Personal Style Tip #2 Traditional and Elegant Styles

Your personal style says a lot about you. Clothing, accessories, and jewelry (of particular importance as far as we're concerned), all contribute to your overall image. Continuing from last week, we are exploring several personal styles and images. The first style type we discussed last time was called Sporty. This time, the focus is on the next two categories which are Traditional and Elegant. 

Applegate's traditional style

The traditional image is typically conservative, favoring jewelry that ‘works at work’. In a professional situation, smaller earrings will be employed such as diamond or pearl studs or even petite hoops. Remember when we explored necklines another week? Well, this style type may tend towards jewel necklines and longer necklaces that extend beyond the top edge of the garment.

Cordova Birthstones

Matched jewelry sets are favorites in this image category. Our Cordova line for example, has matching earrings, bracelets, pendants, and rings in birthstones. 

John Hardy

Also on the conservative side is the style type classified as Elegant. Women who envision themselves as this type would be drawn to designer brands such as John Hardy and Simon G. and the classic timeless looks of diamonds and gemstones. Quality and superior design elements are sought after in this style category. 

The look is understated and gracefully refined. Pearls, of course, fit this category and would possibly be worn in several strands. Tahitian pearls are an exotically elegant choice.
