How to incorporate statement jewellery into everyday outfits
Statement jewellery can transform and enhance and outfit. Whether it’s a bold necklace, beautiful earrings, or an eye-catching bracelet, these pieces can add personality and flair to your everyday look.
1. Start with simplicity
Looking to wear a statement jewellery piece? Start with your outfit and work outwards. Start with a simple base, this allows your jewellery to shine without overwhelming your look.
- Neutral colours: Opt for neutral colours like black, white, grey, or beige as the backdrop for your statement piece.
- Basic pieces: Simple tops, jeans, or a classic dress make the perfect canvas for bold jewellery.
2. Balance is key
Balance is crucial when wearing statement jewellery. If you’re sporting a bold piece, keep the rest of your accessories minimal to avoid a cluttered look.
- Only one statement piece: Choose one statement piece to be the focal point of your outfit. For example, if you’re wearing a statement necklace, opt for smaller, understated earrings – or no earrings at all.
- Complement, don’t compete: Ensure your statement piece complements your outfit rather than competing with it, for a cohesive and stylish look. Don’t clash multiple patterns, designs or trends.
3. Match your jewellery to the occasion
We all match our outfit to the occasion, but do you match your jewellery to it?
- Office: For work, opt for elegant yet subtle statement pieces like a sophisticated necklace or a pair of unique earrings – but don’t overwhelm your look.
- Casual: On casual days, feel free to experiment with bolder pieces that show off your personality, just keep it balanced.
- Evenings: For evening events, go all out with glamorous statement jewellery that adds a touch of drama to your outfit.
5. Consider the neckline
The neckline of your outfit can guide your choice of statement jewellery, especially necklaces.
- High necklines: Pair high necklines with long, statement necklaces, to not ‘clutter’ your neck.
- V-Necklines: V-necks are perfect for showcasing bold, shorter necklaces that follow the neckline’s shape. You can even layer up shorter and longer strands and chains.
- Off-shoulder: Off-shoulder tops and dresses can be beautifully complemented with statement earrings, drawing attention to your shoulders and face/
6. Mix and match
Mixing and matching different statement pieces can be fun, but it requires a careful approach to avoid overdoing it.
- Harmonise: Ensure that the pieces you choose harmonise in terms of style, colour, and material. While mixing metals looks great, mixing designs and eras of jewellery sometimes doesn’t work.
- Proportion: Be mindful of proportions. Pair large earrings with a simpler bracelet or ring to maintain balance.
