You're not a jewelry person, you don't like to feel constrained by anything heavy and you always have a hard time matching different pieces together. Still, you'd love to be able to wear a nice necklace from time to time. All is not lost! We will teach you how to wear your jewelry perfectly !
Too much or too little, gold or silver, fancy or durable... what are the rules for wearing your jewelry right? While we've become experts in the art of dressing you for brunch, or the best ways to wear jean shorts, we still have doubts about styling our jewelry. That's why we've made it our mission to help you wear your everyday jewelry better so you'll always look great, no matter what the occasion.
Gold or silver jewelry?
Choosing between gold and silver is above all a question of taste, of period (one is very silver in adolescence and rather gold later) but also and especially of skin. And no, not all metals suit everyone! They are generally divided into 3 categories of skin tones. To find out if you are a silver or a gold, do the following little colorimetry test:
Look at the veins on your wrist.
Veins that run towards green show a warm undertone: gold suits you better.
Veins that run towards purple show a cool undertone: you should choose silver.
If you have difficulty differentiating between colors, you probably have a neutral tone and can change the color of the metals as you wish.
Blazer, white sneakers, little black dress... The basics of the female wardrobe we know by heart. But what about the jewelry box? Here again, we are looking for timeless pieces that we can wear over and over again, whatever the decade or the trend.
Wearing more than two pieces of jewelry often means facing several problems: do they go well together? Are the styles not too dissimilar? Can I mix different stone colors? In contemporary fashion, the answer is that any mix is possible, as long as it is done right. The trend of the moment - and for several years - is the accumulation of fine jewelry around the neck, wrists, fingers and even ears.
Although this trend will last for a long time, for a look that's still trendy even without making any effort, we advise you to adopt the minimalist fashion: a thin necklace, one or two rings for everyday life, your favorite pair of earrings, a watch and a few bracelets that make - if possible - little noise when they clack on the desk.
Do you like to accumulate your necklaces on bare skin with an open white shirt or with a black turtleneck? It shows that you like to follow the trends. On a daily basis, putting on your jewelry every morning, taking care of it and keeping it from getting tangled together can be a headache. To simplify your style, limit your stacking to two, maximum three necklaces around your neck. The first one should be significantly shorter than the others (hence the choker trend). You should avoid jewels that are too thick and favor a minimalist style and sober pendants (coins, medals, crosses, simple stones...). Or you could wear a beautiful sunflower necklace alone to give your self a chic look !
For those who have the courage and can't part with their jewelry, choose a maximum length (often above the neckline) and proceed to a tangle of necklaces by varying the types of chains, pendants but never the color of metal.
