2025 Trends: Chunky Staples Are Taking Over

2025 Trends: Chunky Staples Are Taking Over

If there’s one fashion rule for 2025, it’s this: go big or go home. This year, chunky staples—from oversized rings to thick chain necklaces—are dominating jewellery boxes and outfit grids everywhere. These bold, unisex designs aren’t just trends. They’re power moves.

At The August, we design everyday jewellery that makes an impact. Minimalist, fashion-forward, and built to last—our chunky staples are made for people who want to be seen without shouting. Let’s explore why chunky pieces are trending this year and how our signature August styles help you own the look.

 

The August Chunky Staples You Need Right Now

✨ The Willow Ring

The Willow Ring is a modern classic. Minimal, bold, and built with enough weight to feel solid without bulk.

Bold Link Chain Necklace

The Lara Necklace is our best-selling chain. Layer it, wear it solo—either way, it turns a basic outfit into a statement.

✨ The Dome Band

The Riley Ring is curved and clean. The perfect ring for stacking or anchoring your look.

✨ Chunky Earrings

The Nova Earrings are sleek, sculptural, and versatile. These earrings take a subtle twist on the traditional earring.

Sculpted Bracelet

The Celine Bracelet is a heavy-hitter in the best way. Bold yet refined, the Celine Bracelet is a modern take on the classic chain link.

 

How to Style Chunky Staples

Balance the Look:

Pair bold pieces with neutral or simple outfits. A chunky gold ring set pops against an all-black ensemble.

Layer Wisely:

Mix chunky items with finer pieces for contrast. For example, stack a thick bracelet with a thin chain or two.

Stick to a Palette:

Choose metallics like gold or silver as your base, and build from there to keep the look cohesive.

Let One Piece Lead:

If you’re unsure, start with one standout item—a bold ring or oversized earring—and build your outfit around it.


Chunky Staples Are Here to Stay

Chunky jewellery is more than a fleeting fashion moment—it’s a style evolution. In 2025, it's all about intention: bold shapes, strong silhouettes, and pieces that feel as good as they look. At The August, we’re proud to offer designs that balance modern edge with timeless wearability.
