Ideal Ways to Accessorize Any Outfit

If you consider the following tips each time you get ready to go out, you’ll never become a fashion don’t.

Accessorizing Clothing for Women 

If you want to perk up any outfit, you should always wear a minimum of one statement piece. It makes clothing for women go from okay to wow. Wrap your neck in a light scarf that has a nice pattern before you go out in that totally black outfit. If you prefer a sheath dress, you can change up the look with different cuff bracelets so you can take it from classy to casual with a simple swap. Don’t overthink it. Just choose one large accessory.

Shoes

When you want to put your best foot forward, the best advice as far as shoe styles go is to make sure that comfort is at the top of your list of priorities. Chunky, block heels are great for days when you’ll have to wear them for hours on end because your body weight is distributed evenly throughout the entire shoe. If you go for ones with an even thicker heel, you might even be able to go for a couple of additional inches. However, if skinny heels are more your style, stick to the lower heights to help you maintain your balance. 

Mix Metals

Accessories have come quite a ways since the days when everything was supposed to match. These days, when trying to choose the right jewelry, you can pair rich, warm-toned pieces, such as an antique brass watch or a dainty gold chain, with a cool pair of silver earrings. The key to this is to choose a dominant shade to make your base and then introduce a contrasting shade or two in order to make the mixing appear to be effortless. This can upgrade your look to make it seem uber-expensive. 

Don’t Forget Your Nails

If you’re going out wearing multiple thin bands or a cocktail ring, make sure your fingernails are on point. When there’s no time for a complete manicure, change your polish real quick or take a nail file and clean up the shape of your nails so that each finger is even and neat. If you don’t have time for color, try a combination of a base and top coat so that your nails will be strong and protected and you can prevent breakage and snags. Also, shapes like round and square can prevent breakage, so those are always good options. If you have chipped polish or if your nails are messy, they will be the focus of attention, not that statement cocktail ring. 

Jeans

In terms of denim, mix and match as opposed to sticking to a single look. Pairing more professional, structured pieces, such as pointed-toe pumps and a blazer with more casual pieces, such as a tee and distressed jeans, is a great look. That being said, try not to wear sneakers with your jeans and go for wedges or pumps instead. 

Consider the Destination

Finally, consider where you’ll be going. Today’s rules regarding style are quite a bit more lenient than in yesteryear, even at work. These days, it’s acceptable for you to wear bits and baubles in the daytime, though you do need to consider your workplace. For example, you might not wear a sophisticated, chic crystal necklace if you’re delivering a baby, but it would be alright for a day packed with meetings. 

If you take each of the tips you’ve just read into account each time you go out the door, you’ll avoid making a fashion faux pas.
