The jewelery that “changes” the look: which ones to choose and how to wear them

Ode to jewellery: if large and flashy, they are able to attract attention. If worn every day and on every occasion, they can become one style signature, the distinctive feature of your style. Self worn “badly” they are really cool. THE bijoux and small jewels, necklaces, earrings, bracelets are capable of transform even the simplest of looks in a unique outfit with surprising details.

This is why this season (but also next and the one after) we advise you to focus everything on them: jewels, not necessarily precious or luxurious, perhaps already present in our jewelery box, but chosen and worn with care. Under we'll explain how.

1. Wear it “badly”, like Miu Miu does

A little outside and a little inside, a little above and a little below. It is Miu Miu that dictates the trend, bringing it to the catwalk necklace of colored crystals (Spring/Summer 2024) and pearls (Autumn/Winter 2024-25) worn incorrectly, with apparent carelessness, which emerge and can be glimpsed from the collars of polo shirts and shirts. To copy! Even with the necklaces we already own.

2. Choose the chain that's right for you

Golden or silver, maxi or more delicate, with wide or narrow links, designer or vintage, luxurious or economical, the chain necklace is undoubtedly the most popular jewel of the season, loved by celebs and influencers, offered by all the brands. It can be worn with everything – on a sweater or a crew-neck sweatshirt and on tanned skin in summer – making any look contemporary. Here because it is the jewel that we should all own.

3. Bet everything on one, and exaggerate…

Don't like the idea of ​​wearing a huge green crocodile around your neck? Even without daring too much, if you opt for exaggerated dimensions, a single piece of jewelery will be enough to transform even the simplest outfit into a sophisticated look. Try one (or a couple) of sculpture earrings or a colorful and fun maxi pendant.

4. …or, on the contrary, multiply

Multiplication can also be a winning style strategy. Take advantage of one of the Piercing Party that Lil Milano organizes regularly – the next one will be on May 11th in Via Gaetano Donizetti 36, in Milan – to fill lobes (and cartilage) with many small earrings, or get a precious Stopgap Of Atelier VM to keep the ear holes made during adolescence open, in view of always new and different combinations or, on the contrary, fixed ones, never to be changed, to create your own style signature… (Continue to next point).

5. Create your own style signature

A pair of earrings, chosen from the super trendy ones – metallic with a ring or teardrop shape (like the Drop by Bottega Veneta) – or many small and precious ones, or even a combination of rings designed to perfection. Choose your favorites and never take them off again! Wear them with sporty and elegant outfits, day and evening, in the city and at the seaside.

6. Wear it in contrast on sleeves, collars and gloves

Long sleeves, high collars and gloves can act as a stage for our jewellery. Necklaces and bracelets, worn in contrast on dark colored fabricsthey will stand out and shine even more, becoming the detail capable of attracting attention.

7. Learn the art of layering

The art of layering it must be put into play when it comes to necklaces, chokers, chains and necklaces. If that of different lengths seems like the golden rule to get what you want waterfall effect (and avoid the unwanted tangle effect), as for styles you can choose a common thread (all silver, all gold, all by Chanel…) or on the contrary indulge in refined mix and match in which to skilfully mix family heirlooms and memories with trendy bijoux.

8. Try on the set

Combining necklace and earrings in sets is a practice back back on trend and safe wow effect. Likewise, wearing multiple identical bracelets on both wrists will guarantee a glam and impactful result.

9. Look for unique pieces (vintage is better)

Earrings and necklaces with a bold design from the eighties and nineties they are not only trendy, but can easily become the key element of contemporary looks. The suggestion is to look for them in the markets, in vintage boutiques, on Etsy, among mother's and grandmother's jewellery, to wear unique and original pieces of the timeto create a look that is difficult to replicate and therefore truly personal.

10. Choose it iconic

A long string of pearls with a story to tell (iconic like that of Chanel or Vivienne Westwood), a maxi ring with a colored stone, or a jewel of a niche brand they will help create your own recognizable style.
