How to Accessorize a Bateau

Lulu Frost Tassle Necklace

You might not think this dress needs a necklace, but don't be afraid to play up a classic neckline with a few long, layered strands.

Something Bleu Paramount D’Orsays 

For a more sophisticated spin, stick with shoes in a hue a shade or two darker than the dress (too matchy-matchy will look all wrong), which will complete the head-to-toe look.

Pinched Brocade Clutch

There are certain dresses that don't need a ton of jewels. Between the high neckline and the pattern on this number, too much sparkle (necklace+bracelet+earrings) could actually take away from its natural elegance. Play up the glitz by working a fun and unexpected accessory into the ensemble like this mini metallic clutch with pretty stone clasps.
