Pearls are a seemingly southern tradition that often symbolize sophistication and elegance and are often passed down through generations. Whether your pearls are old or new, knowing how to wear them will help you achieve a perfect look.

You’ve found yourself with long, multiple strands of pearls, what do you pair them with? For evening wear, try a simple monotone dress, this is your chance to rock that little black dress! Pair it with simple pearl studs, or a single strand pearl bracelet if the dress is short sleeved to complete your classic look.

If your evening attire consists of a more elaborate look, try a short, small single strand of pearls. These should be long enough to fall in the middle of your chest, without reaching your bust line. This is a simple addition. Pairing the necklace with other pearl accessories could be a bit excessive. Try to keep your accessories simple, if you have an intricate ensemble. If you want an even more modern take on these looks, you can always add a pendant to the center of your short strand pearls. This adds a focal point for the eyes.
For casual wear, you can pair a short, chunky strand of pearls with just about anything. They especially look good with denim jackets and scoop neck blouses. You can also try a long strand with a knot in the middle for these every day looks, for a unique take on the classic image.
There are many other options to add pearls to your wardrobe such as handbags, clutches, and even clothing. This vintage accessory is sure to add dimension and timelessness to your outfits. Do you have a favorite way to wear your pearls? Share darling, share…
