Sometimes we get obsessed with our clothes closet and forget about one of our most versatile styling tools – accessories! Since the Centre is filled with amazing jewellery options for updating your look – ranging from budget-friendly pieces to splurge-worthy styles – we decided to showcase four of our favourite looks for winter accessorizing. The blank canvas? The classic white tee of course, updated for the season with pretty princess seams and a flirty peplum. Take a look at how easy it can be to change up your style without ever changing your outfit!

The look: delicate + simple
As the ultimate finishing touch, jewellery can provide that perfect little bit of adornment to complement the softness and curve of a woman’s body. Thin strands of chain highlight the collarbone, dainty rings circle lean fingers, and simple studs show off the delicate curve of the ear. This look is quiet, yet confident. Look for classic pieces that are minimalist and unapologetically feminine.

The look: global + earthy
There’s a real appeal to taking style risks in small doses, and jewellery is a great place to do that. If you love rich, earthy colours, but don’t necessarily want to bring it into your entire outfit, choose relaxed tribal pieces to capture the ethnic vibe. Look for lots of beading, fun fringe, wood pieces, mixed metals, and layers to show off your free spirit.

The look: luxe + feminine
Girly-girl all the way! Nothing is more ultra-feminine than baubles with diamonds and pearls. And why should you have to pick just one? They’re even better together, for a look that’s posh all the way. Together, the shimmer of clear stones and luminescence of pearls adds a soft glow to your whole look. Look for luxurious, classic pieces that surpass the trends and last season after season.

The look: bold + edgy
The statement necklace has been around for a few seasons, but you can bump it up to a whole new level with sparkly layers that make an even stronger statement. Earrings with edge, bold cuff bracelets… this season’s crop of avant-garde designs scream life of the (holiday!) party, and even lets you get away with last year’s dress. Go for modern, cool pieces that speak to you – then put ‘em all on together!
