5 Mistakes to Avoid Matching Jewelry with Outfits

Well-matched jewelry items add stars to your attire and make you look irresistible and well put. There are so many honest mistakes when it comes to choosing complimentary jewelry. From choosing the wrong size to over-stacking, even the most on-fleek fashion divas can make style mistakes. This article will talk about ten jewelry mistakes that can bring down your look and make you look 0 from 10 in an instant.

1.    Selecting Jewelry that doesn’t go according to the occasion:

Every occasion requires a unique jewelry selection. For instance, events like wedding ceremonies require a dainty initial necklace with delicate pendants. Usually, diamond jewelry is preferred in heartfelt events like weddings. Moreover, events like housewarming parties, Christmas/ thanksgiving dinners, and family get together require dainty personalized jewelry items with custom initials, names, and words. For formal events, go for gold or platinum jewelry items with intricate detailing.

2.    Follow the trend:

Each jewelry and outfit trend doesn’t need to resonate with your style. It is one of the biggest mistakes jewelry lovers make, and they commonly believe it to be true. Do not run after trends because you know your signature style’s elements. Try mixing and matching separate jewelry articles and select a piece that compliments your apparel and looks aesthetically pleasing. Besides that, you can also custom order jewelry items that match the print and style of your dress.

3.    More is better.

Over-accessorizing with different jewelry items can undermine your look and outfit. As the world is moving towards dainty jewelry design, some of us still find over-stacking fascinating and completely ‘doable’. However, doubling or tripling your jewelry can overpower your cloth, thus removing your unique personality appeal. Therefore, choose according to the print and outfit you are wearing. Stacking two or three jewelry items is fine but wearing too many pieces at a time doesn’t look good.

4.    Choose the Necklace by your Neckline.

The necklace is an important jewelry item that can hold your personality and put a definition to your outfit like nothing else. Therefore, you should elect the necklace according to your outfit’s neckline. A necklace must not overlap with your neckline. Here are popular necklines that you must know of before selecting the right jewelry item:

·                V-Neck:

V-neckline complements slim necklaces with a slim bar-style pendant. Try finding necklaces with longer chains for your outfits with V-necks.

·                Scoop Neck:

A scoop neck outfit entertains a variety of necklace designs. The deepest neckline compliment layered necklaces, simple pendants, choker-style necklaces, or a customized motivational necklace.

·                Collared neckline:

Wear a simple necklace with a diamond or birthstone studded in the pendant with the shoulderless outfit. Besides that, you can also choose a heavy necklace with single-colored printless apparel.

·                Square Neck:

Choose a multi-strand necklace for dresses with a square neckline. Besides that, the choker also looks good on a squared neckline. Fashion experts also advise wearing a geometric-shaped pendant necklace.

·                Halter Neck:

5.    Your earrings shouldn’t complement your Hairstyle.

Hoop earrings are the perfect pair of earrings that can add stars to your style statement.  Usually, the curly hair gets tangled in the earrings; therefore, hoop-style earrings are ideal.

·                Side swept hairstyle:
