Accessorizing Rules
Follow these guidelines for a polished, professional look
The Rule of Three
Limit yourself to three accessories maximum. This keeps your look polished rather than cluttered.
Watch + stud earrings + belt = perfect
Metal Matching
Keep all your metal accessories in the same color family for a cohesive look.
Gold watch + gold belt buckle + gold jewelry
Statement Focus
If wearing a statement piece, keep everything else minimal and let it shine.
Bold necklace + small studs + no other jewelry
Workplace Context
Consider your industry. Creative fields allow more expression than conservative ones.
