When you are starting to get sick of your day-to-day outfits, you don’t need to spend ridiculous amounts of money on an entirely new wardrobe. You will always need your wardrobe essentials that are meant to be there for a long time. Those grey jeans and white t-shirt are blank canvases that can be adapted. Think of them as blank canvases that are ready to be transformed by the right accessories. Fashion accessories are pieces that can complement the rest of your outfit, not only complementing the rest of your outfit but changing the base look. There are several different accessories to choose from and this article will point you in the direction of a couple.
Eyewear
Eyewear has become an essential accessory to anyone looking to change their style. Research has shown that 43 percent of people believe that glasses present them as smarter, whilst 36 percent think that glasses make them look more professional and business-like. Even more than this, 40 percent of people admitted that they would wear frames whether they need them or not. Glasses have transformed from something practical to help you see to an accessory that is sexy and changeable like a pair of shoes or earrings.
This isn’t limited to glasses either. Sunglasses are easy options to transform any outfit into a chic design. However, there is more to picking a pair than just choosing a nice color or shape. It has been suggested that people with a more oval face should look for bolder styles with frames that are wider than the broadest part of their face. Squarer faces should look for rounder frames that will soften your facial features whilst rounder features should look for angular and narrower frames to lengthen the face.
They may be a simple accessory, but they can bring another layer to your outfit. It is worth investing a little bit of time in working out which frames work for you and picking out a couple of different styles.
Footwear
You need to wear shoes every day. That shouldn’t stop them from being a useful fashion accessory. It is always useful to have neutral footwear options in your collection like white trainers or brown boots. However, you should look at statement footwear that can elevate some of your looks. They should be fun and comfortable though otherwise, you will never wear them.
Never think that your shoes cannot be the main focal point for your outfit. A new pair of kicks can be color-coordinated with the rest of your outfit. Keeping your outfit muted and having bolder shoes can be sure to attract attention to your feet. On the flip side, you can use your feet as the beginning of your outfit and use them to set the tone.
Jewelry
You can turn to jewelry when you are looking to add a little sparkle or bling to your outfit. You should aim to have in your collection a nice watch, a bracelet, and a necklace to ensure that you can mix and match with any outfit. Having a few dependant pieces can ensure that you can make any outfit classic.
One thing that you can do with jewelry is to layer it so that you can experiment with contrasting lengths, styles, and shapes. If you are layering necklaces, then you should go to different lengths to draw the eye up to your face. You can play around with different shapes colors and even textures. You can combine these with rings which can also be mixed and matched. However, you need to be careful and know when to stop. One bold piece can be just as impactful as multiple understated ones. Don’t be afraid to play around and see what works.
Belts
Belts are one of the time-honored accessories that never go out of style. The right belt can make an outfit or even break it. They can provide curves where there are none or even add a little bit of color to an otherwise plain outfit. Belts are casual, professional and can even shine during an evening outfit.
You can use a belt to add texture to an outfit. Casual fabric to leather belts can be both thin and wide. There is such much choice that you can make when picking a belt. A soft fabric belt over a flowing top with everyday jeans turns a casual wearing outfit into a sleeker chicer look. A leather belt can tidy up a pair of slacks or jeans when paired with a shirt. They truly can change your outfit.
Winter wear
Scarves, hats, and gloves may keep you warm but they also provide an opportunity for you to add some color and patterns to your look. This can help especially if your wardrobe is a little more neutral and safer. Gloves like hats can be made from a variety of materials whether that be wool or leather. Leather is often smarter so it won’t work with things like sweatshirts or a wool jumper.
Hats can be worn all year round. A woolen hat may be used in winter to keep your head warm but can even be used on those crisper autumn days to bring new texture and color to your outfits. Deep colors on your hat can bring a more playful element to your clothing choices. Black is a safe option but something like burgundy or a teal can bring a new dimension to your outfit.
Accessories
Whilst they may seem like an oversight, accessories can truly change your outfits and revolutionize your looks. There are so many options out there, the main piece of advice here is that you should continue to experiment. Focus less on buying new items of clothing and more on changing what you do with them or pair with them. Everything from footwear to eyewear and everything in between can be changed and adapted to bring you a new look.
