Subtleties of combining beads and clothes, shoes, and other accessories
When creating an image, it is important to pay attention to numerous nuances:
- clothing style and color scheme;
- figure parameters;
- appearance features: eye, hair and skin color.
We must not forget about individual accessories . There is no need to wear green sandals and red beads with a white dress, or combine a large necklace and long tassel earrings. Leave only one accent: then the appearance will look harmonious.
Rules for choosing beads for an image
Choosing jewelry to match your look is not difficult at all. It is important that it fits into the overall style of the outfit .
For a strict look, a discreet necklace made of pearls or tourmaline is well suited, and for everyday life - beads made of natural stones, felted, ceramic or a pendant on a cord or chain. For some styles, for example, country or folk, an accessory made of large beads with ethnic motifs is suitable. Most jewelry matches the basic colors in the wardrobe, for example:
- A thin string of pearls will fit perfectly with a blue dress;
- under a powder dress, on the contrary, choose a bright decoration that will become the center of the image.
How to choose beads for a neckline/neckline?
It is important to choose the right decoration for the neckline of a blouse, blouse or dress. It should go well with the neck type . In particular:
- Long or medium-length chains and a pendant on a long thin pendant will suit a jumper with a high neck. Beads worn in several rows are also welcome;
- Complete a deep V-neck with a laconic short chain, and a small one with long beads;
- The round neckline can be worn with a variety of jewelry. The best options are long beads (and their length should fall no less than 10 cm from the bottom edge of the neckline) or a short massive necklace lying along the edge or above the neckline ;
- We recommend wearing a choker or a short chain with a pendant under the shirt collar, and the top button must be unbuttoned;
- Wear a deep square, round neckline or sleeveless corseted clothing with a medium-length decoration that lies 4–5 cm above the neckline.
Advice! If you don't like an open collar on your shirt, then choose a medium-length necklace worn over it.
General rules
When going to a celebration or a romantic date, many girls want to complement their outfit with a necklace. First of all, you need to consider the color combination. Products made of white gold or silver look better with cool-toned fabrics. Yellow gold is more suitable with outfits of warm colors.
- ideally, the shape of the decoration should follow the shape of the neckline, but this rule does not always need to be applied literally;
- When choosing jewelry, take into account the scale; if the figure is large, then it is better to choose more massive jewelry%
- If the dress has rich decoration on the bodice, then it is better not to wear jewelry around the neck; you should limit yourself to earrings and a bracelet.
When creating an image, it is important not to overdo it with jewelry. So, if you are wearing a massive necklace, then it is better to choose small earrings.
How to combine beads and body type?
The length of the decoration and the size of the beads can visually change the parameters of the figure and highlight flaws . We advise you to adhere to the following tips:
- plump ladies should avoid large or short beads, because they will further increase the shape or shorten the neck;
- For women with large breasts, it is also better to avoid excessively large beads on the neck;
- Long accessories do not suit tall and thin girls: they visually add a few more cm.
Advice! The best option for busty and plump women is long beads, and for girls with small breasts - jewelry made of large stones or beads.

When choosing this or that accessory, of course, we remember the scale, proportions, color, your style, tying everything to your appearance. Undoubtedly, when choosing jewelry, you need to start from your own appearance, and not from the appearance of your friend (you never know what she put on herself, this does not mean that it will suit you too).
