Everyone loves wearing accessories. But the sheer number of them that are now available is tremendous. How are you supposed to find something that suits you? 

Well, that’s where this post can help. We look at some of the ways you can conduct yourself successfully in accessory land and come out the other side with something you like. 

Think About How You Live

The first step is to think more about how you live. What sort of accessories will actually suit you? Remember, practicality is important. 

For example, if you work on a building site, dangling earrings probably aren’t the best idea. You’re better off with Sterling silver jewellery studs. 

Likewise, if you have a lot of neutral clothes, it doesn’t make much sense to buy flamboyant accessories. They’ll just stick out and they won’t complement the rest of your outfits. 

Consider Your Colour Palette

At the same time, you’ll want to consider your colour palette. Finding tones that match your skin is essential. 

Warmer tones, for example, go well with warm skin tones. These make the most sense for olive and darker skin. Likewise, if you have a light skin tone, choose cooler, more metallic-looking accessories. 

Make Your Accessories Meaningful

At the same time, it helps to make your accessories meaningful. You want them to have significance in your life and include various items, like family heirlooms with sentimental value. This can help you feel more attached to them and even enjoy them more. 

Have a rummage through your drawers at home to see if anything fits the bill. Look for items that make you feel a connection to the past or the people around you. 

Modify Your Accessories

You can also make items suit you more by modifying them. An accessory might be nearly right. But you can perfect it by changing its appearance using arts and crafts or going to a professional. 

For instance, you could get an inscription on your rings and earrings saying things that mean something to you (such as a date or a person’s name). You can also change the colour and add designs to make the jewellery suit you more. 

Stick To A Budget

Of course, there’s no point blowing all your savings on accessories. You want items that will enable you to keep thriving financially after you buy them. 

Therefore, always budget wisely. And when you do invest, put your money into classics – items that will stand the test of time. Don’t buy anything that feels faddish or spur of the moment. 

Use Layering

Lastly, if an item doesn’t suit you by itself, layering could help. Adding necklaces and jewellery, one item on top of the other, can help you create looks that suit you more. 

Keep experimenting with various items until you find something that creates harmony. Keep working on it until it feels like it suits you individually (instead of looking just as good on a manikin). Remember to consider your size, skin tone, and other characteristics when selecting your appearance.
