Reinvent it

Four tips to reinvent your minimalist jewelry game this fall by whowhatwear.com:

Mix your metals: Forget what your grandma told you. Mixing metals is actually a really chic alternative and shouldn’t be avoided. Warm and cool metals complement each other and look great when paired tastefully.

Make silver jewelry stand out: Wearing black with silver is a way to make silver pop. Try a tighter long-sleeve black top and wear a cuff over the sleeve. Not only will you add another style trick to your arsenal, but your jewelry will stand out.

Tuck your hair: For dainty earrings, tuck one side of your hair behind your ear while leaving the other side hanging loosely around your face. This asymmetrical alternative is easy, tells the world you pay attention to the little things and keeps your earring the center of attention.

Opt for nail art: There’s little that can complement a dainty ring better than stellar nail art can. Find inspiration from your favorite street-style stars and choose a neutral hue that will work with any ring you slide onto your pointer finger.
