How To Match Jewelry With Your Outfit

 Wearing jewelry isn’t entirely about just the piece itself, it’s about complementing your style while reflecting your personality. You want to remember to pick out jewelry that makes you feel good and look good, too. Jewelry can be the heart and soul of any outfit if you pick out the right pieces. We will be providing some very accurate tips which will help you pick out the right pieces for different styles of clothing.

How To Match Jewelry With Patterns

If you are planning to wear a dense or busy pattern and you are really confused about what kind of jewelry will work, these tips are for you! Keep your jewelry toned down when your outfit has a lot going on. Never use showy accessories with busy prints. Loud and ornate jewelry can get lost in a busy print, no matter how great it is. Busy prints and wild jewelry can get gaudy fast. Even if you’re not into simple jewelry, it’s always good to have a few pieces in your collection just for this reason.  

Here are some examples of jewelry that would work great with a heavily patterned outfit.

1. Stud Earrings

If you feel like letting a bold patterned outfit do the talking, keep your jewelry simple with our Small Stud Earrings. Our Stud Earrings are one of our top-selling designs. They are elegant, but casual enough to wear every day and match easily with patterns. With these earrings on, you are ready to rock your day and enjoy all of the compliments!

2. Drop Pendant

Try out our simple, yet beautiful Drop Pendant. It may just become your favorite piece in your collection and it pairs easily with any outfit, including patterns!

 

Jewelry For Casual Dresses

Fun, carefree time is something we all crave. Most of our best memories are from a relaxing day out with friends or family. For this reason, people want to look stunning in their casual dresses like a night out with friends, dinner, drinks, or maybe a simple walk in the park. This is the time where you can be yourself and let your whole personality shine! There are no restrictions or rules on what jewelry you should wear but it is a wise idea to not wear extremely fancy jewelry with casual outfits. This is why it’s key to have some pieces in your collection that can work for both casual and dressy.

Check out our crystal earrings. Almost all of our styles can be dressed up or down.

Our Feather Extension earrings are made with our iridescent crystals which glow from within. They feature our contemporary, sterling silver feather shape that extends the earring length and makes them fun, flirty, and ready for any occasion.

Matching Jewelry with Necklines

Necklines make outfits more interesting. Finding jewelry which suits your neckline enhances your beauty and overall look of your outfit. If your necklace and your neckline don’t match, your entire ensemble becomes unbalanced. Always make sure that the length of your necklace is significantly shorter or longer than your neckline so that it doesn’t get lost in the mix.

• Jewelry For V-necks

V-necks are very popular and seem to be in style no matter what decade it is. You can mirror the v shape of your dress or you can experiment with a curve. Short v-necks can be complimented with chokers or short chains. As the neck goes deeper you can use medium or longer length pendants and chains. You can try our Slide Choker; it’s perfect for v-necks!

• Jewelry For Turtlenecks

Turtleneck dresses and shirts look best with long necklaces. Make a set by adding some earrings. Try our Stud Earrings, Drop Earrings , or Nautilus Stud Earrings. It will definitely complete the look.

 

• Jewelry For Crewnecks

When your neckline goes high make sure you adjust the length of your necklaces accordingly. Try to make sure that your necklace sits at least 2 inches below the collar and can go as long as you like with your crewneck dresses and shirts.

Try our Musical Note Pendant. This necklace is great for all of the music lovers out there and would look great with any crewneck styles.

4 Jewelry For Halter Tops and Off The Shoulder Styles

These dresses and shirts look awesome with longer earrings and stylish bracelets. Our Waterfall Extension Earrings will definitely complement your halter or one shoulder styles. These earrings are available in polished and frosted and are the perfect length.

Jewelry for Sleeveless Styles

Bracelets are a great choice for when you’re showing off your arms in a sleeveless style. A good rule of thumb for choosing bracelets based on sleeve length is the longer your sleeves are, the less bracelets you should wear and the thinner those bracelets should be, and vice versa.

 

7 Oval Stones Bracelet

Our beautiful 7 Oval Stone Bracelet is made of 7 gorgeous, individual crystals linked together to form one incredible, show-stopping piece. This bracelet is the perfect match for any dress and is a great choice for your next sleeveless look.

Clothing colors and jewelry

The color of your outfit impacts jewelry choices, too. Pearls pair well with other colors related to the sea such as aqua, deep blue, and greens. Cool colors such as greens, blues, and purples look best with warm colors such as yellow, orange, and reds.

More specifically:

• Blue and green outfits: white pearls
• Purple outfits: citrine, gold, green crystal
• Red outfits: green colored jewelry
• Black outfits: any color
• Neutral outfits: diamonds, black jewelry

We hope the above tips were very helpful to you! Remember to make sure to include jewelry that works with the style of clothing as well as your personality when planning an outfit. You always want to feel fashionable and comfortable so you can go out and have fun!

Beautiful outfits with the right jewelry are an incredible combination. Explore more of our beautiful pieces online at leightworks.com
