How to Accessorize Better

via

One of the best ways that you can transform any outfit is with some jewelry. The right combination can help to add the finishing touches to any well-thought-out attire, but you need to know what you are doing. Though we can’t pretend to have all the answers here, we can give you some useful and easy to follow advice that you can put into practice yourself. So, let’s go!

Jewelry Should Add Value to Your Outfit

Two of the most common jewelry sins which you can commit are over-accessorizing and under-accessorizing. If you wear too many items, this will detract from the ones that you want to draw attention to. Wear too few and they won’t stand out. Also, you should avoid wearing the same items day after day as you have not selected them to specifically complement your outfit - unless they are everyday items such as engagement rings when you can customize a radiant and half moon ring. Whenever you put on an item of jewelry, ask yourself how it is going to add value to your clothing choices.

Think About Versatility

The best accessories will add interest to any outfit, and the top buys will work for a range of different clothing choices. If you are looking at buying something to wear on a regular basis such as an engagement ring, you should make sure that you know exactly what you are looking for. If you see an item of jewelry, and your mind is already racing off to think about different outfits that will work with it, you have a pretty decent idea that it is a good choice.

Consider Your Facial and Body Features

When you are buying jewelry, you need to consider how it is going to match up with your facial features as well as your outfits. For example, if you want to draw attention to your ears, you can do some with some long, dangling earrings. However, some simple studs are a more subtle approach. And when you are buying items to be worn on the rest of your body such as necklaces and bracelets, you should also think about the lengthening/shortening effect that each one of them has.

Complement Your Skin Tone As Well

The final main consideration which you need to make when you are accessorizing jewelry is making it work with your skin tone. Ultimately, the best way to work out which metals look best for you is by trying on a number of different pieces and comparing and contrasting. If you have cool and pale skin, you may want to try some warming tones such as gold, whereas the opposite tends to be true for people with darker skin tones, so opt for a cooling color such as silver.

Accessorizing with jewelry is something which takes a bit of practice, but once you become good at it, you can really transform the look and style of any outfit which you put on.
