What Jewelry to Wear With a Bodycon Dress
It's party time! You've got your dress all picked out, but it's the jewelry that's really going to make or break your look. It's a big night and you want to make a big statement, but depending on what you're wearing, a jeweled belt or bold cuff could be a better bet than your favorite go-to necklace. And whether you choose to wear a little jewelry or a lot, you want to make sure that you are putting the emphasis in the right place. Here are a few tips for accessorizing every dress:
1. Deep V — Pendant Necklace
A deep V provides the perfect frame for a longer pendant necklace. Just make sure the chain isn't so long that the necklace gets lost in your cleavage!

2. Sweetheart — Short Statement Necklace
A sweetheart neckline is a great frame for a bold statement necklace. Just make sure it is a little on the shorter side so it draws the attention up to your face and doesn't overlap with your cleavage.

3. Halter — Layered Bracelets
Halter dresses already have a lot going on up top so a large necklace or too-big earrings can crown your face and make the look feel busy. Instead, try giving your exposed arms a little attention by stacking some fun bracelets.

4. Tank — Ear Cuff and Layered Rings
There's something super cool and casual about a good tank dress, but you don't want to interrupt those loose flowing lines with a bunch of heavy jewelry. An ear cuff is great for drawing attention up towards your face and some cool layered rings help balance out your look without making it too busy.
Top Row: Circle Rhinestone Ear Cuff, LOVE ROCKS, $37; Gold Fang Ear Cuff, MIKEY, $13; Sequin Tank Dress, DVF, $349; Leaf Ear Cuff, ASOS, $15; Floral Stone Ear Cuff, BCBGMAXAZRIA, $38; Bottom Row: Stone Ring 5-Pack, ASOS CURVE, $22; Silver Metal Ring Stack, H&M, $7; Crystal Block Rings, BAUBLE BAR, $32
5. Backless — Fancy Waist Belt
Who says belts aren't be jewelry? A metal or jeweled waist belt will help break up the front of the dress without stealing focus from the main attraction — your beautiful, exposed back.

CREW, $148
6. Crew Neck — Layered Necklaces
With your upper body all covered up, you need something to break up your look. Large statement necklaces can start to feel a little heavy, but layered necklaces allow more of the dress to show through, adding interest to your upper body without completely dominating your outfit.

7. One-shoulder — Bold Cuff
One-shoulder dresses are supposed to look and feel uneven, but even so it's a good idea to balance them out with a bold cuff on the wrist opposite the shoulder strap. Earrings can be a nice touch too, as long as there is no embellishment on the shoulder, which would compete with earrings and make the overall look appear lopsided.
Top Row: Blue Cuff, HENRI BENDEL, $128; Gemstone Cuff, NEW LOOK, $7; One-Shoulder Dress, RILLER & FOUNT, $154; Clear Cuff, FOREVER 21, $10; Cut-Out Angle Cuff, BOOHOO, $16; Bottom Row: Snakeskin Cuff, ADIA KIBUR, $40; Caged Cuff, NASTY GAL, $18; Gold Cuff with Yellow Stones, STELLA & DOT, $79; Woven Chain Bracelet, STELLA & DOT, $98
8. Strapless – Statement Earrings
With exposed arms and an exposed chest, a bold pair of earrings is just what you need to bring attention up toward your face.
