Elevating your accessories can significantly enhance your overall style and outfit. Here are seven ways to achieve this:
1. Balance and Proportion
Choose accessories that complement your outfit without overwhelming it. For example, a plain outfit can be elevated with statement pieces, but you might want to opt for simpler accessories with a bold, patterned outfit. It is all about balance!
2. Occasion and Functionality
Consider the occasion you are accessorising for. Are you having a casual outing, a business meeting, or going to a formal event? Your accessories should match your occasion. And don’t forget functionality! A stylish handbag that doesn’t work with your occasion is not going to be very useful!
3. Colour Coordination
Use accessories to add a pop of colour or to tie your look together. They should either match or complement your outfit. For example, a brightly coloured handbag can add a vibrant touch to a monochrome outfit. Or burgundy shoes can tie together a patterned floral dress that has a hint of burgundy in it.
4. Personal Style
Always reflect your unique style. Whether you love boho, classic, or edgy looks, your accessories should showcase your personality. Don’t be afraid to experiment with new trends, but always stay true to what feels right for you.
5. Quality over Quantity
When it comes to accessories, quality over quantity is key. Investing in a few high quality pieces can make a huge difference. Look for timeless items that will stand the test of time and enhance your wardrobe.
6. Mixing Metals and Textures
Feel free to mix metals and textures for a modern, eclectic look. Combining gold and silver, or leather and metal, can create a rich layered effect that adds depth to your style.
7. Signature Pieces
Last but not least, let’s talk about your signature pieces. These are the accessories that define your style. Whether its a statement necklace, a favourite scarf, or a classic watch, build a collection of go-to accessories that you love and that make you feel fabulous.
Remember, accessorising is all about expressing yourself and having fun with fashion!
