If there’s one simple rule for fashion jewelry looks this season, it’s go big or go home. Everywhere from the red carpet to the office, ladies this year are wearing large statement pieces in bold colors. Eye-catching metallics and jewel tones are everywhere. These pieces are fun, flattering, and easy to find. The key is to avoid wearing too many at once. As long as you keep focus on one area, no piece of jewelry is too bold.
Try a large ring on one hand to add an air of confidence and power. A large, bright brooch on a jacket or coat can produce the same effect, but remember to avoid going too sparkly for daytime. Materials like crystals and sequins can look unprofessional in the office, but a large piece of jewelry finished in glass beads or uncut stones can be both appropriate and memorable.
If you prefer to put your statement on your wrist, you’re in luck. Chunky bangle bracelets in every imaginable color are everywhere right now. Wear them at a fancy function to add interest to a sleeveless dress, or with jeans for a more casual feel.
Don’t try to match your jewelry to your outfit this season; complementary colors are the trend right now. Wear warm-colored accessories with cool-toned clothes and vice versa. This makes each color stand out sharply and adds overall interest to your look.
Wear several long strands of beads or chain necklaces to update an outfit with this season’s bright spring colors and to elongate your silhouette. An untied wrap sweater or long cardigan will add to this effect. Try this with skinny jeans tucked into tall boots to be absolutely up-to-date.
Jade green dangle earrings are the current red carpet trend. This color looks good with nearly every skin tone, and is being worn with dresses in absolutely every color. The key here is to find the right shade of green to complement and draw attention to your face. When you’ve found the right earrings, they will look good on you with any dress.
No matter what the occasion this season, have fun with some big, bold accessories.
