Accessories will help complement any look. With their help, you can diversify your everyday look or make it less formal. Why not complement your outfit with some stunning pieces of jewelry? Enjoy the jewelry matching process and create your own style.

Steps

Part 1 of 2: Choose Jewelry According to Fashion Trends / Style

  1. 1 Choose accessories that are appropriate for the occasion. Your jewelry should be appropriate for the situation. Do you wear them to work? Then it is better to choose a more conservative style. Heading to a formal event? Consider more subtle gemstone jewelry. Going to a party or a party with friends? Then you can opt for a brighter style and choose bold jewelry.
    • Fine little jewelry works best for the job. Stud earrings will be a more suitable choice than long dangle earrings. At work, your jewelry shouldn't draw attention to itself. If you're not sure if your chosen piece of jewelry is appropriate, take note of what other women are wearing in the office and follow their lead.
  2. 2 Consider all your options. When it comes to jewelry, you have a myriad of options. You can wear bracelets, necklaces, earrings, watches and rings. Jewelry comes in a variety of shapes and sizes, made from different materials. Whatever you choose, accessories should always complement your look. Start with stud earrings if you're new to this business. They are suitable for any occasion and can be paired with other decorations.
  3. 3 Consider your clothing style. Bright clothing with a colorful print goes well with more modest jewelry. If you are wearing simple clothes, then using bright jewelry can make it more elegant. Remember that accessories are just an addition to the image and in no way should compete with your clothes.
    • Do not wear a necklace if your clothes are decorated with rhinestones or beads. In this case, simple earrings will suffice.
    • You can use embellishments to complement the look. For example, for a black dress and red shoes, you can choose a red decoration as a finishing touch.
    • A massive, eye-catching necklace will hardly match a leopard top. However, you can wear more daring accessories with a plain white T-shirt or blouse.
  4. 4 Mix and match. Previously, it was considered taboo to wear gold, silver, copper, rose gold and so on at the same time. However, this is no longer the case. Feel free to mix different metals. Another way of combining is playing with width, texture and dimensions. Wear bracelets and necklaces in different widths and lengths.
    • You can wear multiple rings at once. Try wearing two rings at the same time, or using a regular and double ring on one finger.
    • Necklaces, chains and wrist jewelry (bracelets, watches) can also be worn in multiples.
  5. 5 Think about the neckline. The necklace should accentuate the neckline of your dress or top. It is good if it is noticeable, but does not distract attention from the clothes. The "right" necklace, chain or choker will accentuate your outfit. "Wrong", on the other hand, will divert all attention to itself.
    • A long chain with a pendant is perfect for clothes with a V-neck. The pendant should be right above the hollow.
    • A short chunky necklace looks great with a heart-shaped neckline.
    • Layered necklaces go well with a simple round neckline.
  6. 6 Choose a center accent. The easiest place to start is with one key accessory, such as a ring, necklace or bracelet. This element will be the main decoration, and all the others will only complement it. For example, if the main decoration is earrings, then you can wear a simple ring and a thin chain to them.
    • If the centerpiece is a necklace, wear stud earrings and the simplest ring or bracelet.
    • A watch or bracelet can also play the role of the main jewelry. If so, don't wear flashy earrings or necklaces that rival your bracelet.
  7. 7 Avoid matching tone on tone. The color of the jewelry should not exactly match the color of your clothes or other accessories that you are wearing. You can wear several colors that are complementary to each other, or combine bright jewelry with clothing in neutral tones. Use a circle with a color palette if you don't know which shades work best with each other. Find the color of your choice on the circle and see what colors can complement it.
    • If you are not sure what color accessories will suit your outfit, metal jewelry is the best choice.
    • Diamond and diamond-like jewelry will also be great options no matter what colors you are wearing.
    • For clothes of a neutral color (for example, black, white, gray, and so on), you can choose bright decorations that will add more colors and personalize your image.

Part 2 of 2: Wear jewelry that suits you

  1. 1 Choose earrings that suit you. Depending on the shape of your face, you may have different types of earrings. If you have an oval or oblong face, try studs or short drop earrings. If your face is square or round, dangle earrings are fine. Hoop earrings fit any face shape.
    • These are just guidelines for choosing earrings. You can wear earrings that you like and feel confident in.
  2. 2 Wear rings that show the beauty of your hands. The ring perfectly complements any look. You can make your fingers visually longer with thin rings. If your fingers are already long enough, you can wear wider rings.Typically, the most significant jewelry is worn on the right hand, such as a wedding or engagement ring, as well as family heirlooms. On the left hand, you can wear unusual and large rings.
  3. 3 Consider your skin color. Jewelry worn close to the body should emphasize your skin tone. The skin of cold tones has a pinkish tint and the veins are blue. Warm tone implies a yellowish tint and greenish veins. Platinum and white gold are recommended for cool skin tones, while yellow and rose gold are suitable for warm skin tones.
    • In fact, rose gold looks good with any skin tone. Feel free to experiment with different options.
    • Gems such as citrine, garnet, yellow diamond, morganite, ruby ​​and peridot are recommended for women with warm skin tones.
    • Emerald, opal, amethyst, aquamarine, zircon and tanzanite are more suitable for women with cold skin tones.
    • Diamonds and their imitations look great on everyone, regardless of skin tone.
  4. 4 Emphasize your figure. Jewelry will look different depending on your height, body type and breast size. Women of miniature size are more suitable for thin and graceful jewelry, while on a larger figure they will "get lost", in which case you should try more massive accessories.
    • If you are less than 160 cm tall, wear short necklaces, the maximum length of which will be just below your collarbone.
    • Tall and / or long torso allow necklaces of any length to be worn. However, remember that necklaces that are too short may "get lost" on you.
    • The shorter the neck, the thinner the necklace should be. For example, you should not wear a short velvet necklace with a very short neck.

Tips

  • Remember that jewelry is a reflection of your own style. Follow your instincts and personal preferences.
  • When wearing accessories in the workplace, less is more.
  • Experimenting with different decorations will help create a unique look.
