipated and not showing signs of slowing down. Charms are the perfect way to inject personality into your wardrobe on pieces that lean more neutral (phone/work bag/white sneaks).
I wouldn’t say my style screams maximalism but I’m also not a minimalist, I land somewhere in-between. Charms are the perfect maximalist trend for the in-between, tying in pops of color and texture in a playful way. key holder ring
I traveled to Asia in May and came back w/ three phone charms, which have now since broken, so I would not recommend buying off the street lol. But my favorite, a pearl strap crossbody, stuck with me and I wear it almost every single day. I also recently bought the Ossa New York US Open phone charm from my previous What's In My Cart.
Here are my favorites available to shop now:
Ballchain Phone Crossbody - Ossa New York Easy everyday crossbody chain, goes w/ all fits and is another way to incorporate the stud trend this Fall.
Diet Coke Charm - Stoney Clover
I don’t even like diet coke but like this is cute lol
Stone & Fringe Phone Wristlet - Ossa New York It may seem like an unusual pick but I’m obsessed w/ incorporating turquoise in subtle ways. My second fav is the Red Coral.
Silver Shoulder Strap - Clare V
Simple and high quality option if you’re looking for every day use. I would exchange with the existing strap on bag or add on top for extra fun element
New York Cluster Bag Charm - Coach
The yellow taxi is the cutest thing ever
Strawberry Pave Wristlet - Ossa New York Obviously, I’m obsessed w/ this brand they’ve inspired an entire post
Thriving On Chaos Charm - Gemini Jewels I love chrome I love silver, it is the season of silver
Swimsuit Lighter Keychain - Edie Parker These obviously are not charms within themselves, but paired w the Edie Parker Gum Lighter and ta da !!
Big Heart Charm - Parker Thatcher Reminds me of the Roxanne Assoulin necklace that went viral a couple months ago but a better price point. Def can wear this as a necklace or bag charm!
Mix & Match Charms - Clare V Single charms to mix and match on necklace chains, shoe laces, bags etc.
Pearl Charm Bag Strap - Anthropologie Love the bag strap swap
Keyholder - Bona Drag Love how vibrant these colors are, keyholders can easily be turned into bag straps!
City Bag Charm - Anthropologie
More affordable option of the Coach chain
