How to Choose jewellery to Wear for the Holidays
When picking out jewellery and accessories, it’s mostly about finding what you like. Then, you pair the pieces with the right gear. But, when choosing jewellery to wear for the holidays, things can be a bit more complicated. Seasonal jewellery offers wide varieties of selections. And, these selections are expanding all the time. You’ll find all sorts of coordinated earring and necklace sets, as well as novelty pieces, such as themed pendants and pins.
1. Your Style Matters
Your everyday fashion style is a direct reflection of your personality. So, if you’re not usually a flashy person, you may feel uncomfortable walking around in bold holiday pieces.
Instead, go with jewellery pieces you really like. Do you typically like wearing lots of jewellery pieces or layered necklaces? Long strands of pearls layer perfectly to make beautiful necklaces for the holidays. They can also be used to create your own multilayered bracelets. Or, you can go with pearl bracelets instead.
2. The Occasion Matters
“The holidays” brings with it numerous parties and celebrations. When choosing the type of holiday jewellery to wear, consider the actual occasion.
Just because the jewellery has a Christmas theme, doesn’t necessarily make it appropriate for your specific event. For example, if you’re going to a very dressy office party, you may not want to wear flashy, gaudy Christmas brooches and buttons.
3. Less is Always More
This is an idea to keep in mind when shopping for holiday jewellery. If you get too carried away, you may find yourself looking like Cupid, St. Patrick himself or a Christmas tree.
So, always remember less is more. Keep in mind that holiday accessories can be really flashy and colorful. So, choose jewellery pieces for the holidays that stand out. But, don’t choose multiple pieces that make your appearance seem cluttered.
4. Color Matters
Most holidays have theme colors. Most festive people like to use these colors to show their holiday spirit. But, try not to go color-overboard.
Choose one color for your holiday jewellery that unifies your look. For Halloween, for example, you can add multiple pieces of pearl jewellery in shades of orange. For Easter, you can go with pink pearl jewellery, and for Christmas, pearl jewellery in red and green.
5. Keep Your Outfit Simple
The best way to show off your festive holiday jewellery pieces is by making sure the rest of your outfit is simple. For example, maybe you want to show off your new Thanksgiving pin, with its bronze color and holiday theme. Pair this up with a plain colored dress that makes the bronze stand out.
You can pick out gear that highlights one of the festive colors in the holiday pin or other accessories. Or, you can keep things simple by wearing white or black. This allows your outfit to act as a blank canvas, which will really highlight your holiday accessory or jewellery.
