How to wear beads?

Many women love jewelry and believe that accessories add variety to their look. These most often include beads. Few people know that an incorrectly chosen necklace can distort the appearance, proportions of the figure and facial features. Therefore, it is important to make the selection guided not only by your own sense of style, but also by some basic rules, which will be discussed later in the article.

Subtleties of combining beads and clothes, shoes, and other accessories

When creating an image, it is important to pay attention to numerous nuances:

• clothing style and color scheme;
• figure parameters;
• appearance features: eye, hair and skin color.

We must not forget about individual accessories. There is no need to wear green sandals and red beads with a white dress, or combine a large necklace and long tassel earrings. Leave only one accent: then the appearance will look harmonious.

Rules for choosing beads for an image

Choosing jewelry to match your look is not difficult at all. It is important that it fits into the overall style of the outfit. For a strict look, a discreet necklace made of pearls or tourmaline is well suited, and for everyday life - beads made of natural stones, felted, ceramic or a pendant on a cord or chain. For some styles, for example, country or folk, an accessory made of large beads with ethnic motifs is suitable.

Most jewelry matches the basic colors in the wardrobe, for example:

• A thin string of pearls will fit perfectly with a blue dress;
• under a powder dress, on the contrary, choose a bright decoration that will become the center of the image.

How to choose beads for a neckline/neckline?

It is important to choose the right decoration for the neckline of a blouse, blouse or dress. It should go well with the type of neck. In particular:

• Long or medium-length chains and a pendant on a long thin pendant will suit a jumper with a high neck. Beads worn in several rows are also welcome;
• Complete a deep V-neck with a laconic short chain, and a small one with long beads;
• The round neckline can be worn with a variety of jewelry. The best options are long beads (and their length should fall at least 10 cm from the bottom edge of the neckline) or a short massive necklace lying along the edge or above the neckline;
• We recommend wearing a choker or a short chain with a pendant under the shirt collar, and the top button must be unbuttoned;
• Wear a deep square, round neckline or sleeveless corseted clothing with a medium-length decoration that lies 4–5 cm above the neckline.

Advice! If you don't like an open collar on your shirt, then choose a medium-length necklace worn over it.

How to combine beads and body type?

The length of the decoration and the size of the beads can visually change the parameters of the figure and highlight flaws. We advise you to adhere to the following tips:

• plump ladies should avoid large or short beads, because they will further increase the shape or shorten the neck;
• For women with large breasts, it is also better to avoid excessively large beads on the neck;
• Long accessories do not suit tall and thin girls: they visually add a few more cm.

Advice! The best option for busty and plump women is long beads, and for girls with small breasts - jewelry made of large stones or beads.

Which beads to choose for your appearance color type?

It is recommended to choose the color of the jewelry not only based on compatibility with clothing, but also according to the type of your own appearance:

• For those with fair skin, dark hair and cool-toned eyes (winter type), accessories in pastel colors: beige, cream are suitable. Strings of pearls also look great. Among bright shades, we give preference to purple, burgundy, lilac and dark green;
• For a “spring” girl with peach skin and golden tints in her hair, you can choose beads to match your eye color. For blue-eyed ones - aquamarine, cornflower blue, and for green-eyed ones - lime, mint and olive. Don't forget about scarlet and coral shades;
• The “summer” color type is characterized by cool eyes and blond hair with a grayish undertone. The best beads are blue, lavender, silver, light green, cream;
• For owners of an “autumn” color type with brown or green eyes, warm undertones of skin and hair, we recommend choosing warm shades. Red-haired beauties should opt for chocolate, orange, and copper beads. Bright shades of ultramarine, yellow and green look good.
