From Day to Night: How to Style Your Jewellery for Party Season

Party season is officially here, and with Christmas drinks, dinners and office parties filling up the diary, there isn't always time for a full outfit change.

Luckily, your jewellery can do a lot of the work for you. We're big believers that your everyday pieces don't need to come off when the sun goes down. Instead, build on what you're already wearing - layer up your necklaces, add to your stack or swap your everyday hoops for something with a little more impact!

Because sometimes all it takes to go from desk to drinks is a bigger hoop.

Here's how we're taking our everyday jewellery from day to night this party season.

Start with your everyday stack

First things first, don't overthink it.

The pieces you wear every day are the perfect starting point. Keep your Nap Stacks in, leave on the necklace you haven't taken off for the last three weeks and use your everyday jewellery as the base for your evening look.

Taking your jewellery from day to night doesn't mean starting again - it's all about what you add.

The easiest switch? Your hoops

Sometimes, bigger really is better.

If you're heading straight from work to Christmas drinks, switching your everyday Huggies for a larger hoop is probably the quickest way to make your jewellery feel ready for the evening.

The Tate Hoops are our biggest hoops yet - lightweight enough to wear all day, but with enough impact to do the heavy lifting when it comes to your evening look.

Or, for the ultimate lazy girl day-to-night hack, try The Piha T-Bar Hoops. Wear them as simple gold hoops during the day, then add the removable T-bars before heading out. Two looks, one pair of earrings - and no jewellery box required.

And if you're wearing your hair up, even better. Let the hoops have their moment.

Keep the Nap Stack, add the drama

Good news for anyone who spent far too long getting their flat backs in - we're not asking you to take them out.

Your Nap Stack can stay exactly where it is. Instead, use it as the base of your evening ear stack and add something with a little more impact to your first lobe.

Pair your everyday flat backs with a larger hoop, or add a little movement with The Droplet Huggies. The trick is to let one piece be the star and allow the rest of your stack to do its thing in the background.

Minimal effort, maximum impact. Our favourite kind of styling.

Layer up your necklaces

If one necklace works for the office, why not make it two for the Christmas party?

Adding another chain is one of the easiest ways to make an everyday necklace feel more styled. Play with different chain lengths and textures so each piece has its own space rather than sitting directly on top of each other.

If you're starting with something simple like The Milan Snake Chain, try adding a pendant or a chunkier chain for the evening. The Piha T-Bar Curb Necklace is perfect for adding a little more weight and texture to a stack, while a pendant can give you a focal point.

And if there was ever a time to add one more layer, it's December.

Don't forget your wrists and fingers

Your ears and necklaces tend to get all the attention, but adding to your wrist and ring stack is another easy way to make an everyday look feel more dressed up.

Layer your everyday bracelet with something like The Siena Bracelet, or add a couple more rings around your Pinky Promise Ring. You don't need to change what you're already wearing - just build around it.

From desk to drinks

The best party jewellery isn't something that only comes out once a year.

Start with the pieces you already love and build from there. Add the T-bar, switch the hoop, layer another necklace or stack another ring. A few small changes can take the jewellery you wore at your desk straight through to dinner, drinks and wherever the night ends up.

No full outfit change. No emergency jewellery bag. Just your everyday stack, with a little extra.
