How to Accessorise your Perfect Party Outfit
LULU AND BOO STYLE FILES: Pairing the perfect jewellery with your party outfit
The Christmas party season is upon us and usually it's all about sparkle and pizazz. With the fashion houses often choosing soft velvets, rich jewel colours, metallics and twinkly sequins to create a statement, accessorising a party outfit with jewellery can elevate your look and showcase your style. Choosing the right jewellery can be a fine balance when the outfits are already singing loudly. Here are a few pointers to help you:
Earrings:
The great thing about earrings is that there aren’t any hard and fast rules to follow so you don’t need to be afraid to experiment. If your outfit is already full or sparkle and pattern, or you’ve opted for a feature neckline, it might even be that earrings are the only accessory you need.
One tip to follow is to select earrings that complement your face shape. For a round face, opt for styles that create length, like dangle or drop earrings. Our beautiful molten heart drops are the perfect playful and impactful earrings for a night out. Available in silver or 9ct gold. Those with square faces can soften their angles with rounded designs, such as hoops or circular earrings. Choose from either our molten gold Halo earrings or molten halo hoops. If you have an oval face, you're in luck—you can confidently wear any earring style.
You can also consider hair length or hairstyle when choosing earrings, the size and style of earring will look dramatically different whether framed by a bob cut or a slicked back ponytail. But again, it’s completely down to personal preference – there is no right or wrong. Go with what makes you feel amazing! Shop Lulu and Boo earrings.
Necklaces:
Necklaces are a super versatile accessory, offering endless styling options through chain length, metal colour, and layering. Shorter chains like chokers create a bold, contemporary look, while longer lengths add elegance and elongate the neckline. Metal colours also play a key role—classic gold tones exude warmth and luxury, while silver can add a sleek, modern touch.
Necklaces can complement necklines beautifully: V-neck tops pair well with pendant necklaces that mirror the V shape. A beautiful choice would be our large molten halo necklace in silver or gold. Classic but impactful. Plunging necklines suit long, dramatic chains or chunky chokers, and statement pieces or layered necklaces can be worn over the fabric of roll necks. For the ultimate party necklace, we would highly recommend the chunky molten halo choker in silver or silver and gold.
Don’t be afraid to double up! Layering necklaces is a stylish way to mix textures and designs, combining different lengths, pendant styles, and metals for a personalized, dynamic effect. Our bobble necklace is an effortless necklace to layer.
Bracelets:
Bracelets elevate outfits by adding flair and individuality. Again, depending on your outfit, you might opt to leave the necklace and only accessorise your wrists.
When wearing a patterned outfit, opt for bracelets in complementary or contrasting colours or patterns to enhance your style. Coordinate your bracelet with your outfit’s colour palette, and don’t shy away from mixing metals with your earrings and necklaces.
Layering bracelets is a fantastic way to make a statement: stack multiple styles, colours, and widths for a unique, eye-catching look. More impactful bracelets like our chunky molten halo bracelet deliver a bold, impactful vibe, while bracelet stacks offer versatility—wear them all for a dramatic effect or just a few for a refined, elegant touch. We love the Wiggle the Luna and the Marianne for a perfect combination. Shop Lulu and Boo Bracelets
Rings:
Stunning rings are the perfect finish for your party outfit. Raise a glass of festive fizz with the perfect selection of rings to elevate your outfit.
We love the silver saddle ring and the gold halo ring for an impactful mix. The luna fusion gold and silver ring is a beautiful fusion of silver and gold and bound to attract compliments as it catches the light and reveals its mixed metal wonder.
You can also wear rings on different fingers—don’t feel limited to just the ring finger. Index and middle fingers are perfect for adding extra flair and variety.
Consider the rest of your jewellery when choosing rings. If you're already wearing multiple pieces, like bracelets and necklaces, opt for simpler, more subtle rings. However, if your other jewellery is minimal, feel free to make a bold statement with your rings.

Remember that jewellery is a reflection of your individuality, and the right pieces should make you feel confident and amazing this festive season. Whether you prefer bold, statement pieces or subtle, minimalist designs, trust your instincts and select what resonates with you. Don’t be afraid to experiment, but always ensure your jewellery complements your personality and enhances your overall look. Ultimately, the best jewellery is that which makes you feel comfortable, stylish, and uniquely you!
