coded
Cowboy-core or rodeo style's resurgence started back in 2024, but has continued to gain traction even on the Spring/Summer 2026 runways. Think bolo silhouettes reimagined in gold, lasso-like chains, turquoise, and pieces that hint at Western grit with a refined edge. It’s a trend rooted in nostalgia but styled for today—effortlessly blending frontier attitude with modern sophistication. Nouvel Heritage's Latch collection reimagines the everyday with familiar details, such as a bolo tie, into refined jewelry through craftsmanship and design. Through this collection, and the necklace on the left, cowboy coded aesthetic is elevated while still maintaining a familiar look and feel. Marco Bicego embraces the trend with a lineup of turquoise pieces from the brand’s Lunaria collection. Turquoise—long rooted in Native American jewelry traditions—rose to prominence in Western culture in the early 20th century. Today, it continues to celebrate the artistry and symbolism of Indigenous craftsmanship while remaining a timeless style staple.

The small watch is having a big moment—for women and men alike. Nostalgia also shapes this trend, with women wearing cocktail-style jewelry watches with other pieces that can be stacked and styled. Petite dials and refined proportions are also appearing on the wrists of style-conscious men, including celebrity collectors who understand that subtlety speaks volumes. Vintage-inspired yet timeless, this trend proves that less can make a big statement. Cartier has been leading the way: at left, the iconic Panthère de Cartier, with its ultra-flexible bracelet echoing the Maison’s emblematic panther; above, the delicate Baignoire Mini (24.6 x 18.7 mm) both exemplify elegance in miniature.
