Outfit Preference

The first step to choosing the right jewelry for your outfit is to think about what kind of look you're going for. Do you want something dressy or casual? Something flashy or understated? Once you know what kind of vibe you're going for, it'll be much easier to choose the right pieces of jewelry.

If you're not sure of the kind of look you want, don't worry. We'll walk you through choosing different types of looks for different occasions.

Casual

If your outfit is on the casual side, it's best to go with something subtle. For example, if you're wearing a t-shirt and jeans, you might consider adding some earrings or a necklace. But keep it simple - nothing too flashy.

Another option for casual outfits is to go with a bangle or bracelet. If you're wearing a tank top and shorts, for example, a fun bangle can add some personality and spunk to your outfit.

Dressy

If your outfit is dressy, it's best to go with something that matches the outfit's color scheme. Also, keep in mind what kind of occasion you're going to - if it's a formal event, keep your jewelry on the dressy side. If it's just an evening out, feel free to wear more casual pieces, like earrings or a bracelet.

Formal

If the occasion is formal, it's best to go with something very dressy. This means no hoop earrings or long necklaces - keep it simple and classy. For example, if you're going to a fancy dinner party, consider wearing diamond studs for your ears. If you're considering a pair of earrings, remember that the simpler they are, the dressier they'll appear.

In Between

If your outfit is in between casual and formal, it's best to go with something that leans a little more towards the formal side. This means choosing pieces that have more sparkle or are made of more luxurious material.

Tips

It is not compulsory to wear matching clothes with your jewelry. For instance, with a red dress, jewelry is not supposed to be exactly matching. In fact, you should be wise enough to decide when is matching required and when it should be completely avoided. For example, when you are wearing an expensive piece of gold jewelry, you want it to get attention. However, if you will wear matching gold clothes with it, the jewelry might get unnoticed. In this case, you will either have to ditch your gold accessory or your gold clothes. You can instead pair those gold earrings or necklaces with a red dress that only has some golden embroidery on it.

 On the other hand, for a completely yellow dress, you must not wear pink or purple earrings. On hearing this, women usually ask, “then what color jewelry should I wear?” In this case, you will have to match the color. However, you cannot wear any yellow jewelry with it. If your dress is minimal, you will opt for simple jewelry. You can also opt for neutral jewelry such as silver earrings in such cases.

Furthermore, if you want to style your heavy jewelry for a wedding, you should prefer wearing a plain solid colored dress with it. In this way, your jewelry will compensate for the simplicity of your dress and will also get highlighted.

However, in an attempt to match clothes with your jewelry, you must not forget to consider the fabric of your cloth. You must make sure that the jewelry you adorn does not get stuck in your clothes and damage them.

The Key to Matching Necklaces 

A necklace is a piece of jewelry that can be matched with any type of outfit. It comes in a lot of different shapes, sizes, and styles that are all specific for different occasions. You can wear a necklace without any fear of looking extra provided that the necklace isn’t too extra itself.

To choose the most appropriate type of necklace for yourself, you need to first decide the outfit. If you are wearing a plain tee, a turtle neck dress, solid-colored shirts, or a minimal loose gown, you need to keep the necklace simple. A fine chain or a statement pendant would be perfect. The necklace or the chain would certainly stand out against your fabric and will also define your body structure.

On the other hand, if you are partying on a weekend or have a wedding to attend where you will be dressing up in fancy dresses, you need to make a different choice. If the front or the neck of your dress is heavily embroidered or designed, you should avoid wearing a necklace because it spoils the entire look. It won’t get highlighted and will also suppress the craft on your dress.

Pairing the Earrings 

Earrings are yet another gorgeous type of jewelry. They are usually worn by ladies to highlight their faces. You must know the type of earrings that suit your face structure. For an oval-shaped face, tiny studs and statement triangular earrings work the best. Large-sized hoops also look beautiful on oval faces. Similarly, for a round-shaped face, drop and dangle earrings are the most amazing option. You should avoid wearing wide earrings if you have a round face as they make it look fatter.

Based on your face structure, you should be able to figure out the type of earrings that suit the most and are the best to soften as well as highlight your features.

After deciding the shape of earrings according to your face, you need to choose them appropriately according to the event and your dress. You should avoid a necklace with earrings if your earrings are large-sized and heavy enough. This is because; both the pieces will get highlighted and will eventually look odd.

For plain and solid-colored tees, you can wear statement pieces of earrings. Besides, if you are wearing a gown and a small pendant, you can pair simple and small earrings and they will not look odd alongside the necklace. Silver earrings in solid colors look stunning but if there is even an ounce of the golden present; avoid opting for silver jewelry as it messes up the entire look.

Complimenting Skin Tone & Hair

The jewelry you choose to wear on any occasion should blend well with your skin tone and hair color. Although it is a very minute detail and is often ignored, it usually brings beautiful results. If you achieve success by complimenting your jewelry and skin tone or hair color, you can highlight them more nicely. However, if you don’t, the look remains incomplete.

For instance, if you have black hair and a darker skin tone, black earrings will be a big no. The shadow of those earrings will fall on your face along with that of the hair and you will look even darker. Your skin tone won’t get highlighted and nor will your jewelry. So, for warmer skin tones and darker shades of color, it is always advised to adorn either lighter colors like white and soft pink or vibrant colors like yellow or orange. Gold jewelry also looks incredible on dark hair and dusky skin tones.

Moreover, if you have a cooler shade of skin and lighter hair, you must choose dark-colored jewelry if you want to highlight your face. Colors like red, black, purple are the best for people with lighter skin tones.

However, if you do not have these colored pieces of jewelry, you can simply pair silver jewelry if it goes well with the outfit. Silver has the capability of illuminating and radiating almost all-natural skin tones.

When Should You Carry A Ring?

A ring is a very small piece of jewelry that often goes unnoticed. This is because it is not paired properly. Every ring deserves its due share of attention and to bring that attention to the ring; you need to carry it wisely. If you are wearing a full-sleeved plain dress, you must wear a ring as it looks super cute and beautiful. However, if you are wearing a dress with full sleeves that are heavily embroidered and stitched, you should avoid wearing rings as they will get ignored. Rings become equally useless if you are wearing a mitten over them.

Also, for a plain dress, you can choose a ring with a large stone on it. The large-sized beautiful stone will make amends for the minimalistic look of the dress and will catch everyone’s eyes as well.

How to Accessorize Bracelets and Watches?

Bracelets and watches are the old yet gold accessories. With the advent of mobile phones, watches are now worn only as a piece of jewelry in most cases. Therefore, you need to know when and how to accessorize it along with the bracelets.

For long-sleeved shirts, bracelets are unimportant because they usually remain hidden. You can pair them up if you are opting for sleeveless attire. Cuffed shirts and tank tops also serve right for wearing bracelets and watches.

If you have already decided to wear a watch in one hand, try not to add a bracelet in there. Do not add rings in there too because it will then appear overdone.

The Art of Layering Jewelry  

In the end, you must know the art of layering jewelry. Learn to mix different sizes and different types of jewelry for each dress to create a perfect look. You can use earrings from a different set and rings from the other. Incorporate thicker pieces with thinner, larger with smaller and lighter pieces with darker without disturbing the theme of your look.

If you are only wearing rings, layer them up in one finger or wear each in all four to make a cool style statement. You can also layer up bracelets of different designs and sizes on your wrist and create a unique look.

Conclusion 

Jewelry plays a very important part in completing your everyday looks. Throughout the week, you have to dress up differently for different occasions and you can bring about distinction easily with the variety of jewelry available.

For a casual plain dress, jewelry isn’t supposed to very heavy. Similarly, for a fancy outfit, you must not wear quirky or statement pendants and earrings. You should be able to distinguish between the occasions, clothes, and types of jewelry. Once you learn that, you are fully able to create mesmerizing looks throughout the week.
