Whether you’re out for a client meeting or a night out in the town, adding on jewelry to your wardrobe helps you look your best. However, not all statement pieces go with everything. If you aren’t careful, your big chunky bracelet or ornate necklace could make you look cheap instead of classy. Here are the many tips of wearing jewelry so you end up with just the look and style you’re aiming for:
- Childish designs look cheap
No matter how expensive childish pieces are, they rarely look it. Go for simple, classic designs, says the Cosmopolitan. These pieces, no matter how cheap, add a note of sophistication to your ensemble.
- Pick the material carefully
Beads often look cheap and old. If you must have them, use them sparingly. Also, plastic and glass rarely look pricey. Semi precious stones, though, are a winning addition to any day or nightwear. That goes for pearls too. They’re a classic for a reason. Whether you’re out on a romantic date or spending some time with friends and family on movie night, pearls, whether in necklaces or bracelets, make for the perfect classy accent anytime.
- Not everything that glitters is great
Gold, silver or bronze are shiny but they’re not too shiny. Instead, there’s a muted glow that really makes you stand out in the crowd. Braces that are too bright or necklaces that seem to look like metal could simply be made out of plastic or alloy with coating.
- Darker pieces are a better option
Darker pieces tend to look more sophisticated and thus, classier than light colored pieces. So keep that in mind when you’re picking out your new fashion statement.
Picking out the right jewelry can make a huge difference in your wardrobe. With a little coordination and good taste, finding a slew of expensive-looking pieces to add to your growing collection should be easy!
