You may not acknowledge them enough, but accessories can put life into your outfit. They can seamlessly colloquialize a bland outfit or dress up even a drab outfit. Hence, there is no reason for you not to indulge in jewelry styling. But, how do you accessorize with jewelry? Here are some tips that can help you accessorize with jewelry.

1. How much is too much?
There is one golden rule of thumb in jewelry styling – Always have one focal point, and beyond that, everything else should be subdued.

If you are adorning a statement earring, avoid the statement necklace. That may seem too overwhelming for the eye. Similarly, if you wear a large chunky bracelet, keep every other piece subtle, small, and straightforward. Lastly, if you are adorning a large neckpiece, you should keep your bracelets and earrings simple and small.

However, when you have to keep the look simple or when your outfit is already bold, you can keep your jewelry minimal. Wear a small necklace or a pair of simple earrings.

2. Consider the occasion
When you are dressing for an occasion, you need to consider your jewelry along with your outfit. Some pieces are too loud for the routine look, while some are too subdued for formal events. So, when you match the jewelry, the occasion should dictate your thought.

If you are dressing for a cocktail party, wedding, or date night, pick formal and elegant pieces.

3. Consider the outfit
If you are wearing a plain top or solid shirt, pick necklaces, which add some definition and gather interest. Similarly, if you are wearing a loose or a flowy shirt, you can choose neckpieces that define the body. Hence, opt for neckpieces with a heavy texture as it is easy for them to stand out against the fabric.

Further, if you are wearing a blouse with a high neckline, pick layered or statement pieces. The large pieces can be a good pick when you are going out, whereas layered pieces are perfect for a professional setting. Lastly, for most shirts, you can pick gold or silver chains. You can pair them with a V-cut or a T-shirt to show off your clavicle. A trendy pendant can also look gorgeous.

4. Mix and match
Lastly, nobody appreciates a one-note outfit. So, mix and match a bit. Try mixing the shapes and sizes in jewelry. You can pair metal charms, beads, and gems together when you keep color and style in mind. Mixing the length of the neckpieces and the thickness of the bracelets can also be a good idea. Always remember that there has to be a common thread for the right effect, be it in context to the style, color, or metal.
