PGI Gets Fashion Advice from Nina Garcia

(IDEX Online News) – In her capacity as current style guru for Platinum Guild International (PGI), fashion expert Nina Garcia has shared her tips for accessorizing appropriately for New Year’s Eve parties – wearing platinum, of course.  

For a formal dress code, Garcia says women should make a statement with one major piece of jewelry to draw attention to your face shape, neck or arm. “Linear diamond drop earrings, a large cuff bracelet with a geometric design, or a tassel necklace set in platinum adds a dramatic effect to any gown.”

For accessorizing a little black dress, Garcia urges wearers to add a little color with their jewelry, especially by opting for hues of Radiant Orchid, the Pantone Color of the Year. “Or, choose the symbolic holiday hues red and green. Ruby and emeralds set in platinum will add warmth to your black dress,” she says.

Even when keeping it really simple and wearing just jeans and a blouse, Garcia tells women that they should not skip their jewels. “I would suggest keeping your accessories simple and modern. Pendants with fun shapes including bows or snowflakes, and stackable rings and bangles with colored gemstones will spice up to your outfit.”

Finally, Garcia says that there is no reason to forego white during the winter. “I’m a big fan of accessorizing with white diamonds and pearls when set in a vintage inspired design, especially on a snowy New Year’s Eve. Whether it’s a pair of platinum studs or a cocktail ring, you will look timeless and sophisticated.”
