Reader's Request
This request is from my sweet and supportive sister-in-law (husband's cousin) - Soomya! She is a complete fashion fanatic and a recent (proud!) Graduate of London College of Fashion. Recently, in one of London's Vintage shops she got her hands on some Vintage Chanel Pearl Strings (lucky girl!) and asked me if I could show her some ways to style them in contemporary and modern ways. Well, since I do not have any Chanel or otherwise pearls of my own I had to take help of some fashion collages. N.B. To find details of any of the products featured in the collages, simply click on them. They are connected to their online retail site.
This would be my take on styling the pearls for a Lunch, may be? Paired with a summery white dress worn with a belt and splashes of red!
Here I plan to wear the gorgeous [preferably Chanel! :P] pearls with a bright pink dress and edgy high heels for an evening date or dinner or maybe both!
This is more of a casual way to wear the pearls with a flared dark denims and crisp white shirt and a tan bag. Ideal for shopping, or coffee?
Skinny Black pants with a flattering pink top and high heels. More of a classic evening-out look finished with a dash of pearls! What say? :)
This is out and out edgy slash rockstar look with color-blocked dress and even edgier booties. However, here I mixed so-to-say my pearls with some metal chains to give it a 'Rihanna' take!
How do you all wear your pearls?
Hope this post helps you Soomya! Do let us all know, how you finally decided to wear them. We would wanna see those Chanel pearls for sure! :)

the fourth set has to be my fave :) lovely post Tanvi
ReplyDeleteMy fav would be the first look.classy and elegant :)
ReplyDeletelove the classy evening out look! :)
ReplyDeleteIn a totally traditional Indian setting many times pearls look gorgeous on sarees too!
I love all your ideas! I think I am very boring when it comes to pearls, I normally wear them with pale pink/lace/otherwise girly outfits. What a great idea to wear them with a silk top and skinny black trousers. I will definitely try that! :)
ReplyDelete♥ Leia
love the pink top look...and agree with Yamini, sarees!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas and impressive selection.
ReplyDeleteFantastic post! I've never had he courage to wear pearls- only when i was a bridesmaid, but you have put together some wonderful options. Now, if only i could afford some Chanel ones...
ReplyDeleteI really like the first one. Classy!
ReplyDeletenice tips, i am not too fond of pearls though.
ReplyDeletei have a white pearl string and i love to wear them with knee length dresses and jeans -top but tops are generally in light shades..
ReplyDeletehave thought of mixing em with some bright colors but never dare to do it till this time.
1st and 4th are the one i like most.
I love the rockstar look the best. I don't wear pearls at all..they don't suit me at all..not in terms of looks but everytime I wear pearls, real ones something bad happens. I am pretty superstitious like that so goodbye pearls it was!
ReplyDeleteAft seeing this post.. i really dont know why i never tried wearing pearls! i love all the looks...
ReplyDeleteLoving the last look! I have a hard time wearing pearl necklaces casually. Earrings are fine but necklaces are hard to pull off. These tips are awesome :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips! The fourth one is my personal fave :) The only time I wore pearl was on my wedding day and now its stacked away in some unknown corner of my closet..Maybe its time to dust it and make use of it :)
ReplyDeleteLove ur posts..Specially this one as I love pearls.I wear my pearls with diamonds all the time in a platinum chain and believe me...they look heavenly.They go well will all the outfits.
ReplyDeleteKeep posting and inspiring us.

Love the suggestions! I usually wear my purple/grey or pink pearls more casually, but save the white pearls for a more formal look. However, I really love the idea of wearing them over a multi-chain necklace!
ReplyDeleteI wish my pearls were Chanel, too!
Cute ideas! They're all really classy:)

I love pearls! I think they are so elegant and classic and can instantly change your look! I wear pearls all the time!!
ReplyDelete<3
May be you need to also write 'How to BUY good pearls?' .....from China..cheaper.
ReplyDeleteI love pearls and I think they can be worn with anything - they are just so classy! I love both the jeans outfits!
ReplyDeletewhen it comes to jwellery, im a total pearls person, have single strand pearls necklace , double strand pearls necklace, pearls necklace with pendant set..you name it!!!
ReplyDeletei have worn them in many ways, but my favorite is the classic chiffon sari, heels and double strand pearls necklace combo!!
and while on wearing them in different ways, one elderly elegant lady comes to my mind..i used to spot her ofetn during my evening jogs in lodhi garden..she used always come on her walks there wearing crisp white collar tee, grey/pastel sweat and double strand pearls necklace, combined with her elegant all white hair, she used to look a total maharani on a walk amongst us lesser beings!!!
Fabulous looks, I like the first and the last. And I wear pearls with EVERYTHING.

I don't have any pearls but would love to get some. I love that last dress. i wonder how pearls would look with a plain grey or black t shirt for a casual outfit though.

Ooh that reminds me I haven't worn my pearls for ages! With all the statement jewellery out there they've been abandoned.
ReplyDeleteI use to wear almost daily my pearl earrings that I got from my mother, and match them ... to all :-)
ReplyDeleteLike the third set with the buttom bell jeans!
Oh I LOVE pearls!! They make every outfit look so classy.
ReplyDeleteI usually wear them with dresses or wear 2-3 coloured [fake] pearls with jeans. :)
i wear my pearls in all sorts of ways !
ReplyDeletefrom elegant to rocker style as well :)

i don't wear pearls, but you just might have inspired me to try some out!
ReplyDeleteGreat suggestions! I haven't worn pearls in so long, just because I don't really know how I'd style them!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

ReplyDeleteI love to rock them with a tee and distressed boyfriend jeans. I'm all about fashion contradictions!
ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteThe other day (for like an hour. lol things happen when you have a baby.) I wore majorly ripped skinny jeans with a man's white V neck T and my chain of long pearls and beads.

pearls can be worn in so many ways as you have shown!!!!! love the last look the best - edgy, fun adn young!
ReplyDeleteI would wear them like your last style board. That one is my favourite. Xxxx
ReplyDeleteHey my beauty,i like your choices and the way u combine them with each outfit!When i wear white pearls i like to be let's say elegant,with some skirt or dress,really nice shoes,maybe even leopard ones to be bit edgier...what i prefer is to wear pearls in the other colors,for example black!:)

Hey Tanvi,
ReplyDeleteThese are mind blowing combinations...
The traditional pearls get such a contemporary and classic look that would never go wrong!
Like you never do:-)
Great suggestions! I haven't worn my pearls since my wedding, it's such a shame!
ReplyDeleteI adore Pearls, but I prefer to wear antique pearls - rather than the modern pearls. I'm so in love with the unusual colour of the antique pearls. XX
ReplyDeleteI just recently started experimenting with wearing pearls more casually. These are great tips! My favorite is the rockstar look. I love it!

OMG, pearls! My favorite!! I bought fake pearls for my first job interview and wore them with a skirt suit. Then my mom gave me a great string of pearls when I finished the Ph.D. (always get them properly strung with knots between each pearl) and I wear those with dressier outfits. I have purple pearls on a black leather string that are rather edgy and go with jeans, etc. I have 2 sets of pink pearls that I twist together to make a dramatic chunky look. A string of black pearls adds a great touch to any outfit. I also have a cascading pearl necklace for a dramatic evening look. Finally, I have delicate rice pearls that can be worn casually or with work clothes--Whew! I did not even know I had so many pearls!
ReplyDeleteMeetu D
tanvi, i love the combination of the pearls and the outfits:)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading more of your stuff.
-Sarah Villaflor :)
Interesting mixes.
ReplyDeleteOne way I love wearing pearls is mixing it with coral The white against orange just gives a happy feel to it!
I usually don't wear pearls but if i were to wear them I would refer to this post :)
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! Pearls definitely don't have to be boring and ladylike. I have a long rope of faux pearls that I either tie in a knot or rope around twice sometimes with a brooch :)
