style lessons. We select jewelry for clothes. How to choose jewelry How to wear jewelry around your neck

Jewelry etiquette is a whole science, but we didn’t study it at school 😊 Hence the complexes (“would I dare to wear a diamond ring in the daylight, and not in the rays of spotlights at a party?”), excessive conceit (“these earrings with a scattering of stones of all shapes and sizes will still show everyone that I am not sitting without money!”) and simply - ignorance (“can a watch serve as the only decoration in the image?”) We propose to debunk the main myths of outdated jewelry etiquette and adhere to modern rules, especially since we are sure , you will like them much more than the "hardened" regulations!

Myth: There are only 3 areas for women to wear jewelry: face, neck, hands. The office dress code is inexorable: only two of them should be decorated.

Reality: not true. You can put on miniature stud earrings, a laconic ring and an elegant pendant at the same time - and still remain within the framework of "legality".

Myth: for one zone - one decoration. You should not wear several neck chains at the same time - this is bad manners and a real crime against style.

Reality: some caveats are needed here. A massive diamond necklace around the neck and a brooch on the lapel of a jacket are indeed a fashion statement. Like the combination of beads and. But the trend of stacking - 2-3 chains with pendants of similar shapes has been confidently holding the top for several years in a row.


Myth: You can only wear stud earrings in the office. Everything that falls below the line of the cheekbones is vulgar and inappropriate: you will evoke persistent associations with the heroine of the Brazilian TV series.

Reality: We think that you have been violating this outdated canon for a long time and without our promptings. And you are doing it right: the main thing in “everyday” earrings is not the length, but the decor. Suitable for office options, see the picture below.


Myth: Two rings (along with a wedding band) are the maximum you can afford for work looks.

Reality: yes and no. There is a difference between being in an executive position in a large corporation in an office with a panoramic view from the 48th floor of a skyscraper, or an art director sitting in the open space of a cozy loft. The latter can afford more original and fancy sets of rings, while not forgetting to combine jewelry with each other in style.



Myth: rubies, sapphires, emeralds should only be worn in pitch darkness, with a full moon, when the clock strikes twelve evening time, and during the day - ashamed, awkward and uncomfortable: you never know people will think that you are simply showing off? ...

Reality: bright, sparkling, and therefore attracting admiring glances, stones should not be shy to bring them out into the light in daylight. An important nuance is their size. Miniature precious inserts or a scattering of small pebbles have never given a reason to accuse someone of vulgarity, but they regularly “run up” to compliments. Try it.

Myth: diamonds are stones for a mature lady. A young girl should not wear them: they will seem like a fake or a gift begged from an unlucky admirer.

Reality: Firstly, there is a wonderful tradition of giving the first diamond to a daughter on her coming of age. Secondly, the Middle Ages are not in the yard, women have long been solvent and can afford to buy a diamond for themselves, and not one. Thirdly, again, the size of the stone matters: up to 30 years, the more modest, the better. Fourth, “because you deserve it!”


Myth: I rarely wear jewelry, but my watch is always with me. I want to look stylish, but still, a watch is a functional accessory, and cannot be considered a “full-fledged” decoration.

Reality: if the watch is jewelry, then it may well become an independent decoration that does not require any "company". Choose models with a fantasy design: inlaid with colored cubic zirkonia or a mother-of-pearl dial.


Myth: Men are not supposed to wear any jewelry. And point!

Reality: a modern successful man cannot do without noble metals - gold or silver. They are an indicator of a certain status and standard of living, and also that everything is in order with taste. A men's jewelry minimum may also include a wedding ring, cufflinks and a tie clip. Other jewelry - signet rings, bling, bracelets - also ceased to be exclusively attributes of rock stars and can be safely put on if they easily and naturally fit into the style.



Have you heard any other ridiculous “rules” of jewelry etiquette? Write in the comments! Let's fight them together 😊

Choosing jewelry can be tricky, whether you're choosing jewelry to go with a particular outfit or, conversely, you want it to go with most of your clothes.

Of course, everyone has their own preferences regarding the color of metal and stones, but in stores sometimes your eyes just run wide! And how to choose the decoration that will become your favorite for many years?

I offer you some tips that you can use when choosing jewelry

Review your wardrobe

If you're having a hard time figuring out which stones are best for your wardrobe, take some time to sort through the clothes you have. Try to identify the general style of most of your costumes. Do business suits predominate in your closet, or perhaps casual or sportswear? Once you've figured out your style, jewelry selection becomes much easier.


Pay attention to colors and prints
As you review your wardrobe, pay attention to what colors you wear and how you combine them. For girls who prefer clothes with prints and patterns, classic jewelry is suitable, as they do not draw attention to themselves.
Plain suits, on the other hand, will allow you to opt for bolder designs. Your color preferences will help determine which stones suit you best.
If you wear black and white clothes most of the time, then almost any jewelry will suit you, as almost all stones will work great for color accents.

Rules for choosing jewelry

In addition, you will need to remember a few important rules ....


dress style

The first rule that should be followed when choosing jewelry is the style of the dress, as well as the event you are going to. We offer to consider the main combinations of jewelry and dress cut:

  • A dress model with a neckline can be decorated with a massive necklace or a set of thin chains.
  • Sheath dress can be combined with massive necklaces made of stones and large bracelets
  • The model with a closed fitted top goes well with a string of beads that can be beautifully tied with a large knot.
  • A dress with a V-shaped neckline will perfectly accentuate a triangle-shaped necklace or an oblong pendant


Appointment of the outfit

When choosing jewelry, it is very important to consider the purpose of the outfit and the fabric from which it is sewn. We should not forget about compliance with the general style and purpose of the ensemble: for going to the theater, jewelry with complex weaving, bright sparkling stones will be quite appropriate and go well with an evening dress, while everyday life requires conciseness.

For the evening
So, evening dresses are often sewn from plain beautiful fabrics with a smooth, textured or shiny surface. When choosing jewelry, you need to follow the rule: clothes of strict cut and laconic design can be combined with massive and catchy jewelry.
For dresses of complex cut, it is worth choosing elegant and modest jewelry.

When choosing earrings, you should focus on the hairstyle. For high styling, you can use long string earrings or studs. If the hair is loose, then it is better to pick up massive earrings.

Cocktail Dresses
You can choose a variety of jewelry for cocktail dresses, the main thing is that they fit in style. So, massive bracelets and necklaces are well suited to a sheath dress.
For dresses made of light fabrics with straps, you should choose thin elegant chains.



Office Style
For a business dress, you should choose jewelry in a classic, simple style. The best solution is to use one element, for example, a pendant or a brooch.

Even a strict dress code allows wearing jewelry around the neck, but there are subtleties here too. In the office, you can wear beads and short necklaces.
For a necklace, medium-sized pearls are allowed. If we talk about beads, then it can even be plastic, glass, faience or wood. The only requirement is that jewelry should not be too pretentious and attract attention.

Know how to prioritize

When choosing jewelry, you need to learn the most important principle - you cannot combine jewelry and jewelry in your image at the same time. No matter how beautiful your favorite gold necklace looks with new gold-tone earrings, you should not wear them together.
Precious metals have significant differences from costume jewelry, and this difference will cause bewilderment among people around. Picking one is the right decision.

Don't overdo it

It is convenient to buy jewelry that comes with the kit. When jewelry is included, the buyer knows for sure that he will not need to pick up anything: earrings for the pendant or a ring for the pendant.
Moderation above all. The desire to put on "all the best at once" is often inherent in young girls. However, a lot does not mean beautiful. All decorations can be divided into two types.
The first is the one that goes "to the face." These are earrings, necklaces, chains with pendants, beads, brooches.
The second type is used to decorate hands - these are bracelets, rings, watches.

For a casual look, it is enough to use one piece of jewelry from the first and second groups. Thus, you can combine in one outfit: ring and earrings, ring and pendant, bracelet and earrings, bracelet and pendant. If you really want, you can wear three jewelry. But no more!

By the way, this rule will help a lot if you can’t find the perfect decoration for a complex cut dress. For example, it can be difficult to choose beads or a pendant for a dress with a boat neckline.
Difficult - and not necessary! Feel free to wear a ring and earrings - and consider that you are in the trend itself.

Jewelry size

When a buyer purchases a set of jewelry, he should pay attention to the fact that the jewelry is of different sizes.
The ideal option is a set where one piece of jewelry is massive, say, a pendant or a brooch, and the rest of the jewelry is small.
This combination will create a balance between the sizes of the jewelry and correctly focus on any element.

Don't forget to take into account the features of your body

When buying jewelry, you need to try on the product you like. And see how the decoration looks on a person.
If the young lady has magnificent forms, then almost all types of jewelry will suit her: from massive to the smallest.
If the girl is thin, then she should not wear large stones and powerful chains.
Jewelry must be carefully selected for each part of the body: large rings will not suit a person with short fingers. Properly chosen jewelry should emphasize the best sides of your body.

Don't be stingy

You should never skimp and save on jewelry. Inexpensive costume jewelry is often made from low quality materials. And yes, they look cheap.
It can ruin even the best image. In addition, such jewelry can create uncomfortable sensations when wearing them. And even allergies.


Jewelry + clothes = harmony

You should buy accessories that you have something to wear with. Each style of clothing requires its own decorations. Separately, the thing and the decoration look stylish, together they do not belong.
Follow simple rules that you should not forget.


Fabric type

When choosing jewelry, you should take into account the properties of the fabric from which the outfit is sewn. Winter models made of dense materials can be combined with massive decorations. Fine jewelry is more suitable for light and flowing fabrics.

Passionate about products from dense materials? It is very easy to pick up jewelry for thick clothes. Massive and voluminous decorations are appropriate.



Silk"loves" rhinestones and small pearls.

Particular attention should be paid to the choice of jewelry for a summer dress. First of all, look at natural materials. For example, a light dress with floral motifs will look great with a wooden bracelet and a necklace with leather inserts.

Decorations for summer casual dresses can be catchy and large. Today, natural materials are in fashion, so you should use products made of wood or semi-precious stones. But plastic jewelry in combination with a summer dress can look stylish.

However, be careful not to overdo it with an abundance of colors - if the dress has an expressive print, choose plain, more restrained jewelry.
But a neutral-colored dress can be safely combined with multi-colored jewelry.

Do you prefer plain things? Give your choice of contrasting jewelry, or jewelry in the same color as your outfit, but in different shades. Such actions on your part will complement the image, and jewelry is ideal for clothing.

As already mentioned, for a dress with a color print do not choose multi-colored jewelry. It is worth choosing one of the shades that is present in the color of the outfit, and choose jewelry of this particular color.


Choose a color
And we must not forget about the color. The color of the outfit largely determines the choice of jewelry. You can choose jewelry for the dress according to the principle of contrast, but this contrast should not bring disharmony to the image.
The second option is the choice of jewelry to match the color of the outfit. But in this case, you need to make sure that the jewelry is not “lost” against the background of the dress.

The color scheme of clothes and jewelry should match perfectly. This is where the color wheel comes into play.

If you want to set bright accents, jewelry of the opposite color is ideal: on the circle they are opposite each other.

Conversely, if you just want to shade and complement the main color of your outfit a little, pay attention to the colors adjacent to the main color.


Let's explain with examples:
beauty red dress best accentuated by jewelry Green colour. And vice versa. To the green dress - red jewelry.
A green dress will also be allowed to play in a new way with gold or silver jewelry. A bright accent can be put using coral-colored jewelry.


By the way, additional decorations are not particularly needed for the red dress, since the color is self-sufficient. But if you want to use jewelry, then you need to select it, depending on the purpose of the toilet. So, for an evening out in red, jewelry in a shade of gold, as well as black, are perfect.
For a casual option, in addition to green, you can use jewelry in white or red tones (red should not match the tone of the dress, it should be lighter or darker).


Choosing jewelry for a purple dress, note for yellow jewelry.
Yellow dress, on the contrary, it is worth adding purple jewelry. To create a gentle romantic image, it is better to use light colors (lilac, violet).
Jewelry in lilac and eggplant shades against the background of a yellow dress is an option for more daring girls.

blue dress beat orange accessories. Combine an orange dress with blue jewelry.
Also, the blue dress will be allowed to appear in all its glory. silver jewelry, if you need to put a bright accent, then you should pick up dark red jewelry.





We are ready to ask: where is the hint on how to choose jewelry for a black dress? What about gray? And, of course, to white? It's even easier here.

To the black dress choose any decoration with bright stones and pearls. Jewelry with multi-colored decor will look great with such a dress.
And of course, the combination of a black dress and white or red jewelry is classic.
It is not flashy to wear a chain with a small cute pendant with a large neckline.


For a gray dress decorations of achromatic range (white, gray, black) are not suitable. For this outfit, it is better to choose brighter jewelry, for example, pistachio or lilac.
The combination of gray and red is classic. You can also try a more delicate combination of a gray dress with pink embellishments or a less traditional one with green ones. It will be wonderful!

White dress
will look wonderful with white or any multi-colored accessories. Red and blue colors will make the image elegant, pastel shades are suitable for creating romantic bows.

Difficulty finding jewelry to a dress or shirt in a cage. Jewelry for such an outfit should have the simplest possible design with a minimum of decor. The color is selected according to one of the shades of the cell.

If you prefer gold jewelry, do not overdo it, always remember the rule of three. Busting with gold jewelry adds age and a touch of provinciality. This also applies to jewelry made of yellow metal imitating gold: the excess gives off gypsy.

lovers clothes with beads or stones- you already prefer a boring wardrobe. Jewelry is superfluous here, there are jewelry on clothes - it means that you are guaranteed to be the center of attention.
Beads or brooches are not worn with clothes with rhinestones or embroidery. The only advice is to add such a detail to the image as small earrings or a modest ring.

Do not accessorize:

  • Shiny dresses;
  • Dresses with: asymmetric cut of the neck, a bow or drapery in the neck area, as well as models in which the neck is decorated with embroidery, frills, lace, jabot or bow.
  • Outfits with puffs, ruffles or on the bodice are flowers, embroidery, stones;
  • No need for decorations around the neck and for dresses with an American armhole.
  • It is undesirable to use jewelry for a one-shoulder dress, especially if the only strap has a decor (rhinestones, embroidery, etc.). For such a dress, it is better to wear only earrings and a bracelet.

  • Jewelry is not worn under sportswear. An exception may be, for example, a modest leather or plastic bracelet, a simple pendant on a cord, but only if your sportswear is used not for sports, but as clothes for walking.

With your favorite warm wool turtleneck sweater, do not combine massive earrings, and do not complement clothes with prints with pearl jewelry.

And do not wear large beads with long and massive earrings - it looks very unattractive.

Jewelry on the leg

Not against experiments? What do you think of the bracelet idea? If you picked up a long skirt, dress, shoes without studs and platforms (slip-ons, sandals) to go out, such a thing will look amazing.

The only thing to remember is that wearing jewelry on your leg with high heels is not the best option, there is a risk that you will stumble upon unpleasant looks from others and talk in your direction about vulgarity.

Stylist Anastasia Odels, basic jewelry

😉 Hello everyone! Dear ladies, in this article, stylists will reveal the secrets of how to wear jewelry correctly. After all, jewelry can not only emphasize the individuality of a woman, but also spoil her image. In order for accessories to help emphasize the dignity of their owner, you need to follow these simple but important rules.

What is jewelry

Bijouterie - is called jewelry made of base metals and stones. They are cheap, better quality, author's and expensive. The word comes from the French bijouterie - the manufacture and sale of jewelry. Jewelry is divided into

  1. Classic.
  2. Avant-garde.
  3. Ethnic (for example,).

How to choose decoration

From an elegant look to outright bad taste, there is only one step. Therefore, it is worth remembering some rules when choosing jewelry.

You should not wear accessories in a complete set: a necklace along with a bracelet, rings and earrings. It is better to use a combination of two things: a necklace and a bracelet or earrings and a ring. Maximum three. They should be combined and in harmony with each other, but one should be dominant, and the rest - secondary.

There are three things here: earrings, beads and a bracelet. A better option is to leave two things.

Don't make style mistakes. For example, bracelets and rings on one hand of different colors. The combination should be harmonious: a mixture of styles should complement each other, and not conflict with each other.

Trust feelings and. As a rule, a woman who really liked some kind of jewelry will definitely find something to wear it with. Therefore, do not neglect your inner instinct.

Clothing and jewelry

Jewelry should be combined with clothes. The rule is simple, but, nevertheless, many neglect it. You should not wear heavy jewelry if the dress is made of light fabric: they must be in the same weight category.

Jewelry can emphasize the color of the clothes or contrast with it. For example, if a woman wears a white blouse and a blue skirt, you can use jewelry in blue and blue shades. The color wheel will help when choosing a decoration.

It is ridiculous to wear round beads if the blouse has a v-neck. Natural stones are suitable for clothes made of natural fabric. Long beads go well with long dresses. If they are tied in a knot, then they will fit short dresses of a classic form.

It depends on the length of the sleeve which bracelet a woman should wear or refuse it altogether. With a long one, it is better not to wear it or limit yourself to a thin chain. A narrow bracelet with stones will do. With a short one, you can use massive bracelets or several thin ones.

The neckline also influences the choice of jewelry. With a stand-up collar, any will do. It is better to choose V-shaped accessories for triangular ones. When rounded, it is better to wear short jewelry, and chains are suitable for shirts with a collar.

The season dictates its own rules when choosing jewelry. For example, in autumn or winter, a scarf decorated with a pinned brooch or beads will be a good accessory.

Do not wear large earrings in cold seasons. The image of a girl on a frosty day caused bewilderment among those around her: a warm sports jacket, a knitted hat and huge metal hoop earrings. Frost and "Africa" ​​- ridiculous! In summer, you can afford jewelry of different styles and experiment with their combination.

The season also dictates certain shades of jewelry. For example, bright and warm colors (turquoise, pink, emerald) are suitable for summer and spring. In autumn - restrained, closer to cold (honey, brown, coral). In winter - saturated cold (blue, black, transparent).

age orientation

Jewelry can be worn according to the woman's age. Of course, many nuances depend on how old she feels and what goal she pursues: she wants to appear older or younger. However, age "decorations" exist.

For example, at the age of 25, you can safely experiment with colors and shapes and wear inexpensive jewelry. Young girls can wear hand-made jewelry and bright colors.

But expensive gems and metals on them will look less natural. Except for silver. A young girl can wear a pearl thread, but only a small one.

A woman over 25 needs some jewelry, but quite expensive. A Chinese bauble will spoil the whole look. This does not mean that it is time to wear diamonds or other expensive stones and precious metals.

Jewelry from Swarovski

Women over 30 can pay attention to natural stones. They can be matched to your eye color. You should wear jewelry made of precious metals: silver, gold, platinum. At this age, as a rule, you can wear massive earrings, bracelets, beads.

Ladies of the Balzac age are characterized by jewelry with large stones in elaborate frames made of precious metals. True, all ages are submissive to some products: pearl threads and amber beads. A string of artificial pearls will always help out in any situation!

Compliance with these simple rules will help a woman look elegant and harmonious, emphasize her image, character and figure. Of course, she can select jewelry, following her aesthetic principles. The main thing in this business is a sense of proportion and good taste.

You will learn more about the trends in the world of jewelry from this article, you will also learn how to choose the right jewelry and take care of it.



When choosing jewelry, consider a few important points

1. Jewelry should be matched to a certain outfit so that they match and, if possible, be in the same style. For simple, one-color and calm-colored outfits, choose large jewelry; for outfits of bright colors or complex cuts, calm, one-color and small jewelry is best suited.


2. Everything needs a measure. Don't wear multiple pieces of jewelry at once, unless you want to look like a Christmas tree full of toys. A stylish image is the ability to combine an outfit with jewelry.


3. Do not wear jewelry made of different materials. Let them match the color of metal and stones. In this case, your image will look perfect.



4. Do not wear jewelry and bijouterie at the same time. It is better to stop the choice on something one. If you are going to a big event with a little-known company, it is best to wear a jewelry ring. Perhaps when washing your hands you take off your rings and if something distracts you, you can forget your expensive ring in the toilet. When the jewelry ring will not be so sorry.


5. Refrain from additional jewelry if you have a dress made of shiny fabric, a dress whose style is complemented by decorative elements in the neck and shoulders, the bodice of the dress is embroidered with stones or rhinestones. The combination of such outfits with jewelry will not be appropriate, you can pass for a magpie :-)


6. Choose the right accessories. Incorrectly chosen jewelry can ruin your evening by focusing on what you would like to hide.

Buying beautiful jewelry is not difficult. It is sold in specialized stores, many brands even develop their own lines of jewelry that fit the style of their clothing collections. Such jewelry is sold in the same place where the clothes of this brand are sold.


If you have no desire to look for jewelry in regular stores, you can look for your own option by looking on the Internet. And here a surprise awaits you! A huge number of online stores will offer you a wide selection of jewelry, both new collections and last year, but at a reduced price. And what could be more pleasant than sales, when you buy your favorite little thing and at a discount.

Cheap wholesale jewelry is an ideal option when you and your girlfriends can buy your favorite jewelry even cheaper than even on sales. Great perspective!

How to choose the right jewelry depending on the neckline of the clothes

Jewelry works wonders: it can visually make the neck longer or thinner, add volume to the chest, make the arms more graceful, and the waist slimmer. All this will happen only if you choose the right jewelry for your outfit. Otherwise, your image may be corrupted.


See how jewelry sets the mood and complements the look of seemingly ordinary black things.


Examples of improperly selected jewelry from the stars. Perhaps with other outfits, these accessories could look better.



How to properly care for jewelry?

In order for jewelry to please you as long as possible, they need care and not some kind, but the right one. Take note of a few important tips:

1. Do not wash in jewelry. Detergents - soap, gel, shampoo, salt and others negatively affect jewelry. As a result, it may darken or even lose its original color.

2. When wearing jewelry, do not use varnishes, mousses, perfumes and other beauty products. They also damage jewelry by getting on it.

3. If you are going to go to the steam room, remove your jewelry. Failure to follow this recommendation is fraught with burns, and jewelry does not tolerate high temperatures.

4. Do not store jewelry on surfaces exposed to the sun, near radiators and heaters. It also negatively affects the appearance of jewelry.

5. It is advisable to store jewelry at a certain distance from each other so as not to be scratched. It is best if you allocate a special place for storing jewelry.


6. Do not sleep in jewelry, they can be deformed

7. If the jewelry has lost its original luster or there are minor scratches. It can be cleaned, but it is advisable to do this no more than 1-2 times a month. To clean jewelry, dilute a few drops of a mild shampoo in a small amount of water, then gently clean the jewelry with a soft-bristled toothbrush, then rinse and wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth.

What jewelry do the stars choose?

Starting this article, I mentioned that another type of jewelry has appeared - jewelry for the waist. These decorations were used before, but more recently, fashion designers remembered them and began to use them as much as possible in their collections. Celebrities were inspired by this idea and as a result, many of them appeared with chains at the waist.

Let's see what jewelry options attract famous people. In the photo, both precious jewelry and ordinary, but very beautiful jewelry.

“People with good taste wear jewelry. Everyone else has to wear gold.”

Coco Chanel

Many designers claim that well-chosen jewelry can transform and decorate a woman better than the most expensive gold and diamonds. At the same time, it can be worn both with elegant evening dresses and with summer worn jeans - it all depends on your imagination and sense of style. Since such jewelry is especially relevant this season, Vintage Magic brings to your attention a number of simple rules and tips for selecting and combining jewelry, thanks to which your fashionable look will sparkle in a completely new way.

How designers suggest wearing brooches in 2016

For many years, brooches of various colors, shapes and sizes have been at the peak of their popularity. This year, stylists strongly advise us to experiment a little with this versatile accessory.

Brooches for outerwear

One easy way to use this piece of jewelry is to pin it on the lapel of your favorite coat or jacket. In the daytime, it is better to give preference to silver or bronze brooches without stones or with crystals of a calm color scheme. As for the evening dress, decoration with bright stones is more suitable here. This is a great way to decorate your clothes during the colder months as you can personalize your style while still being cozy and warm.

Add vintage to your style

An elegant vintage style brooch is one of the leading trends of the season. And here it does not matter at all whether it will be an old accessory of the 20th century or its modern interpretation. The designers suggest a return to the 1950s, when women wore a fitted cardigan with a round neck, buttoned up, and pinned brooches on their chests. Best of all, such a detail is suitable for a classic look, which can be completed with cropped trousers or a sun-flared skirt.



Decorate the little black dress

If you want to update your favorite black dress, then you simply cannot do without a bright brooch! Choose an abstract or modern design that combines different patterns, colors and shapes to make your outfit look the best, and don't forget that this accessory can easily visually shape your figure by focusing on one or another area of ​​the body.

Brooch for your favorite handbag

Not everyone knows that thanks to a brooch, you can update not only a boring outfit, but also give new life to your favorite clutch or handbag. Pin one or more brooches onto a regular bag to add some sparkle for a special occasion like a dinner party, wedding or birthday.





Decoration for a scarf or hat

This trendy brooch is the perfect complement to silk scarves, turban hats, fur hats, and more. For these purposes, neat pieces of the correct form, as well as vintage-style brooches, are best suited.






1. Don't be afraid to mix old with new. Wear vintage brooches with formal and chintz dresses or a casual patent leather clutch.

2. The most important thing is to choose the right place for the brooch. If there are large buttons on your coat or dress, then the brooch should be placed 10-15 cm higher. The flaws of the figure can also be hidden by placing the brooch in the most advantageous place.

How to wear large jewelryYu

"If you can't keep up with fashion, wait a few years and it will catch up with you."

Boris Trushkin

Large jewelry has been relevant and in demand in the fashion world for several years now. The greatest attention, as before, is given to long massive chains and bracelets. So that large jewelry does not play a trick on you, you should not forget about the five main rules:

1. To prevent your look from being overly overloaded, wear no more than one large accessory at a time. Or use several of the same type of jewelry (for example, 2-3 massive bracelets).

2. Do not wear massive jewelry in problem areas. Girls with large hands should refrain from large bracelets and rings. The same can be said about the neck or chest. Flaws should always be hidden, not shown.

3. Large chains and necklaces should be worn with a calm background. That is, a dress, jacket or shirt should be either plain or light shades. In this case, outfits with a calm top and a fairly bright bottom look very fashionable.


4. Avoid too many folds and frills so that the decoration is not lost against their background, and the image does not look ridiculous and tasteless. Large jewelry looks great against the backdrop of tight-fitting dresses and blouses.

5. For bright printed clothes, you can pick up a ring with a large stone of a similar color. This combination will effectively emphasize your image, concentrating all the attention of others on your person.

Large jewelry for an evening look

To become the queen of any evening, it is enough to decorate a long elegant dress with a massive necklace with stones.

We select earrings according to the shape of the face

Earrings are a very important accessory that can give the image femininity, brightness and at the same time correct the oval of the face.

Girls with a regular oval face shape are perfect with geometric and round earrings, but girls with wide cheekbones should pay attention to dangling earrings, as hoop earrings can visually expand the cheekbones somewhat.

Owners of a round face should choose earrings with pointed ends, trapezoidal shapes and elongated pendant earrings that can visually stretch the outlines of the face.

A rectangular face can be compared to an oval. Since round earrings can visually expand the cheekbones, it is best to avoid them. The best option would be dangling drop earrings or earrings on a chain.

How to choose the right jewelry for the neckline of a dress and clothes

“Jewelry is nothing more than a decorative element, a detail of a costume... With the help of costume jewelry, of course, you cannot boast of your financial viability, but you can emphasize your taste and style.”

Coco Chanel

Unfortunately, not every girl knows how to choose the right jewelry for the neckline of a dress, cardigan, turtleneck or sweater. But an unsuccessfully selected decoration can spoil the whole image! In order not to get into a similar situation, it is enough to follow a few simple rules.


Neckline- almost no modern fashionista can do without an outfit with such a neckline. But not everyone knows that not every piece of jewelry fits such a neckline. Since the neckline itself attracts attention from afar, it should not be further emphasized with accessories. In this case, unobtrusive elegant jewelry that fits snugly to the neck, as well as chains no longer than forty centimeters, will look best in this case.

V-neck does not involve long chains and stylists advise opting for neat elegant jewelry with small pendants. Moreover, the ideal option would be a pendant that displays the geometric lines of the cutout itself.

O-neck is an excellent basis for massive jewelry. At the same time, the smaller the neckline, the larger the decoration should be, and the color of the necklace should partially repeat the color of the base. Also, a similar outfit can be supplemented with all sorts of long chains.
