Tricks To Wear Chunky Jewellery To Office Without Looking Like A Disaster

Most people question the choice of wearing jewellery for work. Some like to call it fashion and others consider it ‘criminal’. While India is a land of diverse cultures, women love to wear statement jewellery pieces that rarely leave their body. For example, a mangalsutra is typically not-so-office wear jewellery but we do find ladies flashing their chunky mangalsutra with pantsuits to work. Luckily in India, there is wider acceptability of all kinds of jewellery for work. In the States or UK, the same kind of jewellery might be considered a fashion faux pas.

This brings us to the question that what kind of work wear jewellery should women opt for – Simple and stylish or chunky and edgy? We believe, when it comes to choosing jewellery for work women must be experimental and very confident about their choices. The stakes are absolutely nothing. So, you might as well have some fun accessorizing for work. Here is a guidebook for you to follow to rock those statement chunky jewels to work.

P.S. You still have to keep it all a little more subtle than your fashion looks.

No noise rule

Never wear those coin bracelets or tingling bangles to work. Even the slightest of noise in your bay can gather unnecessary attention that might want to avoid. Keep your jewellery stylish but silent too.

Too much color blunder

Strictly steer clear away from neons, flashy gold and shiny silver. Any kind of blinding bling can obstruct the other person’s view of your professional face. The glittery jewellery is great for parties but not your everyday office wear.

Fusion went wrong

Oh, we do get your love for chunky silver tribal earrings but don’t wear them with a crisp white shirt and black pencil skirt. Any such unusual and unheard kind of fusion looks can do more wrong than right for you at the office. Be discreet about your choices.

Obsession not suited

You might be wearing some precious ring or earrings to work but there is no need to be too chatty about it. Not everyone needs to know about your 3 lakh rupees solitaire ring or bracelet. Be subtle and confident about your choices. Seek nobody’s approval darling!

Distractions at home

You office wear jewellery cannot distract you or others. Wearing a gold bracelet or diamond cocktail ring can take away all your focus and attention for the day. It is arguably correct that women love to watch themselves in the mirror but you cannot do that at work. 15-minute trips to the loo for perfect selfies with your diamond danglers can put you in the wrong light.

Chunky or no chunky confidence is the key

Indian wear at work can be styled best with oxidised silver jewellery. There is no way to separate the chunky of oxidised silver jewellery which means that you are allowed to go out of your way to nail the ethnic looks. Wearing those gorgeous silver chaandbalis or pachelis to work can gather you ample comments in the lobby if you keep following the ‘one statement piece at a time’ rule.

Gemstones are good to go

Seeking a little bit of color in your everyday monochrome work life? The good news is that you can wear your chunky gemstones rings and necklaces to work because of their versatility. These gemstones embellished baubles look fabulous when worn in the right way at the right time. Think of the beautiful summer saree looks you can style with green Jade stone mala and ruby pendant necklace.

 Limited kinds of fashion jewellery are acceptable

Fashion jewellery truly finds no place at a corporate office for 9 to 5 working hours. The metal chokers, silver tribal necklace and Word earrings are suitable for parties but not for your workplace. Besides a few restrictions, you can rock a variety of fashion jewellery. For example, the pearl necklaces are stud earrings are trendy enough for Sunday brunch and classy enough for Monday meetings.

Minimalistic with formals

As much as we love chunky jewellery, there is a special place in our heart for minimalist jewellery. A growing number of woman entrepreneurs are opting for the power suit look accessorized with minimal jewellery. For your knowledge, minimal accessories include geometric pendants, bangle bracelets, band rings, midi rings and tiny drop earrings. The minimalistic jewellery complement offices wear looks very well.

Bling for office parties ONLY

The only time bling is acceptable in the office-like setting is when you’re at an office party. Next time doesn’t worry too much about your office party looks because one pair of blingy studs is all you need to spice up that formal skirt suit attire. Choose interesting designs of jewellery like the floral motifs, trending insect styles and geometric patterns for that added glam.

Don’t be intimidated by all the rules laid down in the guidebook. These are easy to remember and take note of when shopping for office wear through one of the million online jewellery store. It is only a matter of time that you’d be adding more of these do’s and don’ts to the above-list after mastering the art yourself.
