Jewellery is more than just decoration. It’s an expression of your personal style, an extension of your personality and a way to take your outfit to new heights. An accessory with the right embellishments can transform a simple outfit into a statement piece. Here’s everything you need to know about the art of matching accessories with the right jewellery.
Start with the Basics
It’s important to have a few essentials in your collection before you start outfitting. It should be versatile jewellery that can be worn with any outfit, like a simple gold or silver necklace, stud earrings, and a watch. These embellishments form the basis of your jewellery collection and can be mixed and matched with other vibrant jewellery pieces.
Think about your outfit
When choosing jewellery for your outfit, it is important to consider the style and colour of your outfit. If you’re wearing a simple outfit like a little black dress, you can add a statement necklace or earrings to make your outfit stand out. If your outfit already has many patterns or colours, it’s best to use simple embellishments that don’t clash or compete with your outfit.
Mix and match
Don’t be afraid to mix and match different types of jewellery. Layered necklaces of different lengths and styles can add depth to your look while wearing different metals like gold and silver can create a unique look. However, be careful not to overdo it. Stick to a maximum of three pieces of jewellery per outfit to avoid looking overloaded.
Playing with proportions
Playing with proportions is a great way to express yourself with your jewellery. For example, if you’re wearing a simple top, you can add a chunky necklace or large earrings to draw attention to your face. If you’re wearing a long maxi dress, you can add an eye-catching ring or bracelet to draw attention to your hands.
Consider Hair and Makeup
When choosing jewellery for your outfit, it’s important to consider hair and makeup. When you put your hair up, statement earrings or a necklace can draw attention to your face. If you wear your hair down, a simple necklace or bracelet will add a touch of elegance to your outfit. Likewise, if you have eye-catching makeup, it is better to use simple jewellery, while if you have natural makeup, you can choose more eye-catching jewellery.
Don’t Forget the Details
Accessories are all about the little details. For example, a pair of simple stud earrings can be transformed into statement earrings with jacket earrings or ear cuffs. Likewise, a simple bracelet can be transformed into a statement piece by adding a pendant or personalised engraving.
To sum up, the art of wearing accessories is to experiment with different types of jewellery to find what suits you. With these tips, you can spice up your outfit with the right jewellery and express your personal style in a unique way. Remember that accessories are all about fun and self-expression, so don’t be afraid to take risks and try new things.
Love, MJ.
