Rules for selecting accessories for beginners

Face and neck area

If the face is elongated and narrow, then our task is to visually make it a little wider. To do this, we will add horizontally placed accents. For example, active round earrings, large stones and shiny metal will become two striking points on the sides of the face and visually expand it.

Short necklaces, chokers, and chokers will also balance the face, because they will create additional horizontality in the neck area. If the task is to increase the vertical, then we set the accents accordingly. These can be decorations with elongated lines, elongated, teardrop-shaped. The necklace should be long, preferably in several rows, the chains should have elongated links, and the pendants should be elongated and teardrop-shaped.

If the face is elongated, but at the same time its lower part is active and even slightly protruding, then in this case it is better to choose miniature and laconic earrings. Horizontal lines in the dominant massive area of ​​the face should be avoided. The selection rules are simple: rounded accessories will soften angular features, and clear, geometric accessories will “collect” overly soft ones.

Large faces will suit noticeable, massive earrings of medium or slightly larger size. But huge massive chandolier earrings are prohibited! They will make the face even more massive and only emphasize large facial features.

For girls with average features, small, medium, and large jewelry is suitable.

For small features, we select earrings of medium, slightly larger than average and slightly smaller than average sizes. You should not choose very small decorations, as they can once again emphasize small features, and harmony will not be achieved.

Accessories are always in fashion: the role of jewelry in shaping the image.

“Diamonds are a girl’s best friend” - many people joke about this, but there is some truth in it. It is not necessary, of course, to buy a diamond necklace or ring, but jewelry for a woman plays an important role. Suffice it to recall the main character of the film “Office Romance”, who wore the same suit and did not wear makeup, not to mention the lack of accessories. And during her transformation, she put on not only a new dress, but also earrings, a bracelet and a ring. The image immediately changed, became alive and bright.

It follows from this that underestimating jewelry is a big mistake. They sometimes highlight personality traits much better than even the most beautiful and elegant suit. Why are they so attractive?

Accessories are always in fashion: the role of jewelry in shaping the image.

1. A highlight of style. The completeness of the image depends on the accessories - they can either complete it or crumble it into dust. For example, an unkempt woman in a tracksuit and pearl earrings looks ridiculous, to say the least. And an expensively dressed businesswoman with “grandmother’s” beads nullifies all efforts to create the image of a business person. Jewelry should be combined with clothing, makeup and hairstyle and not be conspicuous. The fashion for bright jewelry began in the mid-80s of the last century.

2. Moderation. Russian women are often recognized abroad without even starting to talk to them. The main sign is “all the best at once,” that is, an abundance of gold both in the ears and on the arms and neck. Sets (necklace, earrings and ring) have long gone out of fashion, so you need to be very careful when wearing large jewelry. Small “studs” and a thin chain are quite enough.

3. Color combination. If the accessory is bright enough, then a real fashionista will be able to make it perfectly highlight her appearance and clothes. For example, a gold ring with a ruby ​​is worn under a red dress and a golden handbag, and a silver ring with an emerald is worn under a green suit and gray shoes. Also, the choice of silver or gold should correspond to the color scheme: the first is for cold shades (black, blue), and the second is for warm shades (red, orange). By the way, with clothes in blue tones you can wear both, in this sense it is universal.

4. Natural stones - for the evening. Here we should dwell in detail on such a beautiful word as “pearl”. Some women have a very attractive and delicate piece of jewelry - a pearl necklace. It is customary to wear it when “going out”, that is, to the theatre, to a symphony music concert, on a date, to a restaurant, to celebrations (weddings, anniversaries). A small necklace looks ideal, but a long one is highly questionable. Firstly, it gives the impression that it is not natural (too many stones), and secondly, it often looks careless, which is simply unacceptable for pearls. You should not wear it in everyday life, because with business jackets and blouses this accessory seems to be lost. The best clothing for him is an evening dress with open shoulders and back.

Many young girls like jewelry. However, it is important not to overdo it, because otherwise there will be the effect of a New Year tree on which they hung everything they could find. For example, a black cord with a silver cross or skull, worn over the same black T-shirt, will look very good. This will give the look a little gothic. You can also purchase a similar bracelet. What you should definitely avoid when buying jewelry is all kinds of rhinestones and sparkles. This is usually what manufacturers do, probably wanting the fashionista to glow and shimmer. It looks even worse than gold - the latter is at least real, but this one is fake.

Thus, you should not neglect the opportunity to complement your look with jewelry. They can be anything, it is important that they suit the place and time. Large and flashy accessories should not be used even at a party, because they look deliberate and sometimes even old-fashioned. They have not been sold or made for a long time, and if anyone is their lucky owner, it is the granddaughters of those women who were born in the pre-war years. It was during their youth that these decorations were popular. But now it’s a different century and different rules, suggesting a different view on purchasing and wearing jewelry.

Rings

Thin and long fingers will look harmonious in rings with horizontal lines in the design. Short fingers will help visually lengthen medium-width rings with an elongated shape along the finger. Thick oval-shaped rings or asymmetrical models will look good on wide and dense fingers.

Glasses

The weight of glasses also depends on facial features. The selection principle is still the same: if the facial features are large, then we select the appropriate ones. If the features are small, then... well, you get the idea.

For a round look, choose pointed, rectangular or square glasses, for example, cat eyes, wayfarers, aviators.

All types of frames suit oval face shapes. Everything!

“Square” will be more comfortable in large glasses - the main thing is to choose those whose frame width is equal to the width of the face.

For faces with a rectangular shape, round ones are suitable.

And remember the main rule: when hanging yourself with jewelry, it is important to control yourself, and you shouldn’t put everything on at once.

How to start using accessories

The importance of accessories in creating a stylish, unique look cannot be overestimated. They allow you to create a street style look from the simplest set of jeans and a T-shirt.


Accessories instantly change the mood of an image, allowing you to look different every day, using a minimum of things.
Why do so few girls love and know how to “play” with hats, belts and jewelry? I don't have an answer to this question. But there is a small instruction on how to learn how to incorporate accessories into your look. Start simple, preferably with belts. Go to the store with the thought that this is not just a “pants holder”, but a full-fledged part of the image that can become a bright accent. You can choose an unusual buckle, textured leather, non-standard color or print - depending on what outfit you will choose a belt for. Be sure to try wearing a belt around your waist, belting jackets, cardigans and coats. If you are afraid of making a mistake with the color, choose one that matches the tone of your outfit.

So, you have already become a guru of belts and straps, it’s time to move up a level and master gloves. They are not just “hand warmers”, but their decoration. Leather, lace, peep-toe, elbow-length, cropped - the choice is limited only by your imagination. To begin with, I recommend purchasing two pairs: one made of dark leather (for jackets, fur coats) and one made of light suede (for coats). Next purchase is gloves in any shade of red. And then you will get a taste for it.

Let's start decorating and go shopping for brooches. It is fashionable and accessible to those who do not wear or like jewelry. Pin them everywhere: on dresses, cardigans, T-shirts and outerwear. You can have several pieces at once. Geometry is now trending in shape, any material. Metal is always a safe bet.

The next most rated piece of jewelry for ease of use is rings. Unlike earrings and necklaces, you don't have to worry about whether they suit your face shape or eye color. The only rule I recommend following is proportionality. For very thin fingers, it is better to choose elegant small rings. For large hands - rings with original stones or figures.

And lastly, scarves and shawls of all kinds. It would seem that there is nothing complicated. But there is a risk of looking out of date or looking like a flight attendant. To avoid this effect, wear scarves anywhere but around your neck. On a bag, like a bracelet, like a hair ribbon, like a belt on trousers and jeans. There are plenty of options. By the way, one of the hottest trends of the spring-summer season is bandanas. Having mastered just this set of accessories, you can already diversify your everyday looks. Without great expense and effort.

Have a good hunting!
