Jewelry Wearing Rules1 : Are You Wearing It Right?

The success of your overall style depends on your look, and the success of your look relies on your accessories. Jewelry pairing has an undeniable, extraordinary power in fashion—while completing and enriching an outfit, it can also add interest and personality. In fact, some multifunctional pieces of jewelry can even make your outings more convenient. However, all the benefits mentioned have one common theme: first, you need to choose the right jewelry, and second, you must pair it correctly. In the world of styling, there are certain fashion taboos that we might unintentionally break. The line between fashion and failure is very thin. So, let’s take a look at some common mistakes when accessorizing. Once you familiarize yourself with these tips, you’ll surely be a part of the fashionable crowd.

1. Exaggeration ≠ Ostentation

Wrong——The term "exaggerated jewelry" has been around for a few years, emerging alongside terms like "silhouette" and "boyfriend style." In a fashion world increasingly focused on minimalism, it seems that only accessories can rescue your wardrobe full of simple outfits. However, unless you're on a runway or at a fashion event, oversized accessories can sometimes make you look out of place, mistakenly interpreting "exaggeration" as simply "big."

Correct — "Exaggeration" in jewelry means unique and thoughtful design, focusing on "thoughtfulness" rather than just "bigness." A distinctive design and an unexpected way of wearing accessories can add a lot of attitude to an otherwise ordinary outfit. However, it’s not always necessary to drape accessories on yourself; paying attention to their design and aesthetic can make them an integral part of your look, while also offering practical functionality.
