Pearls are a versatile addition to any wardrobe but sometimes they need to be updated a bit. Here are some fashion forward ways to wear pearls. Pearls can look stunning for both day and evening wear and can be the perfect finishing touch to an outfit worn to the office or to a more formal evening affair. With such versatility is there any wonder that pearls have been so
popular over time? Unfortunately, a simple strand of white pearls, although elegant, can look a bit trite and uninspiring for some occasions. Why not jazz up your pearls a bit by adding some additional fashion touches? Here’s how:
How to wear pearls: Wear oversized pearls
Oversized pearls can make an ordinary outfit look dramatic, yet still elegant. Although a strand of large cultured pearls might be out of your price range, don’t be afraid to buy a strand of high quality glass pearls. Look for ones with a nice reflective surface and sheen to them. You’ll find yourself pairing our oversized pearls with everything from your winter sweaters to your evening attire. When you wear oversized pearls, be sure to keep the rest of your jewelry more understated. Let the pearls be your focal point.
How to wear pearls: Add a pendant to your pearls
You can completely change the look of a strand of pearls by adding an enhancer with an attached pendant. An enhancer is simply a piece that clips on to your pearl necklace that allows you to hang a pendant or a cluster of stones on your pearl necklace to give it a whole new look. You can usually purchase an enhancer at your local pearls jewelry store or online. When purchasing an enhancer at your local jewelry store, bring along your strand of pearls so you can see how different enhancers work with your necklace.
How to wear pearls: Mix pearls with metal
For an evening look, layer a few long strands of glass pearls with metal chains in either silver or gold to add a touch of drama to your outfit. Pearls and gold are always a beautiful combination but long strands of glass pearls can look hip worn with long link chains in sterling silver and even copper.
How to wear pearls: Go for colored pearls
You can buy freshwater and glass pearls in a dizzying array of beautiful colors to enhance spring outfits. Look for freshwater pearls in a variety of pastel shades as well as beiges, creams, and even metallic. Layer on several strands of colorful freshwater pearls to enhance a blouse or dress in spring colors. Freshwater pearls are an inexpensive way to add color to your outfits.
