What’s an outfit without jewellery? The sparkle and joy of wearing precious metals and stones always ties a look together and reflects your personality as there is something beautiful and personal about it but we know, with so many jewellery options you can easily get stuck between choices. Well now, to sort your style woes, we got a few fashion experts on board to spill the bens on some convenient tips to coordinate jewellery with your outfit, which you can easily memorise and utilise for occasions big and small and ensembles understated or grand. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Nishit Nanda, CEO at Youlry.com, suggested some interesting ways to coordinate jewellery with outfit and cut down on the clash, for those who are fighting their fit more than they’re wearing it:

Keeping it casual

If you feel like this is your T-shirts and bling era, fret not and pretty up with a pair of striking yet subtle drop earrings in yellow gold. The simpler the silhouette the more arresting they will look – especially on deeper skin tones. The perks – you get to feel dainty yet stylish with the lowest amount of effort.

Business as usual

For a look that sets order in the room, complement your power suit or pencil skirt with a statement that can be read a mile away. A classic complement getter imbued with meaning -opt for a sturdy yet solid bracelet. With enough wears, it can be your go-to for taking interesting to a whole new level at work while exuding an aura that says you’re in charge.

Statement maker

As we like to say – “when in doubt, go all out” if you’re in the mood to make an entry, make sure all eyes are on you with a statement piece featuring coloured stones with intricate or unusual details. You can go maximalist with layering several stunners or keep it chic with just one theatrical piece. For a night out, go for darker colours that will be the perfect partners in crime to a formal style statement.

Final formal

Playing dress-up for formal events is one of the harder parts of the whole affair, be it weddings, cocktail events, house warmings or hosting. Add a touch of whimsy to your aura with a limited edition or unusual piece that will make for a good conversation starter. Quirky yet interesting, an heirloom, a flea-market find or any one-of-a-kind masterpiece will add a touch of charm to your fit, when paired strategically.

Play it by colour

Who doesn’t love a good colour co-ord? Partition your fits into the primary palette of warm, cool and neutral to understand how well they play with your skin and mood. Whether it be a striking pop of Mediterranean sunshine or Gobi desert gold, bling it up with a blob of colour to evoke the sensuousness of colour therapy.

The shape of you

While fashion rules are meant to be broken, sometimes, the shape of your jewellery plays a big part in elevating the outfit. A classic, minimal design goes well with almost any OOTD while drop-shaped accents evoke femininity. Abstract, asymmetrical shapes when paired with stark or solid outwear and rectangles or squares always speak edgy.

Experimenting is key

Once you’re in your comfort zone with some signature pieces, it’s time to break the flow and get bold. Why not pair vintage filigree with a punk jacket and a goth neckpiece with ethnic wear. Own your favourite gown or sunsuit with an ear cuff that stands out. Just make sure you’re having fun while you’re at it!
