How to Wear Turquoise Jewelry and Look Modern?

Turquoise has a strange, magical color – that’s clear. Its indescribable blueish, greenish hues, (sometimes with webbing, sometimes without) are simply fascinating. Sadly, for many of us, these stones can have the connotation of times long passed, and not in a good way. Cher, Woodstock, Jimmy Hendrix – not everyone wants to accidentally outdate their outfits!

So, how to wear turquoise jewelry and look modern? Here’s what we suggest:

1. Choose Discrete Pieces

If your style is simple but stylish, you can always opt for discrete turquoise jewelry. Minimalist, sharp, and striking, a delicate piece paired with a classic style can elevate your outfit. You could try throwing on a necklace with a small, simple turquoise stone on jeans and shirt outfit, or a delicate ring with a hint of turquoise when you’re going to the office.

2. Try Pairing It With a Gown

For a bolder choice, you can pair up a statement turquoise piece with a gown. Avoid combining your turquoise jewelry pieces with your gown, instead, pick a minimalist dress and add an extra oomph factor with a statement turquoise necklace or oversized earrings. You can always find a good example among celebrities. For example, Sofia Vergara strutted the 2014 Golden Globes in a simple little black dress which she elevated with a large turquoise necklace.

3. Don’t Be Afraid of Contrasting Colors

Sometimes matching colors gets boring. Beiges upon beiges or a perfectly coordinated cupcake pink is not the only choice you can make if you want to look all dolled up. For a bolder look, pair your turquoise with a contrasting color. A turquoise necklace with a purple top, a pair of statement earrings with a coral dress, or even try matching the clear blues with a neon-yellow outfit; all of these outfit combinations can make you look not only modern but on the peak of trends.

4. Pair Turquoise With More Neutral Colors

If such boldness is not really your style, you can pair the green-blue stone with more neutral colors. If you feel like you wore your classic camel coat one too many times and it’s begun to feel boring and monotone, brining turquoise into the mix is the perfect refreshment. Pairing statement turquoise pieces with your classic looks (for example, slacks and a white shirt or some of those hues of beige you have in your closet), can refresh and modernize your outfit.

5. Mix Up Your Black, White, and Denim

Just like the classics, you may get tired of your monochrome outfits, too. Luckily, turquoise is here to give you a pop of color and energize the whole outfit. If you’re wearing black, white, or denim, throw some turquoise on and give your outfit some edge. Just be careful here, because pairing a lot of turquoise with too much denim can have the opposite effect.

6. Going Boho is Always a Good Choice

A laid-back, fashionable boho style of outfit pairs extremely well with turquoise. You do need to be careful not to go overboard, though. You can achieve the boho style simply by pairing some turquoise pieces with a more simple outfit, like skinny jeans and a pair of leather fringed boots. You’ll get that boho queen vibe without looking like you’re wearing a costume.
