   Assess your dress. Look over your dress and figure out what to accessorize with. You don’t want the colour or pattern of your dress to clash with the colour or pattern of your accessories. Also, avoid wearing a fancy necklace if it’s a casual dress, and vice versa.

   Use necklaces. The lower the top of your dress is, the shorter your necklace your necklace should be. If your top is higher up, you should wear long necklaces, as long as the top is not already too flashy.

   Opt for earrings. Instead of wearing a necklace with your strapless dress, you could opt to wear large, attention-grabbing earrings. If you’re going to a more casual event, you could wear hoops. If you’re attending a fancy event, try chandelier earrings.

   Style and warmth can mix! Try wearing a cute jacket or bolero over the dress. Make sure it matches the dress. You could also accessorize your dress by wearing a shawl or a shoulder wrap, which works very well if you’re attending more of a conservative event. If the event is more casual, consider wearing a cute cardigan or blazer to keep you warm.
