Life Is Your Canvas: Colours
What's more frustrating than picking out the perfect outfit? Trying to pick out the perfect jewellery to go along with it.
It's great to have choices, but too many can turn dressing into something dreadful. If this sounds familiar, don't think for a second you're alone!
In fact, we spend an average of 90 minutes a week in our wardrobes choosing what to wear.
Jewellery is the staple of the ensemble, so why not make informed decisions when you accessorise? Here's how to coordinate jewellery to the fullest:
Match With Bold Woollies
The bright airiness and freshness of spring wools look great with cool, natural tones. Wear your pendants, and wear them super casual, against bold fabrics or patterns. Turn your outfit into something inspired.
Busy Patterns and Daring Jewellery Go Hand-in-Hand.
Alternatively, loud and ornate jewellery can muddy a busy print, no matter how great it is. Busy prints and wild jewellery can get gaudy fast.
Consider solid bracelets, watches, and earrings instead of showy accessories.
Even the material of the outfit should be taken into consideration. If the wardrobe has heavily stitched or ruffled fabric, ornate jewellery can come off just as tacky as it is on a busy print.
Use Statement Earrings To Highlight The Face
Your dress game may be on point, but if you intend to make your face the star of the show, grab a pair of statement earrings. You know, the flashy, glittery ones that highlight your eyes.
Take into account the shape of your face and which pair will do the most to bring out the facial differences that make you you.
Ladies with heart-shaped faces, for example, might consider drop earrings that don't taper at the bottom. Ladies with oval faces should consider studs and triangular earrings to show off their cheekbones.
Jewellery That Compliments Skin Tone
Jewellery shouldn't just go with your outfit. Women who win at accessorising know how to highlight their skin tones with their jewellery.
Silver is a standard metal that illuminates most natural tones. Gold goes especially well with darker hair and matte skin.
Cooler skin tones go well with gems that are red, purple, and blue. Also, white gold is an excellent choice of metal for cooler skin tones.
Warmer skin tones pair nicely with yellow, orange and green gemstones in addition to yellow metals.
There's a lot of knowledge and insight required to coordinate jewellery like a star. Fortunately, now you have some real insider tips to perfect your look and shave off some of that time picking out your outfit.
