Accessories play a big part in the overall look and feel of an outfit. When combined with the right style and when used properly, they can make a woman stand out in a crowd. Here are some tips and tricks in styling with accessories.
Don’t over-accessorize
Large pieces such as bangles and necklaces help make a statement, but never use them all at once. There should be no more than three or four of them in one attire. Too much of them can ruin your whole look.
Pick colors wisely
Colors are a primary concern when accessorizing. Don’t use accessories with the same color as your outfit. For instance, if you are wearing a white or red clothing, don’t use a necklace or bag of the same color. Learn about primary and secondary colors. They are analogous, meaning they would suit well together when matched in the same proportion of lightness and darkness.
Stick to a theme
There must always be harmony when styling with accessories. They are worn to match and complete the look, not to distract. Deciding on a theme helps you achieve harmony. A theme could be as simple as “boho” or “surfer girl,” or something specific, depending on the event or place you are going. This should help you decide on what pieces to wear.
Pick the right bag
The old gold rule about matching your bag with your shoes can be followed or simply defied. You can take this advice in terms of color. Pick a bag or clutch that is exactly the same color as your shoes or simply achieve contrast like in the case of a very bright shoe and a light-tone bag.
You can also combine your bag with earrings or bracelets. For instance, a small red clutch will look great with red earrings and black dress. A bag with silver handle should look perfect with a nice silver bracelet. You can find stylish bags in online fashion stores such as Ka-pok.
It is fine to play with style, experiment, and express your personality through accents. But if your goal is to look stylish and well-dressed, follow these simple tricks to make your plain attire in a stunning ensemble.
