What earrings should I get?
When you are styling your look, the key factor is “editing”. Do not feel the need to wear everything you have in your wardrobe. Keep in mind that earrings, necklaces and bracelets should complement your outfit, without overwhelming your dress silhouette and esthetic. First thing you need to know is which part of your outfit you would like to enhance.
Another important part of the whole outfit is your hairstyle. A high or side hairdo will give you the opportunity to show off statement earrings. In that case avoid wearing a statement necklace.
- Black and gold strapless dress with statement necklace.
- Red dress with deep V neckline
- Light blue dress with neckline and statement earrings
Defining your style
We have many variables to consider when you are trying to figure out how you’d like to look the day of your wedding, or purchasing jewelry for an important business dinner, or at a cocktail party.
– Dress: in order to choose your jewelry accessories, the dress selection is really critical. Especially consider your neckline, since it will determine what kind of necklace will look best. A strapless gown for example looks fantastic with either statement earrings alone, or a statement necklace and small stud earrings. But bateau, illusion or high neck gowns do not leave space for necklaces. Earrings become more important and you can give them more relevance adding colors or increasing their size.
– Hairstyle: 2018 is set to be a year of romantic, effortless luxe hair.
A touch of elegance and sophistication paired with something that says “you”. Your jewelry choice should be different for a high, side or low hairdo.
- Short hair and off shoulder neckline, great for necklaces
- Long hair with high necklines, earrings are the stars
– Jewelry: Why not choose the jewelry first and then plan the dress and hairstyle around that? This is one alternative, especially if you are considering a plain and simple dress to enhance your face.
Once you have a general idea of the whole outfit, we can as ourselves more specific questions. Like for example, what goes best with a black or white dress?
In general, when it comes to matching a black or white dress, just about anything goes. Think how formal or how casual you want to look. That is why jewelry selection deserves most of our attention.
There are a few things to consider when picking jewelry to wear with your black or white dress:
– Smart casual events like a retirement party or dinner date: opt for elegant pendant necklaces, small and minimal earrings, dainty rings and thin chain bracelets.
– More formal occasion, like weddings or black tie events: add some sparkle. Consider wearing fine, tasteful, high quality jewelry. You might consider personalized jewelry or matching sets.
As far as color goes, almost everything goes with black. Red, tan and white work well as well as rich colors like fuchsia, yellow and cobalt blue. All of them can be set in both silver and gold metal finish to complete your look according to your preference.
However it is a good idea to avoid navy blue or brown and all those washed out hues that do not complement black dresses.
Dazzling white is a striking alternative when you are looking for an eye-catching way to stand out. White glammed-out options are virtually endless.
Gold, rose gold, and silver are metals than elegantly finish a white cocktail dress look. If your frock has embellishment, perhaps the metal color of your jewelry could match those. On the other hand, if the dress is plain, the sky is the limit. Dangle rose gold earrings or a silver necklace are going to make your look refined. Just add rhinestones, pearls or AB-crystals to add more glam.
It is also a great idea wearing colorful stones like jade green earrings, or dangle red earrings, especially if you match them with a clutch bag or your shoes.
What earrings to wear with hair down?
Definitely, the right option in this case is wearing stud cluster instead of dangle. Dangle are not so comfortable since they might get caught in your hair.
Also, the dress neckline will give you the opportunity to complement it with a necklace, or you can add some sparkle in the hairstyle with some jewelry hairpins or combs.
What earrings to wear with off the shoulder neckline?
This is a great chance to highlight the zone of your face and neck. That is why earrings become in stars of our jewelry. It is really important to take care about the shape of your face and selecting the most appropriate earring form to complement or enhance it.
Round faces goes better with long earrings and straight lines instead of long and narrow faces that must wear round stud or danglers.
In case you have a square face, then you should go for earrings that are medium to long in length; that means you can go for any kind although you might want to stay away from square studs.
Finally, those who have oval faces can pull off any kind of them.
What earrings to wear for wedding?
We are big fans of wearing personalize or customized jewelry for your wedding. That is why you can design and adjust every detail according to the rest of your outfit (dress, hairstyle, hair accessories, and shoes).
Usually, jewelry designers work closely with dress designers and hairstylists as a team. This favors the communication between each other providing the best overall results for you.
And lastly, you can also match the jewelry set and hair accessories using same colors, stone style and designs patterns.
