Every wardrobe has
that certain must-haves to keep dressing streamlined and easy. Jewellery
essentials follow much the same rules of a capsule wardrobe—the best jeans,
sweater, T-shirt, jacket, etc., translate to certain classic and timeless
jewellery essentials.
The
perfect studs and chain necklace are just as big of a fashion crutch as blue jeans
and a white T-shirt. Narrow enough to keep getting dressed stress-free while
also keeping you looking good. Think of this as a foundational buy you can turn
to daily.
Below is our guide to
pieces of classic, timeless jewellery that will never let you down on any
occasion. #1: Stud Earrings
There’s a reason the
stud is your first earring. Besides the whole piercing process, it simply goes
with everything. They add an easy touch of sparkle that can be worn no matter
the occasion—gym and pool included. #2: Hoop Earrings
Adorn your arms with
a single bangle bracelet or stack them up—the latter will create the most
delightful jingling sound. They pair well with just about everything, from a
cable knit sweater to a breezy sundress. #4: Pendant
Necklace
A pendant is an easy
way to wear something meaningful (your initials, your zodiac sign) close to
your heart. Best of all, there’s no need to wear just one, they say – the more
the merrier
Thick or thin, gold
chain necklaces are an essential. A chunkier style will add an edge to your
ensemble (perfect for power dressing), while a wispy chain adds a bit of
femininity. You’ll likely need one of each.
Pearl necklaces are
passed down for a reason—they will absolutely never go out of style. We love a
double strand with various-sized pearls, but you can’t go wrong with the
classic single stand either.
Wearing more than one
ring on a finger can take some strategy. Do they fit snuggly on top of each
other? Do they add too much bulk to your
digit? A simple gold band is a great starting point but better yet, opt for an
already stacked multi-ring style that will do all the work for you.
Playing with the gold
and silver hues in jewellery is fun but so is the blue of a sapphire or the
deep red of a garnet. A coloured stone accessory is the easiest way to add a
bit of dimension to your all-neutral ensemble or bring out the flecks of green
in your eyes.
