16 Jewellery Staples That Will Elevate Any Outfit

We all need those fail-safe buys that form the backbone of our wardrobes (aka pieces that can be thrown on at a moment's notice and adapt to any sartorial scenario). In our experience, the same principle applies to our jewellery collections. While those spangled, statement pieces will always have a special place in our hearts, they're not necessarily what we want to be wearing when it comes to a lingering weekend brunch or a casual coffee with friends. There are a handful of brands that the Who What Wear team go to for our everyday jewellery needs, but at the top of the list is Missoma.

Style Notes: A delicate bracelet, signet ring and layered pendants offer plenty of Parisian appeal and will add that extra something to a simple V-neck top.

From mini hoops and pendants to short chains and huggies, we've seen so many of our favourite influencers wearing the brand's delicate pieces. You wouldn't necessarily notice them straight away, but they're the sort of subtle staples that go with everything you own and offer just the right amount of metallic appeal to help elevate wardrobe basics.

Our favourite pieces include Lucy Williams's line of pendant necklaces, which we've been wearing with crew-neck knits and sitting underneath silk shirts. You also can't go wrong with a pair of classic gold hoops for adorning a winter dress or adding elegance to a structured blazer. Or for extra impact, try layering up your favourite pieces. The key is to mix up chain lengths and thicknesses for a textured finish. If Lucy loves it, then who are we to argue?

Style Notes: Layered-up pendant necklaces are an ideal match for a tucked-in silk shirt and high-waisted jeans.

Style Notes: Not sure what to wear with your slip dress? Oversized gold hoops and chain necklace will do the trick.
