Accessories truly have the power to transform any outfit and at the same time, to express your unique personality.

Today we will discuss the topic of accessorizing to complete and style your best look

Accessories you might want to think about - 

1.Watch

There are so many different types of stunning women’s watches: elegant and classy, fun and bold, sparkly, minimalistic, you name it.

Here are some questions to get started:

• What comes to mind when you describe your perfect watch?

• What kind of occasions would you like to wear this watch?

• What type of watch fits your current style in terms of color, look and feel?

2.Necklaces

A trend we love is layered necklaces! A quick tip to layer your necklaces the right way is to go from a short necklace to a long necklace. The ‘heavier’ necklace, for example with a stunning chain on it, should be the longest necklace. The shorter necklace should be more delicate.

It depends on the neckline of your top which necklace would be suitable for your outfit. A sweetheart neckline for instance, would go really well with curved beads/pendants, and a V-neck neckline would ask for more V-shaped pendants.

3.Bracelets & Rings

Combining bracelets can look gorgeous. When selecting your stack of bracelets think about mixing and matching different kind of materials and colors. It is an easy way to pop some color into your outfit (hello, blue-as-the-sea themed bracelet collection) or to keep things classy with a pearly bracelet or all gold/all silver style.

Rings definitely beautify your hands. Again, you could mix and match and maybe experiment with some bolder pieces, or just keep things minimal. A timeless, high-quality ring will look stunning and can be worn for decades.

4.Bags

When it comes to bags, an ‘old but gold’ tip is to match your bag with your shoes, or the other way around. You can think about this in terms of color (make sure it is exactly the same color, or fits really well together) and in terms of material. 

Or combine your bag with accessories like your bracelets or earrings. For example: a black dress with red earrings and a small red clutch. Wonderful. Or a minimalistic bag with a gold/silver handle that matches perfectly with your gold/silver necklace.

5.Earrings

Earrings are such an easy way to make it look like you put more effort into your look. It can be as simple as a pair of small buttons, or as fun and outgoing as some dream catchers, moon & stars or silver earrings. There are so many kind of earrings, and it can be an easy and cheap way of dressing up and having fun. Just experiment with some different styles and see what best suits you, and your features. Maybe larger earrings are too overpowering for you, and you should go for a more average size.

With that being said, the keys to accessories are:

• Balance & the right proportion

• Experimenting with different styles to see what suits you best

• Matching accessories in terms of color/material

• Thinking about the occasion

• YOUR personal preferences.

6.Nails

Ladies! Don't forget, your nails are accessories too, make sure to keep them beautiful and groomed first and foremost!

Your nails will define your personality and make your whole look even prettier.

Quick Tips:

1.Think about proportion

What’s important is that your look is BALANCED. Which means that even with accessories, you should think about appropriate proportions. If you are petite, and want to appear a bit taller, you should not wear too many large pieces, same goes the opposite way.

Make sure that your accessories balance each other out.

 A good rule of thumb is to stick with 1-2 statement pieces.

2.Stick to a ”THEME”

For your outfit to look harmonized instead of distracting, you could opt to stick to a certain ‘theme’. It doesn’t really matter what you choose, or what your interpretation of a look is, we want your accessories to look balanced and to enhance each other.

3.Think about color

Experts advise us to wear a maximum of 3-4 different colors in our outfits. Even though most accessories are a bit more subtle and therefore give you some more opportunities to experiment with color, this principle should still be taken into consideration.

A few possibilities are:

• Using accessories with colors that can already be found in your outfit.

• Using accessories with a bold color, to play up a ‘basic’ outfit.

• Sticking to only ‘gold’ or ‘silver’. You can never go wrong with that!
