Pearls Style Guide
By Jayme Chandler
From Jackie O to Princess Diana, pearls are a timeless accessory for every leading lady. Nothing matches the sophistication and elegance of pearls. Whether you’re going for Parisian chic or political girl power, pearls are a staple for any girl’s closet. Channel your inner Coco Chanel by accessorizing with pearls— an easy way to step up your style game, and bring classic elegance to any ensemble. While pearls can be expensive, there’s no need to break the bank, there are plenty of styles and options at budget friendly prices. While everyone loves the icon pearl necklace and earrings, below are some additional ideas to truly bring your game from preppy to Kennedy.
Necklace
Timeless, simple, but a statement, there truly is nothing more elegant than a pearl necklace. Wear with a blazer, blouse, or dress, step up your work wear with this classic accessory.
Headband
Headbands are already a classic accessory, but nothing is more timeless than a pearl studded headband. My personal favorite way to wear pearls!
Earrings
Dangly or stud, a pearl earring is eye-catching in the subtlest of ways. To keep with the simple and subtle look, tuck your hair behind one ear, or do your hair in a bun, pearl earrings are an elegant way to simply and stylishly dress up any outfit.
Beret
A little pearl beret is the easiest way to sport pearls. Trendy but timeless, a little pop of pearls goes a long way!
Details
Whether they’re on a cardigan, blazer, or purse, pearl details always add charm to any garment. Emulating classic Chanel, pearl details pop on any piece and bring an element of surprise while not overpowering the garment itself.
