Wear matching earrings

From business attire to fun casual looks, finishing off an outfit means adding in one or more pieces of jewelleries to add a glint to your look. Jewelleries add sparkle to a plain outfit to create an interesting look by giving it a colour contrast. Both men and women alike enjoy pairing creative jewellery with everything from blue jeans to formal attire, whether the look is understated and casual for a day of errands or elegant enough for a formal dinner, add a piece of jewellery as the finishing touch.

It is always more effective to wear one good or striking piece of jewellery, remember not to overdo it. For instance, do not wear earrings, a necklace, a watch, a few rings and bracelets at the same time. You’ll look like a Christmas tree and give off a hint of vulgarity.

Fashion jewellery for women is designed to make a statement, so keep it simple as less is more. Sometimes wearing dangling earrings can be distracting with your hair tied back in a pony tail, especially if it swings back to and forth as you speak. When worn well, it can look very chic emphasizing the ears and neckline. The issue is, how well are you wearing it?

Tips

• Do not over-bedeck yourself when wearing ordinary, country, or casual clothes; both costume jewellery and real jewellery can be lovely, but should not be worn together.

• Dangling earrings are only for evening and casual wear, small clip or stud ones are best for everyday use. Any earring that clangs, bangs, or jangles should be avoided on formal occasions

• Instead of buying four or five cheap pieces throughout the year, buy one good piece that will stand the taste of time.

• Dramatic necklaces require modest earrings and vice versa, avoid wearing more than one large earring.

• When you’re fully dressed, look in the mirror, turn away, turn back again and remove the first thing that catches your eye.

• Make sure there is no competition. One piece should stand out above the rest, with the others acting as quieter supportive players.

• Is your necklace a work of art? Wear the matching earrings or just put in little sparkly posts.

• Face shape, age and hairstyle have an influence on what to wear, always consider these when choosing the stones and metals that can work best for you.

For most offices, wearing anything other than simple studs is considered inappropriate. Pick accessories for your outfit; don’t pick an outfit based on your accessories. Earrings, either stud or dangling, is an accessory that every fashionable woman should live for.
