When she’s not working with big names like Lupita Nyong’o, Constance Wu, and Diane Kruger or writing a best-selling book, celebrity stylist Micaela Erlanger divulges her fashion expertise in our Ask a Stylist column. From the best places to source vintage to the secret to finding your most flattering jeans, come back each week for a professional’s perspective.
Accessorizing with costume jewellery is one of the best styling tricks in the book. Throw on a pair of crystal chandelier-style earrings, and your outfit instantly looks 10 times cooler. Wear a stack of colourful bracelets, and your basic look is suddenly ready for an Instagram. The easy add-on never fails. OK, I take that back. There’s one detail that can quickly take your costume-jewellery moment from covetable to, well, not. With coloured stones, if the foil backing is exposed, this can make your jewellery look cheaper. You want to find pieces that look clear and sparkly rather than dull and obvious from the inexpensive foiling. BaubleBar and Swarovski are two of my go-to brands for affordable costume jewellery that doesn’t look the slightest bit cheap. Shop my favourite non-foil-backed earrings, necklaces, rings, and more below.
