What kind of jewelry do you normally wear with a formal-event halter topped long dress?

Question

I am going to a formal event, and am unsure as to what kind of jewelry I should wear with my dress. It is a salsa style long dress, halter top. For example, do you wear a necklace with a halter dress; and do you wear big fancier earrings or smaller stud ones?? I am also unsure as to do my hair up or down?

Answer 1

I would suggest a drop necklace, small matching earrings and a cute little matching bracelet.
Your dress sounds beautiful, so less is more.
As for your hair, talk to a professional and look through some magazines.

Answer 2

Ooh, I'm gonna get all gushy here!
Okay! Halter: Does it come all the way up to your neck? If you have a little space, you could go with a choker (maybe the color of the dress? Or black/rhine stones would be C. U. T. E.!). If the neck comes up too high, forget it! No necklace needed.
Earrings: I recommend linear (long ones) if the dress has attitude of it's own. Stick with your standard silver/gold-whichever you prefer and looks best on you. This type of earring will lengthen your neck and totally jazz up a salsa style dress! Stay away from chandlier (the ones that are very full and "flashy") unless the dress is simple looking. Studs: Forget it!
Hair: I think it would be lovely if you put it up and left a few locks of curls springing around. Those are always cute and won't take away from the effect of the earrings.
Best of luck! Hope the event goes well!

You should wear a larger earring, a bracelet and no necklace. The print of your dress matters. If it's extremely colorful you can either go with a simple, but large earring like huge hoops in gold, bronze or silver, for example. If you feel you want more color up around your face you could hit the department stores and find some be-jeweled earrings and maybe a matching bracelet
With the larger earrings you'll want to wear your hair up to show off the halter and the jewelry. If this is truly a FORMAL affair your hair could be in a sleek updo. If this event is formal but artsy then wear most of your hair up but keep it looser, sexier, and allow part of it to cascade down your back. Another option that works for both instances is to attach a long, silky, fake ponytail (made of human hair). You can wrap your own hair around the band for a "Jeannie" effect. You can buy these ponytails at beauty supply stores for about $30. They come in many colors.

If the halter is snazzy enough-nix the necklace. If its plain, depending on how low the neckline is you could wear a longer necklace keep in fairly simple like a chain with a pendant in the center at the bottom. I would wear fancy, sexy earrings and a bracelet. Hair up-its a halter and formal. FUN! I LOVE DRESSING UP!

Answer 5

If the dress is busy I suggest not wearing a neclace...let the dress speak for itself...a formal event you should wear elegant earings nothing oversized or flashy, I suggest some kind of dangly... pull your hair back or up, so your earings can be seen and REMEMBER LESS IS BEST...if the dress is a bright color wear a muted lipstick if the dress is muted wear a darker lipstick...I always look in the mirror on the way out and if I feel overdone then I remove something...also a small hand bag, put 20 bucks inside with your lipstick and your debit card and ID...have fun and good luck...

Answer 6

Absolutely no necklace, too much will be going on around your neck. Big earrings can be okay, as long as they are basic, go for a solid gold, silver, white, or black. And make sure they do not touch to closely to your dress. Your hair should be up, not just because it's formal, but because of the style of dress. Also, large bracelets in stand-out colors ( for example, if the dress is black, your bracelets shouldn't be) no more than 2-3 per wrist. But personally, I'd just do 2 on one wrist.

Answer 7

for the jewelry with a halter dress i would wear something small like a single diamond necklace..or nothing... and nothing too big for earrings.. and for the hair i think it depends on what type of event it is.. but i would say up

Answer 8

Chandelier Earings, you can go big on the earings but make sure they are elegant, a cute bracelot, NO necklace... it will make your look a little messy and over the top if you are wearing a halter. I love halter dresses! Have fun!.... oh and a really pretty updo would be nice... you want those earings to shine :)

Answer 9

I would put your hair up in a french twist sort of thing with fancier dangling earings. If you want to wear your hair down then I would say small studs with a very simple necklace. But as long as you feel you look good everyone else will see it. Cofidence is the most important thing to wear. :)

Answer 10

Simple is best when in doubt. A nice pendant diamond necklace is always pretty. Even a simple thin gold chain looks great. Medium sized hoop earrings, or diamond studs look good. One simple bracelet that matches everything else. Don't go crazy with the rings, just pick 1 or 2 that match.

Hair up.
