Costume jewelry is a true fashion accessory that enhances your silhouette and outfit… as long as it is well chosen! Each look, each occasion, each season has a type of costume jewelry that corresponds to it.
Discover how to match your jewelry according to your outfit, body shape, or the weather. We provide you with three tips to coordinate your jewelry without any fashion faux pas!
Matching costume jewelry to your look
Coordinating jewelry with the clothes you wear is a golden rule:
Jewelry matched to a neutral or colorful look
What style of jewelry for a neutral outfit? You have two choices: enhance your look with colorful and original costume jewelry or, on the contrary, remain discreet.
If you wish to add an offbeat touch, dare to wear baroque jewelry. If neutrality suits you, very simple gold or silver jewelry will be perfect.
Matching jewelry with a colorful outfit is more delicate. You must indeed avoid a fashion faux pas by multiplying colors and patterns. Instead, opt for simple gold or silver costume jewelry or discreet jewelry in neutral tones.
Costume jewelry according to the shape of your clothing
For loose-fitting clothing, a long chain necklace is particularly suitable. It will help to readjust the volumes and refine the silhouette.
To structure your style, choose a graphic piece. This is especially true if you are wearing linen or wool.
On the contrary, a more fitted outfit calls for more imposing jewelry, unless you wish to play the sophisticated card and turn to simple and discreet jewelry.
Costume necklaces according to the shape of your collar
This is not the first thing one thinks of, but the shape of your top's collar is crucial for choosing your costume necklace! A short and imposing necklace will pair perfectly with a high and closed collar. In summer, you will make a statement wearing this type of necklace with a strapless dress. With a décolleté, consider a short pendant and dangling earrings.
Choosing costume jewelry according to the seasons
How to match your jewelry to the season? Play with tones!
Color combinations and styles in cool tones
Winter is settling in, the cold grips you, and you no longer know which costume jewelry to wear? Why not choose a colorful piece? Embrace seasonality and go for cool tones. Pair blue with silver. Turn to discreet jewelry, such as chain bracelets or a pair of fine stud earrings. Does the grayness make you want to add warmth to your look? Dare to wear warm tones!
Color combinations and styles in warm tones
The sky is blue, the birds are singing, and your heart is joyful? Show it by wearing a colorful piece that adds zest! Choose warm tones: yellow, orange, red. However, be careful not to overdo the colors. Your jewelry should always enhance your outfit, not muddle the reading of your look by overloading it.
If your outfit is already vibrant, identify the dominant color or, conversely, the one you wish to highlight, and wear a piece in a single shade. The gold costume jewelry pairs particularly well with warm colors. This is also the time to bring out your hoops!
