    What colour accessories should I wear with a pistachio-coloured dress?
    Community Answer
    Stick to light neutrals like tan, beige or off-white with a pistachio-colored dress. Metallic-toned accessories also look great with this color. Stay away from dark colors like dark blues or blacks, because pistachio is a very delicate and light color, and dark accessories might overpower the dress.

    It depends on the season and the occasion! If it's formal, go for muted colors that fit the season. If you're going to a nightclub, clashing colors can look amazing, such as tangerine or lemon yellow.

    How should I accessorize a brown evening dress?
    Community Answer
    Black, gold, green, or white always go with brown. Try adding some gold bracelets or necklaces with maybe green gems. Or you can always go with the classic diamond look. They don't have to be real. Stick with black or brown shoes.

    What accessories should I wear with a classic white dress?
    Community Answer
    It depends on the material, cut, and style of the dress. One good rule of thumb, however, is to try and match your accessories to your makeup (if you decide to wear any). However, if you aren't wearing makeup, a simple, small splash of color is always good. If all else fails, a belt can work wonders and transform a dress completely. Most of the time, a wide belt at your waist will be the best choice, but you will have to try different things and see what you like. After all, how YOU think it looks is the most important!

    What color accessories should I wear with a pink fit and flare dress?
    Community Answer
    Black, white, and darker pink are good go-to's, but depending on how deep the pink is, you may be able to get away with adding spring green or shades of brown. The latter two choices are good if the pink is more on the lighter side, whereas the former three work well with any shade of pink.

    How do I accessorize a multi-colored jumpsuit?
    Community Answer
    Go with neutral tones for the colors, and if the jumpsuit doesn't come with one already, try having a belt around your waist. The thickness doesn't matter usually, but if the colors are loud or they are in a very busy pattern, use a wider belt so there is a more noticeable break between your torso and lower half.

    Yes, you can. It would be a good idea to add a pair of tights/stockings to your outfit, as this will add more variety of colors and style. Sheer black or nude would be best.

    Choose simple jewelry, and maybe see if you can get flower-shaped charms, pendants and beads. Also, if it is a casual occasion, like a trip to the mall with friends, get a pair of neutral-toned flats. But if you need this for a formal occasion, try neutral-toned heels.
  • Question
    What kind of accessories do you recommend for a casual wedding my dress is a bright dark pink shift with crew neck? Shoes? Jewelry?
    Community Answer
    Either wear shiny or matte beige peep-toe or closed-toe footwear. Or, go with dull yet striking colored shoes like sap green, English brown, or lilac. Your jewelry should be simple with minimal design that pops, like a long chain necklace with a bold diamond or a pendant that matches with your hair and shoes. Your bag can be a sling style, coloured in beige too. You don't need a lot of accessories like earrings, however, a thin glittery chain bracelet can oomph up the look. Act casual because the look is casual yet chic.

    Non-ornate ones. Opt for a single diamond necklace and/or bracelet or use simple, plain silver bracelet or a classy silver bracelet watch. A no-accessories look is also great, provided your hair is properly done in any style of your choice, makeup natural or subtle, and your posture is upright.

    Halter dresses are dressy. Navy is classy. Depending upon your shoes and mood, choose anything between metallic earrings with or without diamonds, or choose a steady stud or ear top that doesn't dangle or hang lose. It could be solid navy or playful with a dash of colors like white or the color of your shoes or bag.
