Less Is More

This is especially true in terms of quality. Create a jewellery capsule comprise of a few key pieces made from quality materials; earrings are a good start. Think: tiny studs, delicate chains, and stacking rings. These items can be worn all day, every day and look good with everything. Avoid statement pieces and cheap costume jewellery; invest in high-quality timeless jewellery, these minimal staples go with everything and can be worn every day. Keep jewellery subtle and discreet; versatility is your friend.


Show Personality

There’s nothing more boring than generic office style. Don’t be afraid of letting your personality show. Although it’s advisable to stick to versatile minimal basics; jewellery is expression and an extension of your style and you should feel free to express it. Have fun by mixing metals and mismatching jewellery pieces. Think: simple pendants, stackable rings, layered necklaces, and delicate bracelets.


Mix It Up

It’s easy to fall into a habit of wearing the same outfits day in, day out. Don’t get stuck a rut; mix it up with your go-to basics. Keep things fresh by switching up your jewellery regularly. Create a jewellery capsule with a healthy mix of studs, necklaces, bracelets, and rings that you can rotate frequently to refresh your daily style. Get into a habit of wearing different pieces in new combinations to keep your outfits looking fresh and interesting.
