10 ways to match your outfit with the right jewelry

The secret of styling, whether simple or striking, almost always lies in the combination of the right clothes with the right jewelry!

In fact, women spend on average 90 minutes a week in their wardrobes choosing what to wear, and since jewelry is a key element of the outfit, why shouldn’t the process also include the proper selection of jewelry?

You have chosen your outfit but cannot for the life of you match the right jewelry? Don’t worry, we have the solution. The right choice of jewelry can ideally accompany your look but can also undermine it; it all depends on your own mood for styling.

1. Jewelry varies according to the occasion

Dangling bracelets do not work so well when typing on a keyboard, so if your dressing is a “work outfit” and your job involves a lot of time at the computer, you might want to skip the large and dangling bracelets.

Also, the choice of jewelry for a Saturday coffee will certainly not be the same as the choice of jewelry for a night of wild clubbing.

2. Colourful designs and simple jewelry go hand in hand!

Bold and elaborate jewelry can steal the show from the rest of your look. Choose simpler jewelry when your dressing is more “extra,” such as simple chains and minimal hoops, like the Earrings with hidden hoops by Emmanuela.

3. Larger earrings highlight the face

Your dress may be the right one, but if you intend to make your face stand out, choose a flashy pair of earrings. “Statement” earrings frame your face and bring out your own radiance!

Of course, you should take into account the shape of your face and which pair will best highlight your features, those that make you so beautiful; for example, ladies with heart-shaped faces may prefer dangling earrings, while ladies with oval faces should consider studs and triangular earrings to highlight their cheekbones.

4. Jewelry according to skin tone

Jewelry should not only match your clothing... Women who know about styling understand well that their jewelry should flatter their skin tone.

Silver is a typical metal that brightens lighter-natural tones more, while gold suits especially dark hair and more bronzed skin. Lighter skin tones go well with precious stones such as red, purple, and blue, and white gold is an excellent metal choice for lighter beige skin tones. Warm skin shades combine beautifully with yellow, orange, and green precious stones. At Emmanuela - handcrafted for you, you will find jewelry in various colour tones made of 925 silver, such as gold-plated, rose gold, oxidized, bronze, or copper.

5. Warmer colours in jewelry suit cooler tones in clothing

Rubies and amber stones make a statement on their own; they are “statement jewelry.” These colours are fiery, intense, and look wonderful on black and white. Warm precious stones also combine beautifully with plain blue or purple fabric. For example, a ruby set over a blue scarf completes your look perfectly.

6. Cooler colours in jewelry suit warmer tones in clothing

There is a science behind fashion colours. Many stylists refer to the colour wheel for inspiration and choose their outfits from it.

The colour wheel tells us that warm and cool shades mix in various ways; for example, precious stones in deep green and dark blue colours suit perfectly with a yellow or orange dress.

Achieving balance between “cool” and “warm” colours is basically the epitome of styling! Try to coordinate your jewelry and clothes to be a true fashionista.

7. The diamond is a woman’s best friend (and not only!)

It is not new; we all know that diamonds have been a favourite jewel of women and men since they were first discovered thousands of years ago.

There is a good reason why these precious stones were and still are so popular: diamonds go with everything!

Not sure how to coordinate your jewelry with your outfit? Choose a pair of diamonds! The classic white diamond acts as a prism under the light, displaying all the colours that make up its composition.

8. White pearls and clothes in sea tones

Pearls perfectly complement the colours in the marine palette, from light blue to deep blue, navy blue, and turquoise; pearls simply go best with ocean shades!

9. Gold, Black, and White

Make sure to match jewelry that is intensely black or gold with simple and classic looks, such as the classic black dress or white wide trousers with a white top.

10. Combine summer and spring outfits with jewelry in cooler colours

The freshness of spring and summer clothes is wonderfully highlighted by cool, natural colours in jewelry. Try precious stones such as blue topaz or green peridot against soft and neutral fabrics or patterns.

Jewelry is the No.1 accessory!

Certainly, much knowledge of styling is required to match jewelry with clothes like an experienced stylist, but at least you have made a start.
