The Ultimate Guide to Matching your Outfit to your Jewellery

Wondering how to choose jewellery that perfectly complements your dream outfit for that special date?

Wondering how to choose jewellery that perfectly complements your dream outfit for that special date? Are you confused about which jewellery that will add to your look for that important office meeting?

You need to accessorise the outfit in a way that suits. Jewellery plays a major role in enhancing the beauty of your outfit.

If you’re how to find the right jewellery to suit your style, it’s easier than you think!

1] The Look You’re Aiming for

Before you go ahead and buy certain jewellery, consider the kind of look you want to create. The vibe of the look you’re aiming for should guide your choices.

For instance, for a punk or gothic look, some black metal chains and bracelets are all you’ll need! Pair them with a pair of grey ripped jeans and a black T-shirt for the ultimate street style look.

However, if it’s a vintage look you seek to create, opt for delicate jewellery inspired by the Victorian era. This includes:

  • bracelets
  • rings
  • necklaces
  • brooches

Pearl necklaces are also timeless.

On the other hand, if a unique statement look is what defines your style, it is recommended that you pick artsy or artistic jewellery crafted in local design studios.

Lastly, if it’s a casual chic look that you seek, look for funky pieces made of colourful beads and elements.

2] Keep the Occasion in Mind

Watches

The key is to choose your jewellery according to the occasion. For example, for a formal meeting, wearing chunky pieces of jewellery is usually frowned upon.

This is because in a formal setting, you don’t want your jewellery to grab all the attention. Instead, you should choose small studs and a delicate bracelet to complement your formal attire.

However, for a party look, you can add as much bling with your jewellery as you wish to. Bring out the dangly earrings or statement necklaces and let your look shine.

If it’s a brunch with your buddies, streetstyle is a great option. Go for bold statement pieces to express your creativity and personal style.

3] Coordinate the Colours

Colours play a very significant role when it comes to the aesthetics of your look. When choosing jewellery, opt for colours that complement your outfit and makeup.

Cool tones are best complemented by silver or platinum jewellery whereas gold jewellery is best reserved for warm coloured outfits. Colours that are opposite to each other on the colour wheel go well together.

4] Consider Your Skin Tone and Undertones

Another important aspect that should be considered when choosing your jewellery is your skin tone and the undertone. Your skin tone can be warm, cool, or neutral.

People with warm undertones have visible veins that appear green. On the other hand, the ones with cool undertones have visible veins that appear blue.

A neutral skin undertone is one that is neither warm nor cool. The warm skin tone is best suited for gold or copper jewellery, while silver and platinum are ideal for cool tones.

People with a neutral skin tone can choose either gold or silver jewellery.

5] Finding the Balance is Key

It’s never a good idea to have your jewellery pieces scream for attention, all at once. When creating a look for yourself, it’s important to choose one statement piece.

This statement piece should be the focal point of your look, allowing other pieces of jewellery to play the supporting role. Also, when wearing a vibrant outfit, the jewellery should be understated.

A simple outfit, on the other hand, can easily be paired with bold statement pieces in vibrant colours. In other words, finding the balance is key in making or breaking a look.

6] Making the Best Use of Trends

New trends in jewellery emerge every few months. However, when it comes to trends, not every trend is for everyone out there.

Hence, instead of following the trends blindly, look for the trends that work best for you.

Also, since trends don’t last for more than a season, it is advised not to invest a lot on trending pieces of jewellery. Instead, get a few trendy pieces and mix and match to create your own unique looks that reflect your personality.

Conclusion:

Creating the perfect look with jewellery that compliments your outfit is quite easy. At the end of the day, it’s important to know that these are just rules.

If you feel you can work around these rules to create looks that best express your personal style, more power to you!
