Wear your costume jewellery with Confidence & Style

Costume Jewellery is the perfect way to accessorise an outfit without breaking the bank, however there can be a tendency to overdo it. There’s a very fine line between hittting the style bang on trend and attracting unwanted looks from passers-by. To avoid creating any costume jewellery faux pas, following these simple tips will help you to hit the right mark every time.

1. Learn from the Celebrities
Celebrities know that to make the best-dressed lists and steer clear of the disaster lists they should keep their accessories minimal; a bright and colourful cocktail ring adds colour to a bland or plain outfit but when combined with a cluster of studded bangles and several large, dangling necklaces the overall look can become tacky rather than fashionable.

2. Vary the style
Large statement pieces of jewellery are highly noticeable and will almost indefinitely lose their dramatic impact if worn everyday. It is therefore a good idea to wear costume jewellery in different ways, at different occasions with different outfits. By varying the style and what you wear the accessory with, you can keep the trend fresh and interesting without the need for buying new pieces.

3. Stick to complementary colours
Blend colours in, particularly if at work or at formal occasions when it may be advisable to tone down the costume jewellery look. Instead of a large studded pendant, perhaps make a more subtle statement with a colourful but tasteful necklace. Of course at parties or on a night out, it can be much more tempting to have a little fun with your accessories, and in that case, the bigger the better for maximum effect!

4. Plain Clothes have the biggest impact
Costume jewellery has the biggest impact if the clothes themselves are fairly plain. This allows the piece of jewellery to stand out boldly and become an effective feature of the outfit; a trend that many celebrities choose for the red carpet and at high profile events to guarantee they get noticed. Alternatively if the clothes are fairly colourful, or brightly patterned then a couple of pieces of solid jet black costume jewellery can have an equally dramatic effect.

5. Different types of outfits require different kinds of accessories.
If your hair is worn up, then bold earrings can have much more of an impact than if covered by hair, and plunging necklines can be ideally accessorised with a pendant necklace. Large necklines and collars can be balanced with cut-off sleeves and a few wide and striking bangles of varying colour. Cocktail rings look fantastic if wrist jewellery is kept minimal, as it stands out so much more effectively.

6. High Street Prices, Designer Style
The great news with the latest costume jewellery is that it won't break the bank. The continuing trend for jewellery designers and celebrities alike is for bold jewellery pieces that look extravagant and flashy, but are made with materials such as pewter, gold plating and semi-precious stones. This means that you can afford more items for your money and won't be afraid of damaging or losing expensive heirlooms. If you feel like your wardrobe needs updating, buying a few cool pieces of costume jewellery is much cheaper than a new outfit, and can make your clothes seem brand new again.

7. Be comfortable with your own style
Despite the tips on how to wear costume jewellery, the most important thing to remember to choose pieces that suit you and your own style - don’t just wear something because the celebrities are. Wear your Jewellery with confidence and you’re bound to be happy with the impact you make

At Taylor & Vine, we have a fantastic selection of Costume Jewellery to suit all ages and tastes but won't break the bank.
