Ways To Accessorise Your Look Like A Professional
Fashion takes no prisoners. Remember sweater vests and baby doll dresses? No? It’s probably for the best. The trends of yesterday are the faux pas of today.
Each season brings with it a fresh set of colours, palettes and stylings that reflect the time of year from athleisure wear to haute couture to normcore and more.
When putting together an outfit, make yourself shine with a strong colour palette, play with textures, and think about the mood you want to evoke. No matter what the outfit, give it an added flash of extra by accessorising.
Don’t know where to start? Try self-made accessories. By using the proper tools, you can easily make your own accessories. Check out these DIY styling tips to get you accessorised and looking fab.
The right Season to Accessorise
Fashion accessories work best when they bring an added touch to an outfit, complementing your style and dress.
Traditional accessories include bags, blazers, earrings, jackets, scarves, and adornments like jewellery, hats and even fans.
These days iPhone covers and headphones are considered fashion statements. When considering the right accessory for the outfit, think about how you want to present yourself, what kind of occasion is it, what time of year is it.
For black tie occasions, you’ll want to dress to impress with subtle elegance. Adding some jewellery is always a must – perhaps a statement necklace dripping with diamonds, or teardrop earrings to frame your face.
How will you wear your hair? Depending on the season, you’ll want to accessorise with care.
For instance, summer accessories call for sunglasses, hats and vibrant sunny jewellery. Winter calls for thick scarves and gloves and killer boots.
Pair Your Outfit with Unique Fresh Finds
Looking for that unique, just right piece to take your outfit from ordinary to extraordinary?
Sometimes, thinking out of the box will provide the perfect solution. Why not look in charity shops and second hand stores?
Often these types of shop will have one-of-a-kind pieces that no one else will have.
Plus they won’t break the bank. If you want to go even more original, think about making your own accessories.
You can easily craft jewellery like bracelets and necklaces with a few easy to understand tutorials.
Or if you’re really into fashion, consider making your own accessories. Sewing your own accessories is easy – you can make everything from scarves, to gloves and hats.
Get creative and make your own outfits and maybe even create an original tote bag to go with your outfit.
Accessorising is fun, and a great way to make your outfit a statement piece. It can bring your look to the next level without being too over the top.
Being subtle or mixing and matching can have great results that will have even the most stylish fashionistas asking for your style secrets.
