Looking fab and glam is what everybody wants, so one makes sure that he/she chooses the perfect outfit especially when attending an event. To match it and make that complete wardrobe, an accessory or two will spice up just about everything. But when do you know an accessory is needed, and which ones will work perfectly with your outfit?
Below are suggestions to help you start in choosing the accessories that will spice up your wardrobe.
You need to choose the right amount of accessories. You can use something as simple as a new scarf or belt to breathe life into a tired old outfit. Choose accessories to match the outfit, not an outfit to match your accessories.
Belts
Just like with scarves, if you are wearing a solid coloured outfit, a patterned belt can really bring the colours out. Remember that you can always turn an old scarf into a new belt. If you are thin enough, you can even wear a cute necktie as a belt with jeans. Before you purchase accessories know how you will wear them and what outfit they’ll go with .
Shoes are a great accessory and can really make a difference to the look of an outfit. Leopard prints and shoes with designs may be difficult to fit into a wardrobe and are usually a passing trend. Wear them with an outfit that picks up one of the colors in the shoes and keep other accessories to a minimum.
Jewelry
Make sure that a jewelry compliments your skin tone and use it to highlight your best features. The jewelries should also be appropriate for the occasion – avoid oversized earrings, do not drape yourself with diamonds if you are going to a children’s party. Make sure that your necklaces compliment your build and outfit and your ring should fit properly. Wear earrings that flatter your face shape. Avoid long dangling earrings if you have a long face. Your face will appear longer because of the long lines of the earrings. Try the jewelries in front of a mirror before purchasing them. If possible, wear the outfit which you plan to pair it with. An inexpensive jewelry can be just as stunning as an expensive pearl or diamond.
Hair Accessories can add a dramatic look, a dressy look or a sporty look. You can use headbands or scarf with long or short hair – a solid outfit will be spiced up by a patterned headband. If you have short hair, you can have an active look by using small barrettes or hairpins to pull back your bangs. A long hair can be pulled back using a sleek ponytail. You can look anything from businesslike to classy with the right hair accessory.
Eyeglasses are also accessories. Limit the accessories around your face to two if you will wear eyeglasses. Use sunglasses if the party is along the beach or if it is a pool party.
Whether you are wearing jeans, slacks or a dress, one should not forget to accessorize. Always check yourself in the mirror to see if you are over accessorized and if your accessories compliment your outfit.
