Whether you\u2019re pinning a quirky vintage brooch to your blazer or layering rings on every finger, jewellery is the most transformative thing you can wear \u2013 according to the late Iris Apfel, anyway. <\/p>\n
\n From cuffs to curated earring stacks, pocket-sized pieces not only elevate an outfit, but personalise it
\n too. The right additions can take your clothes from the daytime office to evening dinner and show your unique taste.\n <\/p>\n
For your next night out, consider what you want your jewellery to say: a playful pendant, for example, might become the perfect icebreaker. Edgier, alternative pieces can convey your interests with just a glance. While our picks below are all intended to make a statement, how loud you want to be is, of course, up to you. <\/p>\n
