Smart/Casual - Costume jewellery and the trouser suit/dress. Avoid jeans & trainers: This is the perfect event to use costume jewellery to your advantage and really express your individuality! It's probably one of the most difficult events when deciding what to wear as anything goes (within reason!) and for this reason most women tend to play safe with a trusted trouser suit or dress. Go for jewels to add a splash of colour and give a new lease of life to an item you've worn many times; turquoise costume jewellery looks great and flatters most skin tones. A subtle brooch also looks great. Alternatively wear a cluster of brooches for an up-to-the-minute look. |

The important thing to remember is to have fun with your costume jewellery. If you feel good, you'll look good. We've seen a fair few people make mistakes when it comes to wearing costume jewellery but we've seen more people get it right! Yes, there are 'rules' and 'guidelines' to bear in mind but it doesn't mean you have to follow them religiously. When it comes to costume jewellery, sometimes (just sometimes) rules are made to be broken!
