Accessories are an essential part of any wardrobe. They help to express your style, emphasise your personality and add zest to your look.
Accessories are diverse and include many items that complement our image: jewellery (earrings, bracelets, rings, necklaces, brooches), hats and scarves (hats, berets, caps, scarves, scarves, scarves, scarves), bags and backpacks, watches and belts, glasses and hair accessories. The right accessories can transform even the simplest outfit, make it more interesting and complete.
Why are accessories important?
Accessories play an important role in creating a complete and harmonious image. With their help you can show your character, mood, preferences and taste. Properly chosen accessories create an accent on a certain part of the body or elements of clothing. They can change the character of the whole outfit, making it more formal or, conversely, casual. Accessories help to accentuate the strengths of the figure and hide flaws, as well as to follow current fashion trends without a complete wardrobe change.
How to choose the right accessories?
Accessorising is a real art, which, however, can be learnt by following a few rules:
- Consider the style and occasion. For a business casual look, go for minimalist accessories such as minimalist jewellery, leather belts and classic handbags. For a casual look you can choose brighter and bolder accessories, massive jewellery, hats or bright scarves. For evening outings are suitable spectacular jewellery with sequins or stones, elegant clutches and dressy shoes.
- Pay attention to the type of figure. Accessories help to emphasise the advantages and hide the flaws of the figure. For example, long necklaces visually elongate the silhouette, and massive earrings accentuate the face and neck.
- Choose accessories according to the type of appearance. They should be in harmony with your colour type and emphasise your natural features. For example, people with a cold type of appearance will suit accessories in silver, and warm type – in gold. Coloured accessories should be chosen so that they emphasise the colour of your eyes or skin.
- Do not overload the image with too many accessories. It is better to choose a few bright accents than to wear everything at once.
- Combine accessories with each other. They should harmonise not only with the clothes, but also with each other. For example, if you have chosen a gold necklace, the rest of the accessories are also better to pick up in gold colours.
Accessories and style
For classic style, minimalistic accessories are suitable: thin bracelets, stud earrings, leather belts and bags with strict shapes. Choose neutral colours – black, white, beige, navy blue.
In everyday fashion, you can be more creative. More daring jewellery, bright scarves and bags, hats and caps, massive rings and bracelets are appropriate here.
In bohemian style you can combine several bright accessories – massive rings, long pendants, wicker bags, wide hats, jewellery with ethnic motifs.
For an evening look, more luxurious and spectacular accessories are suitable – jewellery with stones, clutches with sequins, elegant watches.
Always think about the outfit in advance, what accessories will suit your outfit and what accent you want to make, so that you do not miss with the choice. And remember that accessories are a powerful tool to express your own uniqueness.
