Winter is that time of year when we can wear outfits that are more elegant. The cold weather encourages layering, which in turn opens up the space not just for interesting wardrobe combinations but also for different jewelry combinations. So how do you choose jewelry that will perfectly complement your favorite sweater and coat?
Pearl earrings: A timeless choice worthy of any occasion
Pearls are synonymous with elegance and suit both an evening event as well as a casual winter outfit. Pearl earringsstand out particularly well when paired with understated clothes. For example, try a simple black turtleneck and a beige coat–pearl earrings will add a soft yet lux feel to the look.
For a casual daytime outfit, combine a sweater in pastel colors with classic pearl earrings and a wool scarf around the neck. Pearls are also great for a layered look, where you can add additional jewelry such as fine gold necklaces or bracelets to easily complete the overall look.
Understated jewelry
Minimal jewelry has been on the rise in recent years and rightly so. Its fine lines and understated designs are easy to combine and don’t interfere with the clean look of an outfit. White gold is an ideal choice in winter–the cool shine it gives off goes well with classic winter colors such as grey, white, black and dark blue.
Try layered white gold necklaces to complement a simple blouse and cardigan, for example. Minimalist rings with tiny diamonds or gemstones in cooler colors like aquamarine or topaz will on the other hand add a soft sparkle to any outfit.
Jewelry inspired by winter colors
Winter brings its own set of colors that you can reflect in your jewelry. Gems in cooler colors such as amethyst, moonstone or the already mentioned aquamarine evoke ice crystals and will complement your outfit beautifully.
Try a larger amethyst or aquamarine ring with an elegant coat. These stones will stand out wonderfully against the backdrop of your winter outfit. White gold is again a great choice, whether you opt for earrings, bracelets or necklaces.
The inspiration for a layered style in jewelry
Winter is the season for layering, not only when it comes to clothes but also in jewelry. If you like to mix and match multiple pieces, try pairing simple necklaces in various lengths with a pearl pendant. This kind of combination looks refreshing and elegant. You could also experiment with different materials or color combinations–pairing white and yellow gold together is no longer taboo. On the contrary, this trend is gaining more and more popularity.
Another tip is bracelets–combine fine white gold chain bracelets with pearl pieces that match beautifully. And if you prefer rings, there are no limits to the imagination. Try a combination of different sizes and widths to make you feel at your best.
Everyday winter elegance
Whether you’re heading to a business meeting or a Christmas party, the right jewelry can elevate your look. Pearl earrings and minimal jewelry are a great choice–they’ll accentuate your style while not letting you down in any situation.
Enjoy all of winter’s colors and allow yourself to mix and match jewelry with layered outfits–it’s those simple details that true elegance lies in.
