During the Mad Men era, in the 1950s and 1960s, the number one fashion rule was matching. Matching jewelry sets used to be a standard feature of every fashionable woman’s wardrobe, and jewelry designers were all over the trend.
Today, wearing clothes or jewelry that match might seem like a fashion throwback. But matching is on trend again. Matched sets were one of the hippest fashion trends for Spring and Summer 2013, and Vogue recently predicted that this will continue into the fall.
However, the modern earring necklace set of today is in a different form – less matchy than those from the past, and going more for a coordinated look that balances pulled-together with the unstudied. A great option for the hip fashionista.
Dressing the way some fashion icons did back then looks costume-y now because everything went together. Jewelry was matched to shoes, shoes to hats, and hats to purses. It was even common to dress in all one color from head to toe, including accessories.
On trend fashionistas would not dress that way now. But there will always be a place for careful coordination in fashion. What’s different today is that we use matching in more sophisticated ways. It’s all about interpretation. In an era of anything-goes fashion, coordinated jewelry is eternally right. That’s especially true for special occasions or on days when you really need to look pulled together.
Loop’d & Hoop’d Jewelry (www.shoploho.com) offers modern jewelry sets that make the most of up-to-the-minute colors and materials. Here you’ll find bold, graphic designs and trendy creations that redefine the matched set. Worn with a simple backdrop of clothing, these statement pieces can make for some stunning outfits.
Modern earring necklace sets are also a great value. It’s usually less expensive to buy pieces as a set than to purchase them individually. So, don’t be afraid to split up a set and wear each piece with other baubles in your jewelry box.
Loop’d & Hoop’d earring sets come with an option to choose a non-pierced format or pierced for most styles. This is great news for those women who prefer or can only wear clip-ons. These are not your grandmother’s clip-on earrings, though. The company’s on-trend non-pierced earring styles use a revolutionary spring mechanism called a “hoop-on” that’s comfortable and secure. The best part? No one will know they’re not pierced.
There’s never been a better time to add a modern earring necklace set to your collection. Check out the possibilities at www.shoploho.com.
