No worries, the latest fashion trend is pairing your pearls with a casual outfit like jeans. If you’re wondering how to wear pearls with jeans, keep reading.
How to wear pearls every day
If you are pairing pearls with a simple outfit like a pair of skinny jeans and a black shirt, you can make a dramatic statement by choosing a double strand of pearls that falls mid decollete to draw attention without overwhelming. Wearing pearls with jeans can look many different ways.
When should you wear a pearl necklace?
You can wear a pearl necklace any time you want to! Pearls look stunning with jeans or a dressier outfit. Just be mindful of how you wear it. If your outfit is more colorful like a sundress or patterned or textured top, choose a single strand pearl necklace instead of a double strand.
Can I wear pearls and diamonds together?
Your pearls really should take center stage in your outfit so be cautious when pairing them with other jewelry especially those pieces that are flamboyant. If you choose a pair of pearl earrings, you really only need a simple gold chain for a necklace.
