Creating an effortless look can take quite the effort! Layering jewelry is a never-ending trial and error task that combines two opposite fashion qualities, to make it look like one timeless piece. Despite being an age-old method, this technique of accessorizing has become quite popular amongst the new generation. But rest assured, this technique is thriving, and is here to stay.
Layering jewelry is an art of expression, but it can easily become a slip up when layering your ethnic jewelry. Choosing the right styles to come together as one is trickier than you think! Here are a few simple tips to help you create a beautiful look.
- Choose alternate textures
Try to combine varying textures, densities and weights to create a stylish look. This tip is great when accessorizing using multiple rings, and layering necklaces. For example, wearing a statement necklace may clash if you accompany it with a statement ring. You can opt for a more minimalist approach with your supporting accessories, as the statement piece will want to shine.
- Play with varying lengths
We believe this to be a rule of thumb when choosing to layer necklaces. Each and every necklace has its own unique design. Building a look where one does not outshine, or create an unkempt and disorganized image, can be as easy as choosing the right lengths. A variety in length will give the impression of an edge, while still showcasing sophistication.
- Explore using different metals
The rumours of only layering jewelry of the same metal/colour to avoid a messy look are far from the truth! You don’t have to avoid mixing your dangling silver earrings with gold studs. Be free to mix your metals, as long as there is harmony between the chosen pieces.
- Don’t overdo it!
We know that layering your jewelry is an art, but sometimes the simplest piece of art is enough to steal the show. Having an overwhelming amount of jewelry may leave you with a chunky mess, therefore, knowing when to stop is crucial. A great way to find out if you’ve gone overboard, is taking a few pieces off and seeing if less jewelry still leaves your look feeling complete. If this is the case, then you are good to go!
