A capsule wardrobe isn’t a new concept—the best jeans, sweaters, T-shirts, jackets, and so on. Narrow enough to keep dressing simple and straightforward while still maintaining a professional appearance. The same may be said for jewelry. There are some basic jewelry essentials that should be in every jewelry box, but allow room for those unique items that give your look personality (akin to a fashion “statement piece”).
Blue trousers and a white T-shirt are just as much of a fashion crutch as the ideal diamond studs and chain necklace. In reality, they’re significantly more versatile and can be worn for a business Zoom call just as well as they can be worn for cocktails once the world reopens. The three pieces of jewelry are described in detail below.
Steel Watch
Steel watches are the simplest (and least expensive) way to enter the world of luxury timepieces, especially for the more prestigious brands. From a casual coffee to a job interview, these two options will work in any setting.
Stacking Ring
Wearing more than one ring on the same finger might be tricky. Do they stack neatly on top of one another? Do they bulk out your digits too much? A plain gold band is a good beginning point, but an already stacked multi-ring style that does all the work for you is much better.
Stud Earrings
The stud is your first earring for a reason. It simply goes with everything, aside from the piercing process. They give a simple bit of glitz that can be worn anywhere, including the gym and the pool.
