How to Add Colourful Jewellery To Your Winter Styling: Our Top D&J Tips
When the temperature drops and your winter wardrobe shifts to cozy knits, neutral coats, and darker tones, it’s easy for outfits to feel a bit, well, predictable. But fear not! Adding colourful jewellery is the perfect way to inject a little fun, vibrancy, and personality into your winter looks. Whether you’re working with greys, blacks, or deep navy blues, bold accessories can elevate your style from simple to show-stopping. Below, we’re sharing some of our favourite tips to bring out the best of your winter wardrobe with colourful jewellery!
Pair Colourful Jewellery with Neutral Outfits
Winter fashion often revolves around neutral tones like Gray, black, beige, and navy. These colours are cozy and chic, but they also provide a fantastic blank canvas for vibrant accessories! This is where colourful jewellery really shines—literally and figuratively. Adding bold pieces will not only brighten your look but also highlight the subtle textures in your winter clothes.
Take our Fun Lover pre-made charm necklace, for instance. Its playful, colourful charms instantly bring life to a chunky knit sweater or turtleneck, creating a vibrant focal point. Or, consider our Opal Star & Moon mini hoops—the perfect little gems to add a spark of colour against your favourite neutral coat. They’re subtle enough to wear daily but add just the right amount of shimmer to elevate your outfit.
Pro Tip: For maximum impact, let your colourful jewellery be the star of the show by keeping your clothing simple and minimal. The contrast will make your accessories pop even more!
Match Jewellery to Your Scarf for a Coordinated Look
Winter is scarf season, and this cozy accessory offers a fantastic opportunity to play with colour coordination. If you’re wearing a patterned scarf, pick out one or two shades from the pattern and match your earrings, rings, or bracelets to them. This creates a perfectly pulled-together look that feels polished without being overdone.
For a solid-coloured scarf, go for contrast! Imagine wrapping yourself in a deep burgundy scarf and then adding the striking turquoise and gold accents of our Opal Star Studs. The rich contrast of colours makes the whole look pop, ensuring you stand out even on the dreariest winter days.
Pro Tip: Don’t be afraid to experiment with mixing colours. The trick is to balance bold shades with one or two complementary tones, so your jewellery enhances your outfit, rather than competes with it.
Go Big with Bold Earrings
Let’s face it: during winter, scarves, hats, and high-collared coats tend to steal the spotlight, often leaving necklaces out of sight. That’s why bold earrings are your winter
styling secret weapon. They frame your face and can easily peek out from under layers of outerwear, making them the perfect accessory to brighten up any cold-weather outfit.
Oversized hoops or dangly earrings in bright colours are fabulous for adding flair to even the most bundled-up look. Even if you're covered in cozy layers, those fun, eye-catching earrings will stand out. If you're after something a bit more subtle but still impactful, statement studs in vibrant hues or unique shapes are the way to go. They bring focus to your face and add just the right amount of pop.
Pro Tip: When going for oversized earrings, balance them with minimal necklaces or skip the necklace altogether to keep the focus on your fabulous earrings!
Mix Metals and Colours for a Warm, Playful Look
Winter fashion doesn’t have to be all dark and moody. Mixing metals like gold, silver, and rose gold with colourful jewellery can add warmth and personality to your look. For instance, a gold necklace with vibrant blue or green stones layered over a cozy sweater will bring a chic, sophisticated touch. You can also create a more playful, boho vibe by layering silver chains with colourful pendants, adding dimension and texture to your look.
Looking for a softer glow? Try rose gold bracelets with warm pink or peach stones. These shades complement winter whites beautifully, creating an elegant, feminine look with just the right amount of colour.
Pro Tip: Layering different metals and colours is all about balance. Stick to 2-3 colours to avoid overwhelming your outfit, and let each piece stand out.
Don't Forget Statement Rings and Bracelets
With all the focus on scarves and coats, it can be easy to forget about your hands. But statement rings and colourful bracelets are still game changers when it comes to winter styling. Imagine slipping off your gloves to reveal one of our stunning permanent rings or a bracelet. It's those little details that take a winter look from every day to extraordinary.
Pro Tip: For rings and bracelets, focus on rich colours and textures that complement, rather than compete, with the heavy fabrics of winter clothing like wool or velvet.
Winter styling doesn’t have to be all about dark tones and heavy fabrics. By incorporating colourful jewellery into your outfits, you can brighten your mood and make a fashion statement that’s uniquely you. Whether you’re layering bold necklaces over cozy sweaters, pairing earrings with scarves, or mixing metals with vibrant stones, these little touches will ensure your winter wardrobe stays fabulous, fun, and full of personality.
So go ahead, experiment with colour and sparkle—your winter wardrobe deserves it! Xx
