Outfits can be tough to put together sometimes, let’s face it, especially when you’re running late in the morning or really want to impress someone on a night out. I think everyone’s had those moments when you just stare blankly at a mirror with two shirts in your hand and want to give up on leaving the house altogether because you can’t decide what goes well with what. Even if you have a very well defined personal style and are usually confident about what you wear, you can still get stuck in a rut sometimes. But you know what can make your life easier when it comes to accessorizing? Great jewelry!
Because no matter how much you agonize over whether your shoes compliment your pants, you can never go wrong with a classic pair of earrings or a nice necklace. So if you’re ever in doubt about how to give your look a bit of extra sparkle, here are some stunning jewelry pieces that can never let you down no matter what you pair them up with.
You can’t skip the diamonds!
Look, I don’t care how many times people say it, I can’t get tired of this phrase because it’s so true: diamonds really are a girl’s best friend. And one piece of jewelry that everyone should have in their arsenal is a pair of diamond earrings. Of course you should have jewelry that is unique to your style and stands out, but the truth is some classic diamond earrings can always bring a look together. And if you keep the design relatively simple and choose something like a pair of diamond studs, you can basically wear them every day to compliment your outfits and they won’t fail you.
Pearls are effortless and sophisticated
You can always rely on a strand of pearls to add a touch of class and a timeless feel to your outfit. I find that a pearl necklace just highlights your look without being too flashy or over the top. So if you need a great, relatively modest piece of jewelry that will never fail to impress and add a certain demure sophistication to your overall appearance, don’t hesitate to go for pearls.
The great thing is that, although a simple necklace will always compliment your style, you can also have a lot of fun with pearl accessories if you want to opt for some of the more intricate designs. For instance, a pair of classic pearl earrings is great, but if you want to add a bit of drama you can go for a more complex piece of jewelry and choose long earrings or a stunning bracelet, since they tend to highlight evening outfits very well. They also come in more colors than just white, so keep that in mind if you’re looking for a special, more elegant piece.
A lovely necklace is a must have
Personally, if I don’t feel something dangling around my neck I just feel naked, but there’s more to be gained from a long necklace than just highlighting your cleavage. So many options come with a long necklace that you’re bound to find your way out of any fashion pickle if you work with one. You can wear it as is, double it in order to make it shorter for an evening look or use pendants to accessorize more and give every outfit a special edge. But the truth is a simple long necklace goes well with everything and it’s a very versatile piece of jewelry to have. Now, if you consider having a gold necklace as well as a silver one the choices are even more varied, but whenever you are in doubt about what to match with your clothes, keeping it simple can save the day.
Bracelets say more about your style than you think
This is one piece of jewelry you can always play around with! You can mix designs, pieces, add charms or choose something classic bracelets will never fail to draw attention to your look. Of course, you don’t need to go overboard and wear twenty pieces at a time, but these are definitely accessories that you can combine and have a lot of fun with. And there are just so many options that no matter what your style is, there’s bound to be a bracelet out there that is just perfect for you. Bangle bracelets are always easy to combine and can help you highlight your look, charm bracelets offer you different styles and can be as simple or as complex as you chose and finally, a classic but stunning model can polish up your outfit anytime.
It’s all about the ring
When you say cocktail ring everybody just assumes you have to go all out and be flashy, but that’s not necessarily true. Picking a ring to highlight your appearance can help with subtle or over-the-top looks depending on what you need for the occasion. The point is you have to have one. Whether it’s going to be oversized and funny or simple and discreet a ring will always draw attention to your hands and contribute to your outfit. So the best way to go about it is to just pick one that best compliments your personal style, that way you know it’ll go great with several choices your wardrobe has to offer.
I can’t really say watches are timeless, but you get my
A lovely watch will say a lot about you and it can never hurt you to know what time it is. The model you choose can be simple, covered in diamonds or funky it doesn’t matter as long as you love wearing it. It’s also a lot better to have a watch than to stare at your phone during a date if you really need to know what time it is. But besides practicality a watch can always help make a statement about who you are without putting a huge amount of effort into it. Just pick a model that you think will match your style and wear it whenever you feel like it.
