MAKING FASHION FUN:
PAIRING JEWELRY WITH COLORFUL CLOTHING

 

Let your true colors shine with unique, summer jewelry!

Pairing the right accessories with your clothing isn’t always black and white, but with some fashion forethought and an eye for style, you can find the perfect pieces to amp up bold outfits or add fresh glamour to wardrobe staples. 

Our Paparazzi Accessories stylists are here with tips to help you curate vibrant looks that combine your favorite colors with captivating sparkle. Whether you prefer donning vivid shades, neutral tones, or bold patterns, you can find summer jewelry pieces at Paparazzi that complement your style. Here are some jewelry and color pairings that will make onlookers green with envy!

DARING STYLES AND NEUTRAL PALETTES

Clothing in neutral colors, like black, white, brown, beige, and gray, are timeless wardrobe essentials that act as building blocks for eye-catching ensembles. The understated details of neutral-toned dresses, skirts, and blouses let your summer jewelry pieces take center stage,  elevating your outfit from uninspiring to unforgettable.

Neutral colors ground your look in classic style so you can experiment with exaggerated geometric shapes and high-contrast profiles. 

Statement necklaces with mixed metals, bright pops of color, or oversized gems add a playful edge to polished, professional looks. Thick hoops and cascading rhinestone earrings add glitz to your wardrobe so you can transition seamlessly from office style to after-hours glam. 

Layer stacks of gold bangles or hammered silver cuffs to dress up your wrists and embellish simplistic or monochromatic styles. Affordable summer jewelry pieces with strands of chunky, abstract beads stand out against neutral backdrops and inject energy into muted outfits. 

Another easy way to bring daring flair to a neutral palette is to wear statement rings featuring colorful, novelty designs. Blooming florals, geometric shapes, and detailed animals can be found in our selection of novelty rings. Statement rings with oversized gems and stones also grab attention and make your outfits shine.

Reach for gold or silver paperclip chains with tiered pendants or playful charms to infuse a simple look with more personality. Other metal materials, like copper and brass, add subtle contrast to shades of ivory, taupe, and grey to soften your overall look.

 

 

ARTISANAL DESIGNS AND WARM SHADES

Paint the town red by pairing warm-toned clothing with artisanal gold, silver, copper, and brass jewelry pieces! The undertones of these metals complement warm shades of red, pink, brown, green, orange, and yellow to create cohesive looks. Antiqued metal chains, rings, and pendants add depth and vintage-inspired appeal to outfits featuring these hues. 

Wear bracelets and necklaces with details like marbled stones, colorful beads, hammered metals, and floral motifs to connect your warm aesthetic to the natural world. Polished stones like turquoise, rose quartz, jade, and tiger’s eye will give your outfit a more earthy vibe. Eclectic beads made of natural materials like wood, glass, and shells make gorgeous additions to down-to-earth ensembles. 

Artisanal designs often incorporate organic shapes, such as swirled filigrees, scalloped fringes, and hammered discs, making accessories more whimsical and reflective of nature’s untamed landscapes. Choose summer jewelry pieces with intricate floral designs to embrace the playfulness of summer wildflowers. Pair these accessories with flowing skirts, wide-legged jumpsuits, or plaid print dresses to radiate earthy, boho charm!

 

 

SLEEK ACCENTS AND NAUTICAL HUES

If your closet is filled with cool blues, coral reds, and sandy tans, you can use summer jewelry styles to achieve a polished coastal vibe that evokes feelings of calm and adventure. Reach for silver accessories, as they pair well with the cooler undertones of nautical hues. Sleek silver bracelets, hoops, and pendants create a striking contrast against deep blues, embodying glinting sun rays bouncing off ocean waves. 

To dive even deeper into the nautical style, reach for Paparazzi’s sea-inspired novelty jewelry! Embrace our Oceanic Drift trend by pairing seashell, starfish, and anchor details with flowy silhouettes to create a coastal chic look that brings the beach to you, no matter your location.

Sparkling chandelier earrings add shimmering accents to boat neck and off-the-shoulder tops in shades of sky blue or pale yellow. Iridescent beads and glossy pearls breathe refined opulence into cool hues for a refreshing appearance. Accessorize tailored trousers and structured blouses with asymmetrical, organic shapes to replicate the flowing movement of water over land. 

Clothing materials like cotton, denim, and linen often come in nautical shades and pair well with stone, shell, wood, and glass beads for an effortless beachy vibe. If you want to make your casual looks more sophisticated, choose summer jewelry with faceted white gems or layered silver chains. 

For fashionistas who want to introduce more warmth and contrast to their cool-toned wardrobes, throw on a gold charm bracelet or a pair of copper hoops.

 

 

REGAL PIECES AND JEWEL TONES

Deep, rich jewel tones pair well with gold jewelry to create a lingering sense of luxury. Gold chains studded with clusters of pearls or rhinestones amp up the sophistication of saturated hues like sapphire blue, ruby red, emerald green, and amethyst purple.

Jewel-inspired colors often have cool undertones, making them beautiful backdrops for gleaming silver accessories. Pair a satin or silk top with a silver statement necklace to emit timeless opulence and enhance the sheen of the fabric. 

Simple chains with large oval gems, pearly white beads, and intricate metal framing add an air of regality to casual or formal attire.

Shimmery accessories, like chunky rings with stacked rows of rhinestones, intensify the visual depth of jewel-toned clothing. Refined accessories with gems cut in marquise, teardrop, or emerald shapes instantly take everyday looks from laid-back to lavish. Explore regal, summer jewelry in the Paparazzi shop to make your classic, jewel-toned outfits shine!

 

 

TIPS FOR ACCESSORIZING BOLD PATTERNS AND PRINTS

Lovers of striking plaids, stripes, cheetah prints, floral patterns, or other abstract artistry can amplify the vibrancy of their outfits with bold jewelry. 

There is no such thing as too much color, especially in summer fashion, so play with colorful gems, beads, stones, shells, and charms. Turn up the volume by upgrading your basic accessories to affordable jewelry pieces with more bling and texture. Don’t be afraid to stand out and express your individuality!

To draw more attention to the bold prints, graphics, or three-dimensional appliques of your fashion-forward fit, reach for simple chains with delicate pendants or dainty charms that subtly complement the overall look.
