Choosing jewelry that complements your outfits isn’t always easy. There’s so much that you have to take into consideration. In fact, sometimes, it can make your head spin.
Not to worry, though: in this post we cover all the basics so that you can dazzle next time you hit the town.
Focus On Layering
Wearing solitary pieces of jewelry can work on some occasions, but layering is where the magic really happens. Have you ever noticed that your look improves so much when you wear multiple bracelets or necklaces? What’s more, they all flash and jangle in different ways, adding texture and sensory completeness to your look.
Layering is simple. Choose bracelets or necklaces with similar designs but different textures, and then put them all on. You’ll notice that the use of multiple styles enhances the appeal of each.
Wear Earrings When Your Hair Is Up
Earrings have a powerful visual impact on how you appear. When you get them right, they enhance the tone of your face and frame your eyes, particularly if you wear your hair in a bun.
Earrings don’t need to be over the top. Simple studs will do for the regular day-to-day. Larger earrings work best with evening dresses for social events and balls.
Mix Your Metals
Wearing a mixture of gold, silver and rose gold jewelry might seem a little odd at first, but it really works. In fact, some pieces actually incorporate flecks of different metals to create more visual appeal. For instance, some rose gold pendants have silver chains.
Create A Focal Point
Jewelry you wear should also act as a kind of focal point. In other words, it should draw the eye and make a bit of a statement.
Creating focal points with 2 carat diamonds is easy. They’re so big everyone is bound to notice.
However, if you’re on more of a budget, you can generate eye magnets by mixing and matching jewelry, layering it, or wearing something that makes a statement.
If possible place focal point jewelry on parts of the body to which you want to draw attention – fear example, neck, wrists, hands or ankles. Don’t try to emphasize everything as this can look a little overwhelming.
Ignore Trends
While following trends is popular, we wouldn’t recommend it. That’s because it can get expensive and usually, it is a passing fad.
The best approach to jewelry is to choose items that keep their style no matter what happens in the rest of the culture. Seek out timeless classics that you can wear with your wardrobe both now and in the future.
Choose A Necklace That Fits Your Neckline
We all have different necklines. Some of us prefer the plunging look, while others like wearing clothes that are a little more modest.
When choosing your necklaces, be sure to find one that fits your neckline. Don’t allow mismatches. Dresses with high necklines don’t pair well with long-chained pendants, for example. Crew neck clothing works best with pendants that fall higher up, preferable on your skin.
