You may dress to impress at work, but accessorising your look sensibly is what adds up to make a lasting impression, says an expert.
There are so many inspiring and beautiful pieces of jewelry available in the marketplace providing you with countless styling options. The trick is to discover which pieces add the best finishing touches to your business outfit.
First job Look: If you are just starting work and you want to want to put together a few jewellery pieces to begin with then choose something classic that you can wear every day. You can build on this over time.
Enhance, not exaggerate: Garnishing your outfit with subtle jewellery helps the tones and structures of an outfit standout. Keep it elegant and sleek with minimal jewellery. It could be delicate diamond studs or pearls for those who want to explore less expensive options.
Infuse your personality: Statement pieces can be achieved with simple jewellery like studs, diamond rings, bracelets and necklaces. Layering two simple chains, adding your favourite charm pendants to bracelets, nice cufflinks and brooches to go with your shirt are all out-of-the-box ideas which are all a clever injection of your interests.
Less is more: When it comes to work jewellery, minimal is good. Nothing ostentatious or too flashy. Or too casual either. Leave the friendship bracelets from your year abroad traveling at home.
Say yes to patterns: Complement the everyday go-to ring with a midi ring, a perfectly-fitted bracelet and carry an intricately designed office bag to add a touch of oomph.
No noisy, clinking or distracting jewellery: No to chunky bracelets that hit off your keyboard every time you type. Using the phone a lot? Think simple studs or pearls that don’t fall out easily or you’ll be clambering around on the floor looking for them after you finish every call!
Dressing up should be fun and it should be personal to you. Your style is about who you are and how you want to appear to others. It doesn't have to be twin sets and pearls, or free flowing and boho for that matter.
