Deck Yourself Out: Here’s How to Accessorize Your Holiday Outfit

Hello World! Welcome Friends!  It looks like your social calendar is filling up with parties left and right this Christmas. Each event calls for you to show up in your best form, appearing in a classic little black dress or dreamy tulle gown straight from a fairy tale. It’s your goal to look chic and stay warm. 

Your holiday wear, however, is incomplete without bling. The merry season deserves no less than touches of gold and silver, sparkling gems, and statement pieces. Accessories jazz up your outfit and create a festive overall look.

So here are top options for accessories featuring your trusted fancy and fine jewelry.

Wear Your Gold Watch Proud

It’s incredible how a timepiece that looks like it belongs to your boyfriend can complement the most feminine outfits. You can imagine wearing a gold watch with a cape blazer, a floral jumpsuit, or a silky white blouse. The watch adds refinement to even a simple outfit.  

Adorn Your Hair

Sometimes, there’s a good reason to skip the salon. Headbands can hold your hair and look beautiful with your do. Go for metallic (something gold) or studded with pearls, rhinestones, and other embellishments. Clips are girly and fun to wear with deep-parted hair. You can also gather your hair with a bow.

Say Hello to Costume/Chunky Necklace

The usual necklace with its metal chain and dangling pendant looks boring. So why not wear two or three of such accessories at once? This tiered arrangement will work if the chains have varying lengths and pendants.

If it’s too cumbersome to wear layered necklaces, how about a necklace heavy with charms, beads, flowers, or pearls? This chunky piece goes well with an open-neck frock. 

Stack Them Bracelets

The clinking of bangles can be satisfying. Pile them on your arm, mixing cuffs, bracelets, and woven friendship bands that designer brands have reclaimed. Like stacking rings, wearing multiple bracelets has no hard-and-fast rules. You have a choice to pile them on one or both arms (in which case, wear fewer bands).

Embolden Your Ears

The holidays are perfect for atypical earrings. They usually have modern and unique designs in silver or gold. Christmas-themed earrings like icicles, bulbs, snowmen, and other ornaments tell you to celebrate. Whatever your choice, make your earrings extra sparkling this season. 

Put on Your Cocktail Rings

These playful statement pieces have been the talk of the town as early as the 1920s. Up to now, cocktail rings capture the flamboyance and fun spirit, just like the holidays. Their size draws attention, so make sure your nails match the occasion. Also, be confident in wearing the cocktail ring in the same way the independent women who popularized it did.

Let Your Rock Sparkle

If you have a diamond engagement ring, you don’t need anything else on your fingers. Its hallmark qualities are brilliance and fire or that colored sparkle when the light shines on it. You can opt to stack it with other rings, but an engagement ring, especially a half-carat one is what it is: a statement and a conversation starter.  

And diamond rings can be bought for a more cost-effective price when shopping online for affordable diamond jewelry. Of course, one must check that the jeweler is reputable with customer reviews to vouch for their service and authenticity of the products.

Additional Tips for Accessorizing

• Mix and match textures and materials when stacking jewelry.
• Go out of your comfort zone, but don’t over-accessorize. If your arm is heavy with bangles, you can skip the oversized rings. Choose between a chunky necklace and contemporary earrings.
• Wearing a watch with a formal dress is taboo, so they say, but you can tuck it with your bracelets.
• Prioritize what you want to catch attention: your clothes (bright colors) or your jewelry (embellished).
• Pack a lot of confidence to strut your statement pieces. 
• Smile. As cheesy as it sounds, your smile is your best accessory.
