Keep your wardrobe ready for that impromptu dinner date, business meeting or simply a get together with friends, with fashion accessories that stand out from the crowd for all the right reasons.
Have you ever wondered why most people prefer to live their lives void of any fashion accessories? Fact is, most people cannot choose items that are appropriate for their outfits or fit for an occasion.
For some, shopping online or in stores can be an overwhelming experience. It is little wonder that there are individuals walking on the streets with grossly unsuitable accessories, some of which should have not have been designed in the first place.
True, accessorising your wardrobe is a matter of personal choice and taste, but being a slave to fashion will grab people’s attention for all the wrong reasons.
It is not just about how stylish and fashionable an item is. It is about how you look when cladding that fashion accessory.
No matter how experienced and informed you are in the latest trends, the bottom line in your choice of accessories is how other people appreciate what you choose.
The impact of a piece is in how it appeals to those who see you wearing it. Ideally, a fashion accessory should help compliment the impression and look of your clothes. The item should boldly reflect your personality. It should add a spark in your attitude while completing your look.
The colours, feel, texture and style of your outfit should be the guidelines of your choice of item. So, reflect on the shades in your wardrobe and your frequent dressing style. Also coordinate with the fabric and textures of your clothing.
Accessories are influenced by current trends, fads and whims, but that does not mean you should be a slave to all trends.
While maintaining a calm control of what you believe suits you, and what does not, keep up with the trends through fashion magazines or blogs.
Find accessories that will work with more than one outfit to stretch your budget. For instance, look for neutral-coloured items such as hats, scarves, bags, gloves, and jewellery so you can wear these with a number of outfits.
Colours that usually go great with a variety of patterns include plain tan, white, blue, green, red, and black.
You can get great ideas on how to combine colours, fabrics, and patterns for a great outfit.
Strive to purchase a signature piece that completely and conclusively accessorises your outfits. It might be a silk scarf, jewellery or shoes but whatever you choose, it should decisively state who you are.
Pick a particular theme that works well with your taste and preferences and that harmoniously blends with your clothes and use it to choose accessories.
Be sure to wear a variety of pieces; do not wear the same necklace with every outfit or the same scarf with every suit. Mix and match so your outfits will always be appealing and interesting.
