5 Ways Accessories Help with Dressing Up Outfits

Fashion

Are you getting bored with your wardrobe?  It’s full of clothes, but it feels like you have nothing to wear.  The chances are you are just a bit bored with the same outfits and you need to liven things up a little.  There’s no need to go out and buy a load more clothes, but you might want to invest in one or two key accessories.

Treat your clothes as if they are blank canvases.  Use them as a means of projecting your mood, your favourite trends, or your personal aesthetic. All you need are the right accessories. Even the most basic outfits can be totally transformed with the help of a few key accessories.

Dressing Up Outfits Pro Tips

When you use the following tips and learn how to accessorize, you can dress up outfits with accessories to look different, and people won’t even know.

1. Belt

Belts are such a great way to draw attention to and dress up your outfit. Have a few belts to suit different items.  A wider belt will work with jeans, but you might want a narrower one to cinch in a dress at the waist.  An alternative to the thinner belts is a wider one that makes a bit of a statement.

2. Scarves

Scarves can add an extra pop of colour to an otherwise boring outfit. If you have the perfect little black dress, but want to make it a bit more eye catching, use a brightly coloured scarf. Colours will soften the harshness of black too and make the look more appealing.

3. Necklaces

Necklaces can quickly add an extra something to a plain outfit. The extra pop of colour or shine to an outfit that might be too casual without it. If you find yourself caught in between the office and a dinner date, bring a dressy necklace to take your outfit to the next level.

4. Hats

Hats aren’t everyone’s thing I know, but they have an immediate effect on an outfit. It’s a matter of personal taste. Sometimes a contrasting hat is just what is needed to take that outfit to the next level.

Try hats that you wouldn’t normally pick off the shelf. Trying new hats may lead you to your new favourite look and a very unique, individual style.

5. Sunglasses

The style of sunglasses you wear says a lot about your style. Aviators have an adventurous, sporty look to them. If you want to be more glam, you may pick out a pair of cat eyes sunglasses.

Don’t be too matchy-matchy.  The days of your shoes having to match your handbag perfectly are long gone and for the better I think.  Try wearing a statement bag in the current season’s Pantone signature colour with a different colour shoe or sandal to make your overall look appear fresh, modern and up-to-date.

To perk up an outfit, try to ensure that you always add at least one statement piece, a carefully chosen accessory. It will really take your outfit to new heights.
