General recommendations and common mistakes

  1. First of all, it is necessary to pay due attention to the compatibility of the colors of the outfit and jewelry. Materials of cool shades look good with silver and white gold. Fabrics in warm colors, on the contrary, are with gold decorations. The harmony of textures will ensure the success of the image.
  2. Don't go overboard with color combinations. Jewelry does not have to be the exact same color as the outfit. On the contrary, an emerald dress with emerald earrings of the same shade is an example of bad taste that should be avoided. Decorations should contain adjacent, harmonizing shades. Similar, but not identical and echoing tones.

    REFERENCE.You can familiarize yourself with the rules for combining colors, then the selection of accessories will be more successful, successful and productive.

  3. The rule of harmony and appropriateness. If the product is made using rhinestones, sequins and other flashy elements, give preference to modest and minimalistic earrings. Laconic accessories will not compete with the texture of the product, but will emphasize its beauty. Bright jewelry is chosen for modest outfits, and simple ones for flashy ones. Therefore, massive gold accessories with huge diamonds in combination with a fluffy bright dress will create the effect of comedy and inappropriateness.
  4. General style. Consider the characteristics of the outfit and choose matching earrings to match it. Pearls are not suitable for sporty chic, luxurious diamonds are not suitable for boho.
  5. Pay attention to physiological features: the shape of the face and ears, cheekbones, chin, skin and eye color. An unsuccessfully chosen earring model can highlight flaws.
  6. Age. Not all accessories are equally good for young girls and adult ladies. Keep this in mind when choosing.
  7. Accessories should complement the look, not dominate it.
  8. Times of Day. Not all decorations are equally suitable for evening and daytime events. For the late hours of the day, you should choose precious stones, for walks in the sun - jewelry with feathers, jewelry in the form of beads or coins.

For an off-the-shoulder dress, long earrings are best. Their configuration should be chosen depending on the type of face.

Oval: There are no restrictions on choice, any are suitable. Especially well elongated ovals and pendants.

Square (or rectangular): The facial features are clear and sharp, so it is necessary to soften them a little. Round-shaped decorations and small triangles are suitable. Avoid options with sharp lines, as well as square products.
