Jewelry Etiquette and Fashion Tips
Women: What Jewelry Accessories to Wear When
Fashion trends change, but the basics stay the same. Basically, if you have to ask if something is
appropriate, it probably isn't. And when in doubt, always wear the plainer dress. Of course your
wedding and/or engagement rings can be worn anywhere, and a meaningful simple necklace
would certainly be acceptable at all events. More details for wearing jewelry for specific
occasions are below.
Jewelry for Weddings
Wedding formalities vary and wearing jewelry coincides with that formality. There are a few rules,
however: It is never okay to dress sexy or show lots of cleavage. Don't upstage the bride, and
don't wear white to a wedding if you are not the bride. A splash of white like on a belt or earrings
is fine, but a white dress is not in good taste. Below is a list of types of weddings, traditional
accepted clothing, and appropriate jewelry to wear.
Informal daytime weddings call for a short dress or slacks, simple, non-chunky necklace and
earrings
Informal evening weddings call for a cocktail dress, elegant pendant necklace or earrings
Semi-formal daytime wedding: short dress or suit, a single brooch and earrings
Semi-formal evening wedding calls for a cocktail dress, sparkly non-dangle earrings, simple
necklace or bracelet
Formal daytime wedding: short dress or suit. Hats and gloves are acceptable. Elegant classic
pieces w/o flash (like pearls, precious metals)
Formal evening or black-tie: Long or dressy short cocktail. A small glittery piece of jewelry. Short
dangle earrings, a sparkly rhinestone necklace.
Ultra-formal or white-tie: Long gown, extra glitz, diamonds, fur, etc.

Jewelry and Clothes for the Office
Your goal here is to look professional, not trendy, too casual, or sexy. Less distracting clothing
and jewelry is always best. Traditional colors of red, gray, navy and black work well. Logo'd
clothing is out. Skip the dangle earrings, lighted novelty pins or anything that's flashy or makes
noise. Not only does it make you appear cheap, it can be distracting on a video or conference
call. Wear simple small earrings, a brooch, or necklace. Quality and simplicity count. Limit rings
to one per hand. When in doubt, wear jewelry and clothing similar to your boss.
Jewelry for Funerals
The best advice for wearing jewelry at funerals is to be sure it is simple and in good taste. A
piece of jewelry given to you by the deceased, or one that reminds you of that person is
acceptable. In general, keep it simple. Opt for a single classic necklace and earrings that do not
flash or dangle. Do not overwhelm by wearing a full parure (set), multiple bracelets or rings.
Again, always opt for the plainer, more conservative look, and if you have to ask if something is
appropriate, remember--it isn't.
Fashion and Clothing Tips
Your Body Type
Remember, it's not about having the perfect body, whether you are rail thin or have womanly
curves, what matters is what works for your shape, and trying to use what you have to your
advantage.
Expensive Designer Jewelry and Clothing
It is not how much something costs, or the designer name on it that makes you fashionable, it's
how you put your clothes together that matters.
What Really Matters
Attitude counts! If you have confidence, it shows. Don't keep or buy clothing or jewelry that makes
you feel bad. If you feel like a million, you'll look like a million! Everyone likes to feel special, so
finding that special vintage jewelry pin or necklace to perk up your wardrobe or your spirits is even
more important than jewelry you keep in a case for a collection.
