If you have a formal event coming up, you’ve hopefully found the perfect strapless number that has you thinking glamourous thoughts for your big night out. Now comes the tricky part: what jewelry to wear with this bombshell dress.
Simple Rules for Strapless
- Be dramatic
You want to enhance the drama, not compete with it. Only choose one statement piece as a focal point like a jeweled necklace, chandelier earrings or a bold bracelet. - Choose the right necklace
A bib-style necklace, collar necklace or choker can frame the face, but a pendant or longer chain that goes almost to the waistline can also be fabulous. - Pick the pattern
If the dress is simple or a solid color you can use a statement piece. However, if it has a pattern or other embellishments you will want to consider more subtle jewelry.
Let the Event Guide You
If you’re still unsure of how glam to go, use the event as your guide on what to wear:
- If you are going to a formal event like a wedding or ball, your strapless might be a long gown and this is the moment to wear something a bit more attention grabbing.
- If you are attending a formal professional event, keep the jewelry light and simple.
- If the event is a cocktail party, art gallery opening or other fancy party, your jewelry could be as simple as hoop earrings for an easy element of elegance.
When using this as inspo for your next big event or party, remember that often less is more! Your jewelry should complement and not compete, but most of all you should make sure that your look matches your personality and leaves you feeling like yourself as you step out on the town.
