Our guide on what to wear and how to style jewellery for London Fashion Week.
Show Your Style
Style is a show-and-tell experience; jewellery is a very personal accessory and a strong symbol of self-expression. The jewellery you choose to wear is a reflection of your style spirit. Some women prefer to stack up their rings and layer up on necklaces, while others want to wear delicate studs and simple bracelets. Whatever your preference is, the art of accessorising is always about adding joy to your outfit; don’t forget to have fun with it and show your style.
Minimise To Maximise
If you want to wear armfuls of bangles, stack up on rings, or layer your necklaces; loading up on jewellery can be an exciting way to style an outfit. But know when to stop. When the rest of your outfit has a lot going on, maximise your style by minimising your jewellery. If you layer up on necklaces or stack your rings, think minimal with your earrings and bracelets.
Necklaces
Necklaces are the easiest way of adding accents to your outfit. Experimenting with shape and style is the only way to find what works best for your outfit just make sure you pick the right length chain and choose the right necklace for your outfit’s neckline. Necklaces look best when they’ve been carefully considered. Wearing a mix of necklaces in various shapes and lengths can make a subtle statement. Layering your jewellery is easy to master; it’s all about length, shape, and attention to detail. Wearing drop charm jewellery will give the illusion of elongation while bar charm jewellery gives a blunt appearance. Don’t want to get in a tangle? Use a multi-chain clasp.
Earrings
Whether you opt for simple studs or dainty drops, earrings can have a big impact on your style. Since they will be in the direct line of vision of everyone you’ll talk to, earrings should be a well considered decision for your outfit. If you want to make a statement, rip up the rulebook with mismatched studs. Using different materials and designs to create a personal look that no one else can match. Dainty drop earrings are the perfect mid ground between petite studs and statement earrings. Opt for a classic teardrop style or modern arcs to add interest to your outfit. If you want fuss-free style, simple studs can be worn all day every day; no need to switch them for every outfit change. Diamond studs add a touch of sparkle and classic style but tiny studs are just as versatile.
Bracelets
Whether you wear them alone or stack them up, bracelets add that little extra something to your outfits. Load up on an armful of dainty bracelets; wearing multiple bracelets looks best when you wear complimentary styles and mix the materials. Opt for geometric shapes in both gold and silver for a modern style. Make sure to wear short sleeves or roll up long ones so your bracelets are always on display.
Rings
You don’t have to wear giant rocks or statement rings to create an eye-catching outfit. Minimal bands and modern shapes can make an even bigger statement than gaudy jewellery. Stack up using bands and midi-rings for a modern twist on minimal style. Opt for rings with flat edges and soft curves, and be careful of over-stacking. Wear your jewellery on alternate fingers and don’t be afraid of mixing metals.
