How To Wear Pearls Without Looking Old Fashioned

No one would blame you for passing on wearing pearls as they can bring to mind our grandmother’s stash of old fashioned jewels. Maybe that is the price to pay for being such a timeless and well-loved accessory, it gets passed off as being too conventional and old fashioned.

But there’s a good reason it’s a classic look, and they have been sent down the runways of fashion weeks for years, and still considered classic and timeless pieces of jewellery. Whether they’re on chunky statement necklaces or dainty drop earrings, they will add a chic level of elegance to any outfit.

We have a look at the coolest ways to wear pearls.

Wear a super-sized pearl necklace

Pile them on to form a chunky choker, these large statement pearls offer an alternative to the usual dainty offerings. This look is edgy and chic and practically speaks for itself.

Oversized statement pearl necklaces are standalone pieces and need to be the focal point of any outfit, so it’s key to keep your ensemble simple, for example, pair with a simple little black dress or a classy pantsuit.

Layer up your pearl necklaces

For a modern twist on the single strand of pearls, try layering pearl necklaces of different lengths to make a statement. A very long pearl necklace can be a fashion staple all on its own; layer it around the wrist to form a bracelet, or twist it around the neck for a choker.

Pair a multi-layered pearl necklace with a glamorous jumpsuit for an evening look, or toughen it up with a leather jacket and a pair of distressed jeans for a contemporary edge.

Try shoulder-grazing pearl earrings

Shoulder-grazing iridescent pearl earrings are great for the maximalist attention-grabbing trend. To really grab the cool vibe, go for a pair of statement gobstopper size pearl earrings.

Keep your decolletage bare and keep your hair up as these show-stopping danglers are sure to draw attention to your collarbones. Team these earrings with an off-shoulder floral print dress for spring or a strapless crop top with a pair of high-waisted ‘90s jeans for an off-duty look.
