How to Wear Jewellery with a Formal Suit Without Looking Overdressed

Formal suits are a timeless and powerful choice for Indian women, whether for corporate meetings, business conferences, or networking events. But adding the right jewellery to a formal suit can be tricky—too little might make your look dull, while too much can feel over-the-top. The key is subtle accessorizing to enhance your look without overpowering it.

At Rubans, we believe jewellery should be a reflection of confidence, elegance, and personal style. With our Lux Collections, you can add the perfect finishing touch to your corporate attire without looking overdressed.

Here’s a complete guide on how to wear jewellery with a formal suit like a pro.

1. Choosing the Right Earrings for a Formal Suit

Earrings are a great way to add elegance to your look without going overboard. The trick is to choose a pair that complements your suit’s neckline and color while maintaining a professional appearance.

Best Earrings for Workwear Suits:

• Minimalist Studs: Timeless and elegant, pearl studs, diamond studs, or sleek metal studs are perfect for corporate wear jewellery.
• Small Hoops: Thin gold or silver hoops add just the right amount of charm without looking flashy.
• Drop Earrings: If you prefer a little more movement, go for sleek geometric or pearl drop earrings from the Rubans Lux Collection.

Avoid:

❌ Heavy chandelier earrings or oversized hoops, as they can overpower your formal look.

Rubans Pick: Try gold-plated pearl stud earrings from our Lux Collections for effortless sophistication.

2. Necklaces: Less is More

A formal suit, especially one with a structured blazer, doesn’t always need a necklace. However, a dainty piece can add finesse to your ensemble.

Best Necklace Styles for Formal Wear:

• Delicate Chains: Opt for thin gold or silver chains with small pendants for a refined look.
• Pearl or Diamond Pendant: A single pearl pendant necklace exudes grace and pairs beautifully with solid-colored suits.
• Layered Chains: If your suit has a deep V-neck or open blazer, try subtle layered necklaces for an elegant statement.

Avoid:

❌ Heavy chokers or chunky statement necklaces that can clash with structured blazers.

Rubans Pick: Check out our gold-plated dainty necklaces for a polished corporate look.

3. Rings: The Power Accessory

A ring is a small yet powerful accessory that can elevate your workwear effortlessly. It’s a perfect way to make a statement while keeping things professional.

Best Ring Styles for Workwear:

• Classic Solitaire Ring: A single diamond or cubic zirconia solitaire ring exudes sophistication.
• Stackable Bands: Thin gold or silver bands can be stacked for a chic, modern look.
• Minimalist Statement Rings: Go for sleek designs with geometric or pearl embellishments.

Avoid:

❌ Oversized cocktail rings with heavy stones or intricate designs

Rubans Pick: Our sleek cubic zirconia rings from the Lux Collection offer elegance with a professional touch.

4. Bracelets and Bangles: Subtle & Stylish

Bracelets and bangles can add a refined touch to your suit, but the trick is to keep them delicate and understated.

Best Bracelet Styles for Office Wear:

• Slim Cuff Bracelets: A thin metal cuff bracelet adds a modern, sleek touch without being distracting.
• Charm Bracelets: A single charm bracelet with a small pendant can add personality to your look.
• Tennis Bracelets: A subtle diamond or zirconia bracelet pairs well with business suits.

Avoid:

❌ Heavy bangles or multiple stacked bracelets that create noise and look too festive.

Rubans Pick: Opt for our minimalist gold-plated cuff bracelet for a refined touch.

5. Brooches: A Unique Power Dressing Accessory

A brooch is a vintage yet powerful accessory that can instantly elevate a plain suit. Whether pinned to your blazer lapel or the side of your suit, it adds character to your outfit.

Best Brooch Styles for Workwear:

• Pearl Brooches: Elegant and timeless, perfect for monochrome suits.
• Floral or Geometric Designs: Adds a touch of creativity while keeping the look professional.
• Minimalist Metal Brooches: Simple yet sophisticated designs in gold or silver are always a safe bet.

Rubans Pick: Try our pearl-embellished brooches from the Lux Collection for a chic corporate look.

6. Watches: The Ultimate Office Jewellery

A watch is more than a timepiece; it’s a statement of professionalism. When paired with the right jewellery, it completes your corporate look.

Best Watches for Office Wear:

• Slim Leather Strap Watches: Classic and elegant for daily office wear.
• Metal Strap Watches: Gold or silver watches add sophistication.
• Minimalist Dial Watches: Simple designs with small dials keep the look polished.

Rubans Pick: Pair your formal suit with our minimalist bracelet watch for a refined look.

Final Styling Tips for Wearing Jewellery with a Formal Suit

✔️ Balance is Key: If you’re wearing bold earrings, keep the necklace minimal and vice versa. 
✔️ Stick to One Metal: Mixing too many metals (gold, silver, rose gold) can look uncoordinated. 
✔️ Match Jewellery with Suit Color:

• Gold jewellery: Best for beige, black, navy, or brown suits.
• Silver jewellery: Pairs well with grey, blue, and pastels.

✔️ Minimalist Approach Wins: Choose one or two key jewellery pieces rather than over-accessorizing.
