Meet the perfect jewellery to match your little black dress this party season.
The Slip Dress
2016’s latest trend is a nod to the 90s and a reinvention of the classic ‘underwear as outerwear’ look. You can lean into the lingerie aspect and choose lace, pick satin for a classic look or choose velvet for more nineties nostalgia. For the jewellery, think chokers and luxe friendship bracelets; peace signs and dragonflies.
The Tuxedo Dress
A chic nod to menswear and a timeless trend, the tuxedo dress is here to stay. Mostly seen in satin, occasionally in velvet or with sequin accents. A tux dress looks stunning with bold statement jewellery, especially if it has a slightly masculine twist. Pair with long, statement earrings, a Georg Jensen cuff bangle and perhaps a chronograph watch.
The 80s Dress
Another fun, retro look, the one shoulder 80s style LBD (often complete with ruffles) is enough of a ‘look’ that you want jewellery that matches the aesthetic. Think big, think sparkling, and in your face. Sparkling hoop earrings and wide bracelets. Skip any neckwear, as it can look a little odd with the one shoulder look.
The V Neck
A classic for a reason, this style suits almost anyone. Pair with more delicate accessories; a slim rose gold or silver Sif Jakobs bracelet; small drop earrings, or the elegant Georg Jensen Mobius bangle. A statement pendant like the Fusion can also look fabulous with the right dress.
The Bardot Neck
Named after Brigitte, this look combines elegance and playfulness, and your accessories should match that aesthetic. Exquisite pearl drop earrings or studs are an excellent choice, and go well with a bardot. It’s best to skip a necklace, and instead try a statement bangle.
The Shift
The high neck shift has come back into fashion, especially with long or bell sleeves. It looks gorgeous with rubies or pearl studs. For a Hepburn style look, try a designer multi strand necklet dotted with elegant beads. A fine bracelet or bangle completes the sophisticated look.
