The decade you spend being a twenty-something is a fantastic time to explore, express, and embrace your personal style. You can turn heads and make a statement wherever you go! And since accessorizing and jewelry styling is the perfect way to elevate any outfit you need to have the right pieces in your collection. Today we'll share our take on how to accessorize for five key occasions – curated by us, just for you!

Why You Should Accessorize by Occasion

Changing your accessories depending on the occasion is key because it allows you to tailor your look to fit the specific context, so you feel appropriate and stylish wherever you go. The right accessories can enhance your outfit by adding the perfect touch of elegance, fun, or professionalism, making you feel confident and polished. Whether it's a sophisticated necklace for the office or bold statement earrings for a night out, choosing accessories that complement your setting helps you make a memorable impression and express your personal style.

Date Night Style

Whether it's a first date or a romantic dinner with your partner, accessorizing for date night is all about subtle elegance and a touch of sparkle. Go for a pair of our gold earrings and stud earrings to add a feminine and refined sparkle to your look. Pair them with a delicate bracelet or a simple, elegant necklace to keep the focus on your face and enhance your natural beauty. A chic clutch and a pair of strappy heels will complete your look, so you’re sure to feel confident and fabulous.

Girls’ Night Out Style

For a fun night out with your besties, go bold and adventurous with your accessories. This is the perfect time to experiment with color and texture.

Layer multiple necklaces for a trendy, boho-chic vibe or choose a statement piece like the Waverly Necklace to stand out. Don't be afraid to mix and match your earrings—pair a stud on one ear with a dramatic dangle on the other for an edgy look. A stack of bangles and a flashy ring can add the final touch to a party outfit. Remember, GNO is all about having fun, so let your accessories reflect your vibrant energy!

Vacation Style

Vacation is the time to let your style be as relaxed and carefree as your itinerary. Think lightweight, versatile pieces that can easily transition from day to night. Our silk scarf necklaces can be styled in countless ways and paired with just about any outfit. As for earrings, we recommend choosing beaded or shell options to capture that beachy vibe (if you’re on a beach vacation, that is!). A wide-brimmed hat and oversized sunglasses are must-haves for sunny destinations, while a versatile crossbody bag will keep your essentials stylishly within reach.

Office Style

Professional doesn't have to mean boring! Elevate your office attire with sophisticated, understated pieces that add a touch of elegance to your look.

The Mini Isla Pearl Hoop Earrings or our gold Heart Studs are perfect for adding a refined touch without being too flashy. A delicate chain necklace or a sleek bracelet can enhance your outfit while maintaining a polished appearance. Choose a structured tote bag to carry your essentials in style, and a classic watch to complete your professional look. Remember, the right accessories can help you feel empowered and ready to take on any challenge!

Everyday Casual Style

For your everyday looks, comfort is key, but that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style! Choose versatile, easy-to-wear pieces that add a bit of fun to your daily routine. A pair of small hoops or drop earrings can instantly elevate a simple jeans-and-tee combo. Layering delicate necklaces can add interest to your look without overwhelming it. A stylish yet functional tote or backpack is perfect for carrying your daily essentials. Don't forget to add a statement piece like a chunky ring or a bold cuff to express your personal style effortlessly.
