4 Ways on How to Accessorise this Christmas
Keep it simple
Accessories are a great way to create a statement, however, you don’t want them to take too much attention away from your outfit. Keep it simple by adding one bold piece. Less is more, and you don’t want to overwhelm your look. Styling a complementing set of jewellery is another great way to do this. As all the accessories match, wearing them at the same time will look effortless.

Let colour inspire you
Play around with the colours in your outfit and pick a piece of jewellery, or even a watch strap, that complements it. For example, if you’re wearing a ravishing red dress, add an embossed leather strap to your timepiece. But if you’re wearing something blue, opt for a piece of solid silver or gold jewellery. Following this will elevate your look and show others that you know how to accessorise like a pro.

Consider your neckline
You may have several different styles of necklaces in your accessory collection, but not one that complements each neckline. Finding the appropriate necklace to wear with a specific outfit or neckline can be quite challenging. You need to consider the shape of your neckline and try and find a necklace that matches it. For example, the turtleneck shape suits layered necklaces and the sweetheart neckline suits a wider pendant piece.

This style of necklace complements this neckline extremely well as it draws attention downwards and away from the neck. It can be fastened at a variety of lengths to ensure that the neckline doesn’t look overcrowded. It is also an incredibly pretty piece that has tones of elegance throughout it.
Keep your frame in mind
There are so many beautiful figures out there, but choosing the wrong accessories can make the silhouette look off. You should scale your accessories so that they flatter your frame. Knowing your body type will help you select the right jewellery pieces that accentuate your best features. A pair of dangling earrings or a pendant necklace will look great with an hourglass figure, whilst big chunky rings and bracelets compliment the inverted triangle body shape.

Wearing these earrings will show that you know how to accessorise in a way that accentuates your frame and shows off your best features.
