Five Ways to Style Jewelry
A simple but sometimes overlooked way to enhance one’s style is through jewelry! But maybe you don’t know where to start- and that’s perfectly okay! To be fair, there are a variety of different ways to go about choosing the right pieces, so it can be a bit overwhelming. Too much might look tacky, but wearing just one piece can seem a bit plain. There are also certain occasions where some pieces work better than others. Not to worry, we’re here to give our top five jewelry styling tips that can be easily integrated into your day-to-day.
The Ultimate Outfit Enhancer
Think of your outfit as a canvas with a simple drawing on it. Your jewelry will be all the little details that will turn your drawing into a masterpiece. Whether you’re stacking rings, layering necklaces, and adding a bit of sparkle, you can’t go wrong with using jewelry to make your outfit more interesting. The best way to approach this is to select a focal point. For example, if you’re wearing a graphic t-shirt, you might want plain, smooth pieces of jewelry to revolve around it so that the graphic can really pop. Or, you can even work with a statement piece, like a bold necklace and pair it with daintier rings and bracelets. Really, the world is your oyster.
What’s Your Personality?
Personality tests are really popular these days, so why not take it one step further with your results? Are you an extrovert? Introvert? This might be the difference between whether you choose something loud and proud or something simple. Or maybe you’re a space enthusiast, or love to be by the sea. In which case, we’d recommend something with the moon and stars to represent the sky, and pearl pieces for the perfect coastal look. The point being, jewelry can be a great outlet for self expression and to let your interests shine.
Prim, Proper, and Pretty
Work can be boring. But your work outfits and style don’t have to be! While most workplaces probably won’t condone over-the-top jewelry that may distract the flow of business, there’s absolutely no reason to not wear jewelry. In fact, the workplace is actually the perfect place to whip out some of your more sophisticated jewelry. Pieces with a simple yet eye-catching designs are perfect go-to pieces for many professional environments. They could even act as conversation starters with your colleagues!
A Pop of Color
If you’re someone who likes to dress monochromatic, this might be a little hack for your jewelry to shine. Aside from the obvious silver and gold, many jewelry pieces have other colors incorporated as well. And don’t worry, it’s not going to look like a unicorn threw up on you. We’re talking subtly, just enough to become a focal point if someone paid attention. But, if you’re up for it, the more color, the better! A great way to really tie together a look would be to match your jewelry to your makeup too!
Spice Up the Bummy Days
Hoodie and sweatpants type of day? No worries! Just because you’re comfortable doesn’t mean you can’t accessorize! A classic would be hoop earrings and a few stacked rings. Or, bring some glam into the look with textured pieces. (Hint, check our recommended pieces below!) You’d be surprised how just a few pieces of jewelry can bring together even the most casual outfit- and you’ll be just as cozy!
Honestly, the possibilities are endless. Styling jewelry has no boundaries and should be an opportunity for you to get creative and see what works for you! There’s a piece of jewelry out there for every occasion, so don’t be afraid to think outside the box! Just remember that above all, the jewelry you wear should make you feel confident and like you’re putting your best self forward!
