Dressing casually doesn't have to mean skipping jewellery altogether.

When it comes to casual outfits, the right jewellery can make all the difference. Whether you're finessing the classic jeans and a tee combo, or adding flair to a cosy sweater, jewellery can elevate your look from basic to effortlessly stylish in seconds. 

But what pieces should you reach for? Here's Toolally's guide to help you choose the best jewellery for your dressed-down looks. 

Minimalist necklaces: Simple, yet elegant

Why it works: Minimalist necklaces are perfect for adding elegance without overwhelming your outfit. A delicate chain with a small pendant can accentuate your neckline and draw attention to your face.

How to wear: Pair a dainty necklace with a V-neck or crew neck tee for a subtle look. For layered sophistication, stack multiple fine necklaces of different lengths over a plain top. 

Our Bubble Bolt Pendant Necklace is the perfect choice for a simple statement. 

Stackable rings: A playful touch

Why it works: Stackable rings are a playful yet sophisticated way to accessorise. They allow you to mix and match different styles, metals, and stones to create a unique look that reflects your personality.

How to wear: Start with a few thin bands on one or two fingers. You can mix metals (like gold and silver) or stick to one for a cohesive look. These rings pair beautifully with casual outfits like jeans and a white blouse. For a personal touch, try one of our alphabet rings. 

Our silver Alphabet Stacker Rings are an easy-to-wear accessory to get started and  add a personal touch. 

Statement earrings: Pop of personality

Why it works: Statement earrings are a great way to inject some personality into a casual outfit. They can be bold and colourful or intricately designed, adding an instant pop to your look.

How to wear: If you're wearing a simple outfit, like a plain tee or a monochrome dress, let your statement earrings do the talking. Choose a pair that contrasts with the colour of your outfit for a bolder effect.

These Art Deco Chandeliers in Pink Mirror are the ultimate statement earrings and can elevate an every day ordinary look to extraordinary in seconds. 

Chic studs: Understated elegance

Why it works: Stud earrings are perfect for those who prefer a more understated look. They're small enough to be subtle but can still make an impact with the right design.

How to wear: Pair pearl or diamond studs with a casual button-down shirt or a cosy sweater for a polished, everyday look. They're especially good for busy days when you want to keep things simple.

Hoop earrings: A timeless staple

Why it works: Hoop earrings are versatile, complementing everything from casual wear to formal attire. They come in various sizes and thicknesses, making them adaptable to any look for any occasion. 

How to wear: Medium-sized hoops are perfect for an everyday casual look. Pair them with a ponytail or messy bun to draw attention to your face. For a bolder statement, try oversized hoops with a simple outfit, like a turtleneck or a denim jacket.

Our Small Alphabet Hoops are perfect for giving your everyday attired a personal finishing touch. 

Final tips

Mix metals: Don’t be afraid to mix gold, silver, and rose gold. This can create a more eclectic and personalised look.
Balance your pieces: If you’re wearing bold earrings, keep your necklace simple, and vice versa. This ensures your look is balanced and not overwhelming.
Consider your neckline: Your necklace choice should complement the neckline of your top. For example, a long pendant works well with a V-neck, while a choker complements a boat neck or off-the-shoulder top.

Jewellery has the power to transform even the most casual outfit into something special. By carefully selecting pieces that match your style and the occasion, you can create looks that are effortlessly chic and unique to you. So the next time you throw on your favourite jeans and t-shirt, don’t forget to accessorise!
