Summer’s right around the corner and knowing how to dress to combat the heat and still maintain our sense of elegance when temperatures rise can be tricky. Luckily for most of us, this summer, it seems like pearls are making a comeback and taking centre stage.
Pearl jewellery is timeless and versatile as it works both with formal attire but also with cool street outfits. If you feel somewhat reluctant in giving pearls a chance, allow us to remind you that pearl jewellery and styling have nothing to do with outdated fashion.
From lustrous pearl strands and single pearl necklaces to eye-catching pearl chokers, below we show how you can easily add that special touch to any summer outfit.
Pearl Necklace with Your Office Dress
One of the easiest ways to style up a summer outfit and wear pearl jewellery is to wear a natural pearl necklace with your favourite office dress. You don’t have to opt for the classic white pearls when you head out to the jewellery store, as you have plenty of organic gems to spruce up your look. Spark your creativity and purchase pearls in pink, lavender, gold, or even black as a way to embellish a white shirt, a blazer, and even your favourite pair of strappy sandals.
A nice-looking pearl necklace will polish up your work attire and give you that refreshing summer look, regardless of whether you’re at a meeting or holding an important presentation before your team.
Sundress with Pearl Earrings
If you’re going for a casual yet romantic look, why not try to pair your summer sundress with some fancy pearl earrings. A long summer maxi dress and some bold pearl earrings are an ultra-feminine yet laid-back look that will surely separate you from the rest of the crowd.
Feel free to create some contrast by choosing a pearl earring that is encrusted in gold detailing and let the earrings take centre stage by not mixing them with any other jewellery. Depending on your sundress’s colour and print, you can experiment with different coloured pearls. For instance, if you’re wearing orange, a white pearl with a gold accent can be a great combination.
Vacationwear and Pearl Anklet
There’s probably nothing as fun and as playful as anklets and it’s the ultimate summer must-have accessory. If you want to maintain a certain level of comfort, you should wear a daintier style pearl anklet that will go perfectly with some flat sneakers and bright clothes.
If you’re going for a picnic with your friends on a warm summer day in the park, wear your pearl anklet with a pair of khakis, a casual white tee, and some flip-flops. This will create the perfect relaxing ensemble but the pearl anklet will still give the entire summer outfit a spin.
The Classic LBD with A Drop Pearl Necklace
Every single woman has a causal little black dress hanging in her wardrobe. If you feel that you want to add a twist to your LBD, you can add some stunning pearls and amplify the entire look.
A drop pearl necklace is an excellent choice for your LDB. It’s a long hanging pendant or string of pearls and is the total epitome of elegance. Pairing these two items together will instantly create a smart sophisticated look, perfect if you’re going to a cocktail party or if you’re attending a friend’s summer wedding.
You can use Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s as your inspiration but as you pair your simple black dress and sandals with a pearl drop necklace, you will create a modern and casual vibe. By wearing an all-black outfit, you will isolate the pearls and make them stand out, and draw all eyes on the beautiful drop pearl necklace.
Simple White Tee and Pearl Hand Jewelry
When speaking of pearl jewellery, we usually think of necklaces, earrings, and anklets. What about pearl hand jewellery? It’s a piece of jewellery that creates an unusual yet interesting effect and wearing it with the iconic white tee and jeans can be an unexpected yet stylish summer outfit.
Rings make excellent hand jewellery and have the power to add volumes to your summer outfit and give it personality. What’s great about rings is that you can use small sizes and use them for layering and create a mix of feminine and edginess.
Final Thoughts
Pearls are timeless and work both during the winter and hot summer months. Whether you’re going for a polished look or something more casual, pearls give you the option of experimenting, creating a stylish ensemble, and making a long-lasting impression whatever the occasion is.
