Picking out the perfect outfit can be stressful enough, but picking out the perfect jewellery to go along with it can be even more challenging.
It’s great to have choices, but too many can turn dressing into something dreadful. If this sounds familiar, don’t think for a second you’re alone! Women all over the world are stuck in this predicament every week – if not every day!
In fact, women spend an average of 90 minutes a week in their closets choosing what to wear.
Jewellery is the staple of the ensemble, so why not make informed decisions when you accessorise? Here’s how to coordinate jewellery to the fullest
If your outfit is loud, tone down the jewellery
Balance is key to successfully accessorising your outfit. If you’re wearing clothes with busy patterns or heavy embellishment – such as sequins, ruffles or bold embroidery – you want to keep your jewellery simple and delicate. Accessorising a loud outfit with louder jewellery creates a look that is cluttered and overwhelming, meaning that all of the finer details will get lost in the mix. A simple set of stud earrings or fine chain necklace can truly be all you need!
On the flip-side, chunky statement jewellery and bold gemstones work fabulously with more minimalist garments. Instantly elevate your simple white shirt and jeans look with any eye-catching accessories, from thick bangles to oversized hoops!
How To Pair Necklaces With Your Outfit:
Here are the not-so-official rules of pairing necklaces with an outfit:
– Solid shirts and plain tops can always use a necklace to add definition and create interest.
-High necklines (like a turtleneck, collared shirt, or mock neck) benefit from statement or layered necklaces. Layered necklaces can be better for more professional settings, while a large statement piece is fabulous for going out.
-If you’re wearing a flowy or loose shirt, use a necklace to give your body definition, and prevent the shirt from overwhelming your body. It’s a smart idea for these necklaces to have a heavier texture so they can really stand out against the fabric.
-Minimal necklaces and fine silver or gold chains can pair with most shirts. Wear these with a t-shirt, or a v-cut if you want to show off your clavicle. Throw in some fun with a trendy pendant.
The Colour Wheel:
This handy tool is a real game changer when it comes to matching jewellery to your outfit. You’ll find colour combos that you never would have considered before, allowing you to explore the full range of vibrant gemstone jewellery! When it comes to matching jewellery with your clothes, the colour wheel can work in two ways:
Choose complementary colours:
Find the colour of your clothing, then look directly across from this on the colour wheel to find its complement. For example, if you’re wearing a red dress, you could choose to wear jewellery with green or blue gemstones.This method creates an exciting and eye-catching contrast with colours that always flatter each other.
Choose analogous colours:
In this case, your clothes and jewellery all use colours from the same family (those which are directly next to each other on the colour wheel). As an example, you could create an outfit of warm autumnal tones by combining your red dress with gorgeous fire opal jewellery.
This earring or that earring?
Studs are perfect for everyday outfits, and more professional settings. They pair with almost anything.
Bold earrings make an outfit luxe. They instantly bring attention to your face, so they’re perfect for date outfits. We always recommend a bold earring if you’re dressing up or going out. For maximum effect, pick earring colors that contrast with your hair color for the earring to show.
If you’re wearing a high neckline, go with earrings to bring attention to your beautiful face.
