Some outfits just come together easily, yet others can be harder to pull off. However, finding ways to coordinate your jewelry and accessories with your outfits can make your finished look
Whether you’re going to a wedding, a party, or an important event, your outfit says a lot about you and affects how you feel and how others portray you. You might have found your outfit, but it’s often down to the finer details that really make the outfit what it is. Here are our top tips for accessorizing your outfits like a pro!
1) Make sure your jewelry matches the occasion
A lot of what you wear will depend on what you are doing, so always make sure that your choice of jewelry is appropriate. Dangly or hoop earrings are not always going to give the look that you want, as are jangling bangles.
2) Keep your nails neat
If you’re going to wear a statement 3 carat diamond ring or round diamonds, make sure that your nails are set to showcase your diamond rather than distract from it. Your nails don’t even need to be freshly manicured. Simply make sure that they appear well looked after and perhaps have a lick of clear polish to offset the ring in all its glory.
3) Avoid being too coordinated.
It can be satisfying to match your clothes with a bag and shoes, but you can go to extremes and be too ‘matchy-matchy’. Don’t be afraid to mix some more colors and patterns together. Nudes can work well with different shades of color and a touch of animal print can really liven up what might be a more plain outfit.
4) Busy patterns and understated jewelry.
If you want to go bold and wear busy patterns and loud animal prints, then it’s wise to go more minimal on your choice of jewelry. Your outfit is doing the talking here and your jewelry is complimenting your look, without adding to it. If you’re wearing leopard print from head to toe, then wear simplistic items such as stud earrings and a simple chain necklace.
5) Consider one statement piece.
Depending on your mood and how you feel, always think about wearing one item that is a statement piece. This could be a scarf or a large necklace which can be best used as a clever way to bring some interest to what might be a plain and uninteresting outfit. A black understated outfit can be made quite striking but the correct choice of accessories to go with it.
6) Go for jewelry that compliments your skin tone.
If you want to really know what the key to accessorizing is, then it’s knowing how to highlight your skin tones with your jewelry. Silver is a standard metal that illuminates most natural tones. Gold goes especially well with darker hair and matte skin. Cooler skin tones go well with gems that are red, purple, and blue. Also, white gold is an excellent choice of metal for cooler skin tones. Warmer skin tones pair nicely with yellow, orange, and green gemstones in addition to yellow metals.
In a world where trends come and go faster than we can keep up, it’s easy to feel pressured to wear what’s “in” instead of what feels right for you. However, true style isn’t about following the crowd but finding what makes you feel confident and comfortable. When you let go of outside expectations and focus on pieces that suit your body and personality, fashion becomes a form of self-expression.
