Your Ultimate Guide to Matching Your Festive Jewellery to Your Outfit
The festive season is synonymous with vibrant celebrations, and at the heart of these festivities lies the art of dressing up. Choosing the right festive jewellery to complement your outfit can elevate your look and help you stand out. With so many options in fashion jewellery, from intricate Voylla necklaces to modern statement pieces, finding the perfect match can seem overwhelming. Here’s your ultimate guide to seamlessly pairing your festive jewellery with your outfit, incorporating fabric choices, necklines, colours, embroidery, and silhouettes.
Tip #1: Understanding Fabrics and Jewellery Styles
The fabric of your outfit is a fundamental factor in selecting the right jewellery. Each fabric has its own character, and the jewellery should enhance rather than clash with it.
Silk is an opulent fabric that calls for festive jewellery that mirrors its richness. Diamond and gold jewellery are ideal for silk outfits, as they complement the fabric’s lustrous sheen. Elaborate gold necklaces from Voylla’s Aradhana Collection or diamond-encrusted pieces from our Sparkling Elegance Collection can elevate a silk saree or lehenga, making it look regal and refined. For a more traditional touch, antique gold jewellery with intricate designs from Voylla’s Qasbah collection can also be a great choice.
On the other hand, Georgette and Chiffon are lightweight, airy fabrics perfect for a more delicate approach.Festive jewellery made from pearls, semi-precious stones, or minimalist gold pieces like Voylla’s Nazakat Collection work well with georgette and chiffon. Opt for subtle designs that enhance the flowy nature of these fabrics without overwhelming them. For example, this delicate pearl necklace or simple stud earrings can add elegance without drawing too much attention away from the festive season outfit itself.
Satin’s smooth and glossy texture pairs beautifully with sleek fashion jewellery. Consider fine gold or silver pieces that complement its shine. This refined gold choker or this sleek, contemporary necklace can enhance a satin outfit without overpowering it. This approach keeps the overall look sophisticated and balanced.
Cotton is versatile and can handle a range of jewellery styles. For casual or understated cotton outfits, you can opt for traditional festive jewellery like chunky bangles and rings or statement necklaces in Voylla’s Morni Collection. Alternatively, modern fashion jewellery with colourful stones or geometric designs like in our Mosaic Collection can add a playful touch to a simple cotton kurta or salwar.
Tip #2: Neckline and Jewellery Pairing
Your outfit’s neckline is another crucial element in determining which festive jewellery will complement your look. High necklines offer an excellent opportunity to showcase statement earrings. Large, eye-catching earrings or bold hoops can draw attention to your face and add a touch of glamour. Since high necklines limit the visibility of necklaces, focus on earrings to make a statement. Here are some of Voylla’s best statement earrings:
- Trendy Hoops Gold Plated Earrings
- Bagh E Fiza Pastel Jhumka Layered Earrings
- Abharan Red Stones and Pearls Opulent Drop Earrings
- Sparkling Elegance Dazzling American Diamond Teardrop Dangler Earrings
- Sparkling Elegance Midnight Blue American Diamond Earrings
- Kundan Gold Plated Brass Earrings
- Aradhana Deepa Long Drop Statement Earrings
A boat neck, with its broad and open design, is perfect for choker necklaces. The choker enhances the neckline and creates a polished look. Choose a choker that aligns with the outfit’s style, whether it’s a sleek metal band or an embellished piece. Here are some Voylla necklaces that would be perfect:
Wide or low necklines provide ample space for necklaces. Long, layered necklaces or statement pieces can become the focal point of your outfit. Opt for bold designs or multiple layers to complement the open neckline, adding depth and interest to your look. Here are some Voylla necklaces that would fit this jewellery trend:
- Nrityotsava Amulya Long Necklace
- Bela Royal Long Necklace Set
- Heer Gulsheen Long Pendant Necklace Set
- Sparkling Elegance Starry Nights American Diamond Necklace Set
- Hasli Elegant Long Blue Floral Kundan Studded Golden Necklace Set
- Sparkling Elegance Gift of Glamour American Diamond Necklace Set
- Premium Kundan Elegance Gold Plated Necklace Set
- Abharan Red and Green Stones Filigree Jewellery Set
Tip#3: Colour Coordination: Match or Contrast?
When it comes to colours, your choice of festive jewellery can either match or contrast with your outfit. This decision can significantly impact your overall look.
Matching your fashion jewellery with the colour of your outfit can create a cohesive, elegant look. If you’re wearing a deep blue saree, consider festive jewellery with blue-toned stones or similar hues. This approach works well for monochromatic outfits or when you want a harmonious appearance. Our Sparking Elegance Collection and our Kundan collection are great to create this look!
Contrasting colours can make your jewellery stand out. Bright colours, such as a vibrant red lehenga, can be paired with contrasting jewellery in gold or emerald green for a striking effect. This technique works particularly well when you want to make your accessories the highlight of your look. The recent jewellery trend of multi-coloured pieces enhances the visual appeal of your ensemble but also allows for a creative and personalized touch. Voylla necklaces from the Festive Hues, Bagh-E-Fiza and Forever More collections match this trend perfectly!
Bright, bold colours often benefit from statement festive jewellery that contrasts or complements the intensity of the outfit. On the other hand, pastel outfits call for delicate jewellery that enhances their soft hues. For example, a pastel lehenga can be paired with subtle silver jewellery like this set or pearl jewellery like this, while a bright, bold saree can handle heavier, more elaborate pieces like this.
Tip #4: Balancing Embroidery with Accessories
The level of embroidery on your outfit plays a significant role in determining the appropriate festive jewellery.
For outfits with minimal embroidery, you can afford to wear more elaborate, heavy jewellery. This creates a balanced look where the jewellery becomes a focal point. Opt for statement pieces like elaborate Voylla necklaces or large earrings to enhance the outfit’s simplicity. Here are some pieces from Voylla’s collection for this jewellery trend:
If your outfit is heavily embroidered, it’s best to choose simpler fashion jewellery to avoid overwhelming the look. Delicate pieces that complement the embroidery without competing with it are ideal. For instance, a pair of simple diamond studs or a thin gold bracelet can provide a subtle accent without detracting from the outfit’s intricate details.
When dealing with various types of embroidery, mixing metals can be a stylish choice. If your outfit features multiple metallic threads or embellishments, coordinating your festive jewellery metals with these details can create a cohesive appearance. This approach allows you to highlight the embroidery while adding a touch of elegance. Explore Voylla’s Qasbah and Veerangana collections for exquisite 2-tone fashion jewellery.
Tip#5: Silhouettes and Jewellery Choices
Different silhouettes and styles of outfits call for specific types of fashion jewellery.
For sarees, classic festive jewellery choices include long necklaces, elaborate earrings, and intricately designed bangles. Voylla necklaces, known for their detailed craftsmanship, are a perfect match for sarees, adding a touch of sophistication. Pairing a saree with a combination of statement pieces enhances its elegance and charm. Explore collections like Pashmina , Aradhana and Apsara to create the look.
Lehengas, often adorned with rich designs, pair well with heavy jewellery. Opt for bold necklaces, elaborate earrings, and intricate bangles to complement the lehenga’s opulence. Choose fashion jewellery that matches the lehenga’s embellishments for a cohesive look. Voylla’s Heer, Kundan and Sparkling Elegance collections are perfect for this.
For salwar kameez outfits, you can strike a balance with your festive jewellery choices. Depending on the outfit’s design, you can choose between delicate pieces or more substantial accessories. A mix of simple earrings and a statement necklace can create a well-rounded appearance. Voylla’s Hasli, Nazakat and Fresh Fern collections have some pieces that would be ideal for this!
Indo-western outfits offer flexibility in fashion jewellery choices. You can mix traditional and contemporary pieces to create a unique look. For example, pairing a modern dress with traditional bangles or a statement necklace can add a fusion touch to your outfit.
In conclusion..
Selecting the right festive jewellery involves a thoughtful approach to fabric, neckline, colour, embroidery, and silhouette. By understanding these elements and incorporating current jewellery trends, you can create a harmonious and stylish festive season look. Whether you’re opting for Voylla necklaces, intricate gold pieces, or delicate fashion jewellery, let your accessories enhance your outfit and reflect your personal style.
