When it comes to styling a look, most people focus just on their outfit, but the real beauty is in the details, such as the hairstyle and the accessories. Details can entirely transform an outfit; even if you have simply thrown on a pair of jeans and top, the hairstyle and the jewelry can make you look and feel elegant. At Lucira Jewelry, we believe that jewelry is not just an accessory, but a must needed style statement to elevate your look. Whether you like designer jewelry or minimalist jewelry, understanding how to style your outfit with different hairstyles and different jewelry pieces, you can effortlessly put together a look that you feel more beautiful, confident and elegant in.
Why Your Hairstyle Matters When Choosing Jewellery
Your hairstyle frames your face and creates a polished look, while your jewelry frames your hairstyle. Together, they can make or break the impact of your look based on how cohesively they are styled. For example, voluminous hair can easily hide delicate, minimal jewelry pieces, while a sleek ponytail can enhance every detail of your pendant chain or v neck necklace.
Your jewelry should complement your hairstyle and outfit without overwhelming your overall look. This is the secret of most stylists around the world, and is the key to create a refined look. In this blog, we have created a concise yet comprehensive to-dos to style your jewelry based on your hairstyle.
Understanding Jewellery Types and Their Impact
Before matching jewelry to hairstyles, let’s first understand some of the most timeless and best jewelry types:
Pendant Necklace
Draws attention to the neckline and elongates the look. A pendant necklace makes a good signature jewelry piece, especially if it is customized and has a meaning attached to the design.
Neck Chains
Chain necklaces are popular for they are versatile and beautifully designed. These minimal necklaces work for everyday wear as well as look spectacular while layering with pendant necklaces.
Statement Jewelry
Bold, eye catching statement earrings become a focal point of the look. When paired with an outfit, statement earrings draw attention and do not need to be paired with a necklace to create a balanced look. Similarly, heavy necklace sets can be paired with small huggies, hoops or studs.
Jewelry Necklace Sets
The necklace and earrings combination, crafted to go together, is perfect for grand occasions such as festivals and weddings. The coordinated look enhances the beauty, while creating a refined and sophisticated look.
Hairstyle and Jewellery Pairing: A Brief Guide
Updos (Buns, Chignons, Sleek Ponytails)
With hair swept away from the face and neck, updos create a blank canvas for jewelry while giving a clean look. The open neckline allows for an intricate and delicate necklace. Statement earrings like a dangler looks best with this style! Create a stylish look with layered jewellery.
Loose Waves and Curls
Soft loose hairstyles naturally add volume to hair. Minimal necklaces, pendant chains, or medium-sized hoops don’t overpower the look without getting hidden in the hair’s texture and volume.
Short Hair and Pixie Cuts
With short hair and pixie cuts, jewellery can be highlighted properly and it makes for the perfect opportunity to try different types of jewellery designs and textures. For instance, geometric minimalist jewellery and short chain necklaces look great! The cropped length exposes the neck and collarbone naturally, giving the jewellery prime visibility.
Braids and Half-Up Styles
If you have straight, side-parted hair or have a half up, half down hairstyle, a tennis bracelet adds elegance while looking smooth and playful. If you have braided hair, you can design your look with trend jewels or jewellery necklace as it adds an element to your styling while also giving you room to accessorize your hair.
Matching Jewellery Metal to Hair Colour
Metal color can either enhance or dull your look, based on how you pair the jewellery with your hair color. Warmer hair shades such as golden blonde, caramel brown, or auburn tend to glow against yellow gold. To create a cohesive and balanced look, style your hair of cooler shades such as blonde, blue, jet black, or espresso brown with white gold or platinum. For unique colored hair - think vivid reds or pastel pink, it’s a great opportunity to accessorize with necklaces that are trending, while mixing the metals and textures. For example, if you have red or burgundy colored hair, harmonize the look with jewellery with a unique styling choice - mixed metal jewellery such as white gold necklace and rose gold colored earrings.
Common Mistakes to Avoid While Choosing Your Jewelry Based On Hairstyles
Here are some quick big NO’s while styling your jewellery based on hairstyles:
- Do not pair statement jewellery with open, voluminous hair
- Do not pair dangling earrings with open, curly hair to avoid the jewellery getting tangled with your hair
- Do not mismatch cooler hair color tones with golden jewellery - it will create a mismatched look
- Do not ignore hair accessories - pins, colorful rubber bands, etc. If they are ornate, balance them with minimal jewelry to pull off a refined look.
Conclusion
Jewellery and hairstyles are both styling tools, and can transform the entire look when done correctly. From wearing mixed metal jewelry to matching jewelry based on hairstyle and neckline, jewellery styling is fun and ensures that every element is perfectly co-ordinated to create a refined look.
