Fashion and style are ever-evolving concepts. This, plus the variety of options to choose from nowadays can make accessorizing really difficult at times. Matching the right kind of jewelry with your clothing is a challenging task, especially during a special occasion. Here are a few simple jewelry-wearing tips that can take you from okay to amazing.

1. Experiment with different types
You must learn to experiment with different types of jewelry, explore contrasting patterns, mix and match different kinds of shapes, materials, and textures that go well with the outfit you plan to wear. Length is important when it comes to necklaces. For more formal gowns and cocktail dresses, wear necklaces that gracefully accentuate your neckline. Match this with a pair of earrings that go well with the style of the necklace. Don’t forget about the option of sticking to rings and bracelets only, as gold and silver ornaments go really well with dresses that are designed for a special occasion.

2. Work with several layers
With bracelets, you can really express yourself more with multiple layers and textures. Buy the ones that feature a glossy, patterned finish. Bangles and bracelets also come in different shapes so you can either wear these accessories loosely or buy the clip-on ones that are a snug fit for your arms and wrists. Size is an important factor to consider so don’t go overboard with the layering. Try matching the layers you create with different outfits. You can follow the same approach for rings.

3. Accessorize with earrings
It may often happen that you wear a pair of earrings that work well with one outfit but forget to switch them later on during the day. As they are the first accessory that draws the attention of the person you are conversing with, it is important that you pay attention to its color and texture. If you have a busy day ahead and several outfit changes, go for designs that work well with most of your clothes. Changing them regularly can also help stylize and accentuate your outfit with different shapes and sizes. It also gives you an opportunity and the time to get them cleaned and polished for another occasion. Pick the ones that go well with your facial features like eye color, hair color, and even skin tone.

4. Mix colors
Jewelry design is not just limited to selecting the right type of metal and texture. You must also consider matching color tones to get the best results out of accessorizing. For example, for more formal outfits, rubies, diamonds, and other warm toned gems pair nicely with black, purple, and blue outfits. Cooler color tones work well with bright dresses. You can check out color wheels that let you pick the best color tone for the appropriate dress and work according to that.
