A New Year’s Eve party is a time to shine! That’s why you may be spending time trying to find the perfect accessories to be draped in this NYE. However, styling your look can actually be harder than expected. You might even be wondering if it’s time to ring in the new year with a new piece of jewelry that you can wear for the ball drop. You want to choose something that matches your outfit but also that you’ll be able to wear again. Check out this simple guide for how to choose a jewelry piece to wear for an NYE party to ensure you pick something perfect!
Pay Attention to Weight
While you want jewelry that makes a statement, it’s important to pay attention to the weight of any pieces you’re planning to wear to a New Year’s Eve party. The problem with a lot of the cheaper costume jewelry out there is that it’s heavy. Manufacturers of “fast jewelry” use cheap, clunky metals that add a considerable amount of weight. That means that necklaces, earrings, and other pieces can weigh you down as you’re dancing and socializing. They can also get caught in your clothing or hair. This can also make them more likely to fall off as you’re moving around. Prioritize lightweight, high-quality materials instead. Lighter pieces can all add the same amount of sparkle to your look without being uncomfortable and heavy.
Prioritize Sparkle
When you’re shopping for NYE jewelry, this is a time to go about 25% more “glam” than you would usually go. You want pieces that hit the light just right. However, you don’t necessarily want to go over the top with sparkle if you’re someone who doesn’t usually wear a lot of jewelry. It’s about finding those signature pieces that will dress up your look without making you feel like you’re dressing up as someone else.
Think About the Rest of the Year
There’s nothing like the feeling of treating yourself to a gorgeous piece of new jewelry at the end of the year. If you have an exciting New Year’s Eve party to get to this year, it’s the perfect reason to splurge on a piece that goes with your party outfit. However, you also want to make sure you’re getting as many miles as possible out of anything you buy. That’s why you should focus on pieces that you can also repurpose. While you want to find something sparkly that fits the occasion, you should also consider how a piece of jewelry might look compared to other things you own. Also, consider how you might be able to mix and match a piece with some of your other jewelry. This ensures that you don’t wake up in January with buyer’s remorse!
Go, Golden
During the holiday season, silver can call to mind thoughts of icicles and snowflakes. However, there’s just something about gold on New Year’s Eve! Choose gold over silver as a way to transition from the December holidays to the glamour and “fresh start” mindset of NYE. Gold can also bring out the colors of your NYE outfit more dramatically compared to silver.
