Ten Tips For Looking Chic With Accessories

Ten Tips For Looking Chic With Accessories

Accessories can be a great way to add a touch of flair to any outfit. From earrings to handbags, they can help you express your personal style and show off your individual fashion sense. But wearing accessories incorrectly can be a fashion disaster. Here are 10 tips for looking chic with accessories and making the most of your accessories wardrobe.

Accessories make an outfit. They can turn a boring ensemble into something fabulous and fashionable, or can make the latest fashion look dated or trashy. Don’t know how to wear your accessories? Have far too many accessories but don’t know what to do with them? Like the look of what you see in stores and online but not sure what to choose?

Here are some tips for using accessories.

Add a Statement Necklace

Adding a necklace to an outfit can be the easiest and simplest way to lift your style. Over a plain black t-shirt, a feature necklace with a pendant on a longer chain creates an eye-catching focus. A shorter necklace on skin, such as a choker, will bring the eye's attention to your neck and shoulders.

Tie on a scarf

Scarves are so versatile and come in any color and design you can imagine. They can add a pop of color and pattern to an all black outfit. Try matching the color of your scarf to your eyes, hair accessories, or other colors on you clothing.  Scarves can be worn loose around the shoulders, tied in an open loop around the neck, knotted to the side, or even on the strap of your handbag. Scarves do so much more than keep your neck warm, they can bring all the colors of the outfit together.

Wear a hat

Hats are tricky – not everyone can wear them. Try hats on in store and see which designs suit you best before buying any. If you find larger hats are not your style, go for a steampunk fascinator. These are smaller hair pieces which are adorned with feathers and jewels to wear with an up-do. You will feel sophisticated!

Add Bracelets

Bracelets should be worn layered. Try stacking 3-10 on one wrist. It is easy to buy them in themed packs of three. Often they will come in similar designs in varying colours, and you can mix and match them together.  Bracelets add colour and sound and are a traditional piece of jewelry in many countries.

Rings

There are two types of rings: costume jewelry and more expensive lifetime pieces. If you are a costume jewelry girl, you can go crazy with rings! Stock up on any style from bold, skull rings to simple metal bands. You can never get enough and you can change them as often as you like.

For those special rings, (engagement, wedding and eternity rings, heirloom family rings, etc) treasure them. Give them the space they deserve and pride of place on your fingers.

Keep the two separate, costume jewelry can be confusing alongside more significant pieces. But most of all, have fun with rings. Choose large, bright stones for a dramatic glamorous look; or bold metallic pieces for an edgy steampunk look.

Earrings

Earrings are always in fashion but popularity of styles changes often. Dragons, cats, and other designs which curl up around the top of the ear are a fun twist on the classic hoops and studs. Women with short hair should try wearing a bolder earring to call more attention to the face.

Layering accessories

Wear multiple accessories when you are sure of yourself. Try two or three necklaces. One bold design accompanied by two plain or smaller chains will emphasise your look without overloading your outfit. Multiple rings and bracelets are easy, and add a sense of fun and confidence to your style.

Socks and tights

Color coordinate or contrast your look with leggings, tights and stockings to make you stand out from the crowd. Various celebrities have been spotted out and about with this look. Leggings are fun, comfortable, and casual. 

Gloves

Short leather gloves are so easy to do right and instantly add sophistication to your outfit. They also come in gorgeously soft leathers that are simply amazing to wear. Longer gloves can lend an air of romance to your ensemble.

A feature Piece

If you would rather, try one feature item like a bold necklace, a large ring, or a belt with a large buckle that stands out and ties your outfit together.
