Jewelry to Wear with a Strapless Dress


From ultra-glam to sophisticated simplicity: How to choose just the right jewelry for a sexy, strapless dress.

You’ve found the perfect dress: a gorgeous, strapless number that complements your figure and makes you feel more than a bit glamorous. You even have the shoes. But, like many (all) of us who don’t have a personal stylist to add that je ne sais quoi touch to make an outfit really spectacular, you may be wavering on what jewelry to wear. Don’t fret. By following a few simple guidelines, you’ll be sure to accessorize your bombshell dress with just the right jewelry pieces.

Be dramatic

A strapless dress is all about drama. A good rule of thumb is to select jewelry that doesn’t compete with that drama; rather, it enhances it. Choosing one statement piece as a focal point — like a jeweled necklace, elaborate chandelier earrings or a bold bracelet — is a nearly fail-safe way to go. With necklaces, you’ll want to consider what looks good with your dress’s neckline. A collar- or bib-style necklace can frame your face while not interfering with the neckline. However, longer chain or pendant necklaces that hit at mid-chest or fall almost to the waistline also have recently been seen on the hottest celebs — and look fabulous.

Pattern and embellishment

What jewelry you choose really depends on the style of your dress. Statement pieces, such as a big bold cuff or black pearl necklace, really shine when paired with a simple strapless dress in a solid color. If your dress is patterned or features other embellishments, you may want to consider more subtle jewelry. Delicate chain necklaces or bracelets and/or stud earrings may be the best accent.

Hair matters

Another item to consider is how you will wear your hair. For up-dos or short hair, dramatic dangling earrings can be showstoppers. If your hair is long, earrings tend to be hidden from view most of the time, so you may want to splurge on a sensational necklace or bracelet instead.

Modern versus retro

You can really make a style statement when choosing jewelry to wear with a strapless dress. For a more modern look, today’s trend is to choose one piece as a focal point, or play down embellishment for a streamlined style. Your look will be more retro if you opt for a “set” of matching jewelry, like a matching necklace and bracelet or matching earrings and necklace.

An occasion that warrants a gorgeous strapless dress deserves some spectacular jewelry. Whether you opt for over-the-top glam or subtle sophistication, following some basic guidelines for choosing the perfect piece will help you make the right investment.

Different Types of Watch Indices

Notable Watch Index Styles Watches are comprised of so many intricate details from the inside out, some you may not even think of. From an aesthetic perspective, you might prefer a particular case material, dial color, or bracelet style. One element you might overlook is the watch’s indices. Indices are another way to refer to the watch’s hour markers. You may be surprised at how much different types of watch indices can impact the look of the dial. Here, we’ve compiled some common types of indices for you to consider. Arabic Numerals Arabic numerals are the most common symbols for numbers today, replacing Roman numerals. They can appear in watches in different forms. Sometimes, Arabic numerals may number each hour marker from one to twelve. Other watch designs use Arabic numerals at the three, six, nine, and twelve-o’clock positions. Occasionally, you’ll see only a single twelve-o’clock Arabic numeral marker.  In some watches, elements like a date window or chr

The 7 Biggest Jewelry Trends of the Fall 2019 Season

There are different ways to be sustainable. One that was bandied about a lot this season was the notion of investing in pieces you can keep for a long time. We’re still seeing the chokers, chains, and mismatched earrings of  Spring , so plan to keep those in heavy rotation. Updates to those categories included single feathers at  Louis Vuitton  and strands of linked paper clips at  Stella McCartney . Earrings were twisted into abstract shapes (see  Sacai ,  Acne Studios ), and Calderisms continue to flourish. Adding a surreal twist was the re purposing of coat hooks and drawer pulls as hardware at  Comme des Garçons . Elsewhere, punk accoutrements like safety pins and dog collars spiked the season with some broody, dark romance . The big news, however, was old news.  Celine ’s pivot to an “old Celine” aesthetic was in line with the “lady” look that first appeared last season. Studded at  Christian Dior  and served on the half shell at  Burberry , pearls are back, but they loo
