Layering jewelry is one of the best things you can do to enhance your look. Jewelry pieces are a must in just about any look, but layering them can add a whole new dimension to your style. Jewelry can change the feel of an outfit, so experimenting with layering can help you to update your look quickly and easily.
This quick and easy guide to layering jewelry will give you a few hints and tips so that you feel like a jewelry layering pro:
1.Select Different Materials And Textures
Different materials and textures are essential when layering jewelry. Get out of the idea that everything has to ‘match’ – you can match if you like, but jewelry looks often look far more stylish when you have a variety of materials and textures. For example, wearing faux leather bracelets with metal pieces and even beaded pieces can work well!
2.Mix Up Your Metals
You don’t even need to match your metals. Some people will tell you that wearing gold and silver together is a sin, but they couldn’t be more wrong. You can wear 14k Gold Jewelry with silver jewelry comfortably – you just need the confidence to rock it. Don’t worry about things, not ‘matching.’
3. Pick A Focal Piece And Then Layer Around That
If you’re worried about looking a little off-balance, then pick a focal piece you’d like to wear and layer around that. For example, this could be a focal bangle or a focal necklace, and you could then add a variety of simple bracelets and accessories to ensure they remain the star of the show.
4. Don’t Underestimate The Power of Your Basics.
Wearing lots of basics together can look fantastic too, and works well when you want to channel a casual look. Simple chains, rings, bracelets, and earrings are a must in everyone’s jewelry collection, so make sure you have plenty.
5.Use Necklaces With Different Chain Styles, Lengths, and Weights
When layering necklaces, you want to avoid wearing accessories at the same length. This will look too heavy and ‘samey.’ You need to choose necklaces that can cascade at different lengths. Not only that, different styles of chain and weights to add texture and interest to your look!
6. Remember – You Don’t Have To Be Symmetrical.
There’s no need to be symmetrical when layering jewelry. You can layer bracelets on one arm, rings of different sizes on each hand, and odd earrings in each ear. Whatever you do, don’t be boring!
7. Stay Comfortable
Don’t layer up bangles, rings, necklaces, and earrings if you’re going to feel weighed down by all of the metal. You need to stay comfortable! If you’re not used to layering jewelry, pick just one item to layer and then just wear your essentials everywhere else. As you get comfortable with layering, you can choose to wear more, but you don’t have to. Do what feels comfortable to you!
