Dress Codes & Jewelry - What to Combine? Part 1

My newspapers & ads distribution work has kept me busy this week. I took one extra district to distributed and in two days I have been cycling a lot more than normally I would but I don´t complain, since weather has been Sunny and warm. My work is independent, I get nice tanning and exercise in fresh air. 

Although, in this unfortunately COVID-19 time you can´t host big parties, I want to write a little bit about the dress codes and what kind of jewelry you could combined with the dress code outfits. 

If you’re lost with these dress codes, then don’t worry, I’ll tell you about each dress code briefly. Please also remember to read my last blog post, as those tips are also useful for these dress codes & jewelry post. You can find my last blog post HERE.

WHITE TIE:


This dress code are most formal one so what should you pick?

Women can select floor length formal gown and gloves. 
Men can select suit with vest and white bow tie or wear a tuxedo.

Jewelry to combine with this outfit:

Women: As a jewelry, choose as authentic as possible but stick to small jewelry. Good choices are genuine gemstones, pearls and diamonds. If your dress is simple, you can put earrings, necklace and bracelet. If your dress have some embroidery in top or rhinestones, choose just earrings and bracelet.

Men: Choose cuff links with genuine gemstones and luxury watch. 

BLACK TIE:


This type parties are usually after 6 p.m and weddings. 

Women can select floor length formal gown. 
Men can select suit with a black bow tie.

Jewelry to combine with this outfit:

Women: What comes to jewelry, stick in small jewelry and select genuine jewelry materials like pearls (seashells, freshwater pearls...), jewelry that have genuine gemstone or classic diamond jewelry.

Men: Choose cuff links with genuine gemstones and if you like or own, add a luxury watch.

LOUNGE SUIT:


Lounge suit parties are during lunch time or if you are English, timing is during afternoon tea.

Women Can choose preferably knee-high dress or formal gown. 
Men can simply choose suit with a tie.

Jewelry to combine with this outfit:

Women: As a jewelry, you can choose less formal but pearls are always suitable as long they aren´t acrylic or wax pearls. Choose preferably glass or crystal pearls if you don´t own any genuine pearls. Swarovski Crystal pearls are closest in real pearls, they feel little cold towards skin since the pearls have crystal core. Plus, Swarovski pearls comes in variety colors. If you like to add a necklace with your outfit, choose something simple like a pendant necklace. 

Men can choose classic cuff links and classic watch.

COCKTAIL:


Cocktail attire is a standard dress code for parties and evening functions.

Women can choose dress that finishes at or above knees. Also short black dress is appropriate. You can also select evening pantsuit. What comes to shoes, select high heels that are neutral colors or black

Men can select dark colored suit and tie is optional.

Jewelry to combine with this outfit:

Women: Choose sparkling jewelry like anklets, pearls, cubic zirconia jewelry or any other high quality jewelry. 
Men: Choose pendant necklace, sparkling cuff links or statement watch. This time the watch doesn´t needed to be classic and restrained, your watch can be eye-catching. 

I have divided the dress code attires in two parts in order to keep my blog post in decent size. I will post later second part of dress code attires. Special thanks to my stylist friend Annika, who keep Finnish style blog called Ihana Tyyli.
