How to Glam up a White Dress or Top

White dresses or tops without accessories often start to look boring. Here are some ideas on what jewelry to wear with a white dress or top.

1. During the day, beaded necklaces work well with white because they contrast well. To keep it simple, try a necklace with beads in one color family - nice during a regular day driving around doing errands or sitting in a cafe sipping a latte.

2. To take it one level further, try a graduated bead necklace - one with different sized beads. They look subtle, yet fun.

3. To spice it up a bit more, try a mix of bright colored beads - perfect for a barbecue party or other outdoor events.

4. If your sleeves are short, wear a bangle of the same hue and color texture with your necklace. With a necklace and a bangle, you could skip the earrings.


5. For evening wear, choose deep colored accessories. For beaded jewelry, think of colors like wine, cherry red, turquoise, emerald, and purple. Or you can also opt for a simple thin gold or silver necklace with a pendant in the same colors.

6. When wearing thin gold or silver chained necklaces, match them thin gold or silver bangles. Generally speaking, try not to mix beaded jewelry with gold or silver. In some cases, it works but in general, beads are more casual and metals are more elegant.

As with all our posts on tips/ideas, these are only a few ideas. It all depends on the kind of outfit and your body type. So take the above suggestions and modify them as you see fit.
