I never feel fully dressed without jewelry on. And I rarely leave the house without wearing my staple jewelry pieces. For me, jewelry is an essential part of a functional staple wardrobe. With the right jewelry I can instantly transform my casual outfit to an elevated look and easily make my appearance more polished. No look is complete without some jewelry staples.
I think there are certain classic and timeless jewelry pieces that every staple wardrobe should have. Pieces that you can mix and match, dress up or dress down, and of course, wear with your other wardrobe essentials. These pieces should make dressing for any occasion easy and effortless. My favorite thing about staple jewelry is that you can make them part of your everyday wear and create your own signature look.
When choosing jewelry staples, I would focus on classic style and quality over quantity, within the limits of your budget. Classic quality pieces will never go out of style and you can wear them everyday, over and over again, season after season.
I put together a list of 5 classic jewelry pieces that I think you should include to your staple wardrobe. Keep scrolling down to see.
1. Hoop Earrings
Hoops are definitely my favorite style of earrings because of their versatility. Hoops can be worn every day and on any occasion. A good tip for a bad hair day is to put your hair on a low bun and just add some big hoop earrings. They also look extra cute when combined with something sporty like a baseball cap. I would recommend having a few different sized hoop earrings in your wardrobe.
Large Hoop Earrings
Small Hoop Earrings
2. Chain Necklace
Chain necklaces work best when used together with your casual wardrobe essentials. You can layer two or three thin chains over a white t-shirt or tank top. Or add a chunky chain over a sweatshirt or knit.
3. Pendant Necklace
A pendant necklace is an easy way to wear something that is meaningful or important to you. Like your zodiac sign, lucky number or initials for example. I like to add a pendant necklace as a detail to my basic outfits. It is also a perfect layering piece with chain necklaces.
4. Stacking Rings
I love stacking rings because you can really have fun with them. Mix and match different styles, shapes, sizes and metals to create your own signature look. No rules! You can start with one ring and grow your collection over time.
5. Link Watch
Link watch is the ultimate everyday accessory that makes every outfit complete. Some days I like to wear my watch together with gold or silver bracelets and cuffs. And in the summertime, I even combine it with beachy bracelets. For a more polished look, I like to wear it without any other jewelry in my wrist.
I hope you find this list helpful! Comment below your favorite pieces. :)
