We define our style, either daily or for special occasions, through the clothes we wear, but also through the accessories including jewelry. Rings, necklaces, bracelets or earrings are part of the equation in terms of fashion. Jewelry is indeed the little extra, the final touch to bring to an outfit for a 100% successful trendy look. In trade, the choice of accessories is so broad that the options to match jewelry and clothes are innumerable. Nevertheless, let’s see five tips applicable for any occasions to avoid missteps. The trick to apply this rule with each outfit is to check where the “eye” is attracted (the focal point). When properly made, the focus remains on “you” and your outfit should achieve this goal. Jewelry can also contribute to this, but the size of each piece or the general layout of accessories is the key. For example, layering necklaces can be beautiful but only if the visual effect on your body is not too “weighting”. As such, also pay attention to the length of your necklaces. The goal is neither to truncate your neck if it is not very long, nor draw attention on a little round belly that you would hide.
Today’s style rules are much less conventional than before, even at work. So you can afford a few fantasies. But not forget to match jewelry with outfit and circumstances. At the office, for example, it will not be easy to type on a keyboard with big bling-bling rings and a myriad of bracelets hanging on the wrist.
Also think that jewelry will catch the eye. Placing a big brooch on a generous bust is surely the best way to focus all eyes on this part of your anatomy. Not very suitable for a meeting where you will have to argue, defend a viewpoint or persuade.
It is therefore important to choose jewelry that not only match with your outfit, but that also enhance you. Opt for metals and gems that illuminate your natural skin tone. There is a wide spectrum of different colors: gold, silver, sapphire, amethyst, etc. Maybe turquoise goes better with your eyes as ruby. Silver is the favorite metal for many of us, but if you have the matte skin and dark hair, gold is beautiful. In short, criteria such as the color of your skin, your hair, your eyes are just as important in choosing your jewelry than your clothes.
