Jewelry can make a huge difference in your outfit for special occasions. The right pieces will tie your whole look together for a cohesive statement that fully reflects your personal style.
When accessorizing, it’s important to choose pieces that match the occasion you’re attending. For example, you might want to leave your statement pieces behind if you’re going to a somber gathering, or glam it up if attending a red carpet event. Here are a few guiding points to consider.
Everyday occasion
For everyday wear, choose a versatile piece that looks great with most of the existing outfits in your wardrobe. You can never go wrong with this pair of cluster halo flower diamond studs, this dainty white gold link chain, and a Swiss-made luxury watch to complete the look.
Romantic date nights
Take your LBD from boring to brilliant by incorporating bold accessories. There’s nothing like a bold piece of jewelry to spruce up a simple date night outfit. These classy gold and diamond oval hoop earrings frame the face and draw attention to your eyes, while this sleek and minimal solitaire pendant necklace accentuates your neckline and collarbone. You can also add a little romantic touch with this stunning pavé diamond heart pendant or this dramatic mother-of-pearl heart ring.
Just remember to keep your statement jewelry to just one piece, and to keep the rest of your outfit minimal and your makeup fairly muted. For example, if you’re already wearing a statement necklace, there’s no need for an arm party of bangles that will only compete for attention.
Or if you’re wearing a bold pair of statement earrings, you don’t have to wear a necklace at all, unless they match. The important thing here is not to go overboard with jewelry – you’ll want to draw the eye to one standout piece when going for a statement look.
Wedding celebrations
Weddings are a fun-filled event where you get to show off some of your chunkier pieces or experiment with gemstones. When choosing your jewelry accessories, check the theme of the wedding first.
For a traditional wedding, think of simple yet classy pieces like this yellow gold drop earrings, multi-stone link bracelet, or Akoya pearl necklace from Mikimoto. For a summer garden wedding, this Goddess Garden flower petal earrings from Pasquale Bruni fits the bill.
Unlike a typical wedding, a destination wedding will require a different kind of attire and jewelry. Choose minimalist, lightweight jewelry that doesn’t feel heavy or sticky on the skin, like this domed black diamond bangle and pear-shaped bezeled diamond bracelet.
It’s also common courtesy to avoid wearing anything that will steal the show from the bride, so make sure not to go overboard with your accessories.
Lunch and brunch events
Spending the day with your favorite girls is the perfect time for some jewelry experimentation! This is the perfect opportunity to wear this colorful chunky statement necklace or this glittering pair of teardrop earrings for women.
Stacking your necklaces, bracelets, and rings is also another trick you can do if you’re running out of ideas on what to wear. Try experimenting with different chain styles, lengths, and metal finishes for texture.
To pull off this trend, make sure you’re wearing a solid-colored shirt when layering a necklace stack because doing this over patterns and prints can be overwhelming. Choose delicate and dainty chains for your stack, then include a chunky piece for variety. This five-strand coiled bracelet is a great place to start your stack.
Dinner parties and black-tie events
For special occasions, decide on the dress you’re wearing first before choosing your jewelry. This way, you’ll be able to choose jewelry that doesn’t clash with your neckline or sleeves. For example, this dainty gold paperclip necklace sits comfortably below the collar bone and goes really well with a classic spaghetti strap or an off-the-shoulder dress. If you’re wearing a high-neck dress, keep your necklaces minimal, and then go to town with a matching set of bracelet and earrings instead. These pieces will look wonderful on you, especially when paired with evening makeup and with hair pulled back or in an updo.
When choosing which jewelry to wear for an occasion, the important thing is to see what works for you, and then run with it. Choose jewelry that makes you feel comfortable and confident.
