How to Style Statement Jewelry Without Overthinking It
If the idea of styling bold jewelry feels intimidating, you’re not alone. But here’s the truth: statement jewelry is meant to be fun — not fussy. It’s the easiest way to elevate your everyday looks, express your personality, and tap into a little bit of maximalist confidence.
Maximalism = Confidence
Maximalism isn’t just about “more”, it’s about bold self-expression. When you style statement jewelry with ease, you’re sending a simple message: I show up, I own my look, and I have fun doing it. And sometimes it's a chicken & an egg thing. Which comes first? The confidence or the jewelry? We say: "Just put it on". But here are a few ways to style it and make it YOURS.
The best part? You don’t need a complicated outfit to make an impact.
Start With a Simple Outfit
Here’s the formula that never fails:
-
T-shirt + denim = simplicity
-
Bold necklace + minimalist studs + a bright lip = instant pizzazz
That’s it. No layers of styling rules, no second-guessing.
Let your jewelry be the star.
Here are a couple other tips that you can roll with, or throw them out the window if you prefer.
-
Choose ONE bold jewelry item: Necklace OR Earrings
this is especially good if you're new to rocking bold jewelry & color. - If you are going with a bold necklace, grab a pair of earrings that match but that might be more minimalist. OR if you are going with bold earrings, pair them with a sleek chain necklace.
Why Lucite Is Your New Best Friend
Big jewelry doesn’t have to feel heavy or hot. Lucite is naturally lightweight, which makes it perfect for bold, oversized pieces that feel effortless to wear. Whether you’re running errands or heading out for dinner, you get all the drama without any discomfort.
