How do you wear jeans with pearls?

A single strand over an understated shirt like a t-shirt is classic, clean and fresh. Any pair of jeans will look great – you could add a pair of skinny jeans, boyfriend jeans, or a pair of on-trend boot-cut jeans. If you prefer your pearls to lean on the formal side, opt for black pearls with jeans and a more casual top like a simple T-shirt. If you prefer your pearl strands to be on the dressier side of things, choose light pink or grey pearls to dress up any denim outfit! I am OBSESSED with this black baroque freshwater cultured pearl necklace. OBSESSED.
Wearing pearls with a casual shirt and jean shorts is even perfect for the summertime! Just grab a pair of white sneakers and you’re all set! If you’re going to pull off this look, choose pieces wisely. You want them to be easy to mix and match, versatile enough that you can dress them up or down depending on if you’re heading to an event or just running errands around town.

How can I wear pearls without looking old-fashioned?

If you’re going to pull off this look, choose pieces wisely. You want them to be versatile enough that you can dress them up or down depending on the circumstances, and of course – timeless!
Grab pearls with color like black pearls to give your outfit some edge. As we mentioned above, grey or pink pearls like this single strand are a great choice too for an unexpected modern twist.
Mix and match! Adding two different colored strands makes for a super interesting look. We LOVE this long layered imitation pearl necklace with different colored flowers. So cute! But, if you’re going for a more classic look, stick with white pearls.
When in doubt, choose one strand over a basic top like a t-shirt for a classic, casual look. If your outfit is more colorful like a sundress or patterned or textured top, you choose a single strand pearl necklace instead of a double strand so you’re not too over the top!

How do you wear pearls casually?

Choose a double strand of pearls that are slightly shorter or are more casual to make your outfit feel less stuffy!
Try a necklace that isn’t entirely made up of pearls. For example, I wore a layered gold necklace that was three different lengths and the second chain had one baroque pearl and it was a statement piece that made the outfit!

How to wear pearls every day?

Combine a casual outfit with a pearl necklace, for example black jeans and a plain white t-shirt and a leather jacket or boyfriend jeans with a sweater and ankle boots. Wear a simple top to make your pearls the focus of the outfit!
Wear different pearl jewelry. You could choose a pearl bracelet, a pair of pearl earrings or pearl studs even a pearl ring. Choose a variety of pearls and make it your own unique style for your everyday wear.

When should you not wear pearls?

We wouldn’t recommend wearing pearls when exercising. I think you can get away with wearing necklaces like simple gold or silver chains when working out, but pearls probably would be bulky. And, any can of impact or up and down movement could cause them to hit your collar bone and probably not feel too good.
When swimming! We’d also suggest leaving the pearls at home when going to the pool or the beach. Personally, I haven’t worn them in either scenario, but I am not sure how they’d feel in the water. Also, who wants to get sunscreen all over their beautiful pearls???
Never sleep in your pearls! Not only will they leave indentation marks in your skin, but they can also get caught in your hair and that can’t be fun to wake up to! Youknowwhatimean?
