Making Your Style Sing with Accessories
Accessories are the trimmings to any good outfit feast, they enhance the experience, and add flavour while bringing the whole look together in a cohesive and visually interesting way. It’s not enough to stop at the top and bottom you’re wearing and think you’re done getting dressed. If you want to show the world who you are through your style, consider your look through fully, topping your clothing pieces with accessories that further tell the world that this is who you are and yes your style is fabulous! Playing with accessories is all a balancing game, so here are my top tips to help you make your style sing with accessories, check it out!
The Jewelry
Once I’ve determined my outfit for the day, I always like to head to jewelry next. When thinking about which jewelry to select there are a couple of things you want to consider, such as, what kind of neckline am I wearing? Is my hair up or down? What is the overall vibe of the look? While I don’t think there should be set rules for when you should or shouldn’t wear certain kinds of jewelry, these questions will help you better make these decisions for yourself. Statement earring or stud? Necklace or wrist stack? The possibilities are endless, so ask yourself some thoughtful questions about what your outfit goals are in any instance when you’re putting together your look.
The Bag
There are always so many options to choose from when it comes to the bag, whether it’s a backpack, boho bag, clutch, belt bag, micro bag, statement bag, or a bag as your pop of colour. The options are truly endless. So how do you narrow it down? I recommend thinking about where your day is taking you. Are you going to the office? Do you need a bag with extra space? Are you going out? What are you needing to carry? Once you answer these questions and determine the kind of bag you’ll need, take a look at your collection and decipher which ones fit the bill. Once you’ve further narrowed this down, which of these options compliments your outfit the best, without overpowering or pulling focus? That’s usually the one that is the best choice.
The Shoes
Arguably, this is the accessory that can make or break a look. Similar to Jewelry and Bags, you want to be thoughtful about the pieces that are making up your look, as well as where your day will be taking you so that you can make the best choices for your needs and your outfit’s needs. Questions you want to consider asking are what length bottoms am I wearing? What’s the vibe of the outfit? Where am I going in this look? How long will I be in these shoes? These questions will all better help you determine the kind of shoe you should be looking for. From there, you’ll be able to better determine the shoe that brings your look together while still saving you from sore feet by the end of the night.
