Choosing Silver Jewelry For Casual Wear

Silver jewelry can perfectly accessorize nearly any outfit you can put together, from a casual afternoon with friends to the most formal of occasions. You’ll find lots of advice on choosing jewelry to wear for weddings, parties and more formal occasions. Choosing the right silver jewelry to accent your casual style is just as easy if you remember a few simple rules of thumb about accessorizing with jewelry.

Silver Rings Go With Anything

You can wear silver rings with anything, but most fashion stylists will tell you to keep it simple for casual or office wear. Don’t overdo it. Only wear one ring per finger – with the exception of your wedding band and engagement ring, of course – and only wear rings on one finger per hand for office and most casual wear.

Which Earrings Should You Wear?

Silver earrings come in all sorts of styles, from simple silver studs to gorgeous shoulder-dusting silver chains with crystals and gems. When choosing earrings to wear, consider your face shape, the length and style of your hair, and the outfit that you’re wearing. Shoulder dusters look best with bare shoulders and long, loose hair. If you’re wearing your hair upswept or if your hair is short, choose studs, button earrings or short dangles. Keep your earrings in proportion to your face, neck and head – long earrings can add length to a round face, for example, but avoid them if you have a short neck.

Beautiful Wrists Should Wear Silver Bracelets

From charm bracelets to simple silver chains and bangles, silver bracelets have always been popular accessories for casual wear. Tennis bracelets, either plain or channel inset with your birthstone or favorite gems, are the perfect accent for any casual, sporty outfit and look wonderful on bare arms or short sleeves. Funk-ify your jeans and a peasant blouse with engraved silver bracelets, bangles and charm bracelets that jingle with every movement. Just remember that if you’re dressing for the office, one bracelet is enough. If it jingles when you move your arms, it’s too much for the office.

Silver Pendants and Chokers

Choosing necklaces, pendants and neckwear is easy if you pay attention to the collar of your dress or shirt. If you’re wearing a high neck or a collar that’s close to your throat, choose silver chains that are just long enough to place the pendant at the center of your collarbone. With a scoop neck or V-neck, choose silver necklaces that rest against your skin at least half an inch above the collar.

Silver jewelry is elegant, playful, flirtatious, simple, classic or fun – or all of the above. Choosing the right style and shape of silver jewelry to wear with your outfit is an easy art to learn, and it’s so worth learning.
