Accessories are an inexpensive and easy way to update your look. But with the trends in accessories that are making waves right now, it is easy to fall into a trap of over-accessorizing.[break]
Stick to a piece that stands out and keep your look balanced. Don’t go overboard and pile on bangles, rings, necklaces and scarves all together as this will only make you look like an over decorated Christmas tree.
Coco Chanel said: “Always remove one thing before going out the door.” A lot of women over-accessorize with rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets all heaped together at one time. It more often than not comes across as distracting and chaotic. Coco Chanel was right on this: less is more when it comes to accessories.
What you choose to wear should define who you are. Stick to what you love and what you know for sure you can pull off. After all, style is all about confidence and feeling good in your skin.
Dangly pair of earrings
If you are petite or chubby around your face, then opt for longer earrings. Women with a round face should avoid wearing small earrings and hoops as this will make them appear fuller. If you have a tall frame then a large earring will add to your hugeness; so stick to smaller ones.
Earrings are quite an eye catcher, so you can skip the necklace and ring. Pull you hair into a low bun or ponytail to show off your pair of ultra cool earrings.
Glittery ballerina shoes
You don’t need a sequined dress to look festive. Glittery ballerina flats can glam up a drab wardrobe choice.
Ballet flats will look great with any outfit but will look oodles better with a skirt or cropped pants.
A perfect sized clutchIt’s perfect for carrying your wallet and cell phone while raising your style quotient at the same time. If you are petite, don’t carry a too large clutch as that will look overwhelming. If you are on the larger side, don’t carry a tiny clutch as that will make you look even bigger.
Stylish wristwatch
A wristwatch does more than tell time. A large watch can be a good substitute for bangles or bracelets if you want to keep your style simple yet classy.
The statement ringBig sparkly baubles get a lot of attention. Real or faux, a statement ring can add oomph to your attire and make you look stylish without an effort.
Make sure you’ve had a manicure before slipping on these beauties. Skip heavy bangles and bracelets and stick with just the ring for a refined look.
Pretty belts
Waist cinching belts are no longer just meant to hold up your pants. Belts around your waist can create an illusion of a slimmer silhouette.
Belts will make any ensemble look elegant. Skinny belts look great with jeans. Women who are slightly on the heavier side should however refrain from donning thin belts.
If your tummy is your problem area, then you can wear a belt above your belly to draw attention away from your stomach.
Jazzy pendants and neckpieces
Neckpieces can jazz up a mundane outfit. Opt for a long piece if you are petite as that will make you look leaner and taller.
Shorter ones will look good on tall women. A long chain with an interesting pendant will also grab attention and look chic at the same time.
Vibrant scarves
Scarves can be worn with any outfit and can liven up a simple neckline. They add a pop of color to a dull wardrobe.
Scarves in rich and vibrant shades can brighten up your look. Loop a light cotton scarf in an interesting pattern to make a simple t-shirt look stylish.
Bold bangles
Give your getup an instant pop of style with interesting bangles. Wear them with dresses, jeans and t-shirt and even formal wear.
Wooden bangles look great with any outfit while metal ones exude an ethnic look.
Women with big boned arms and wrists should shy away from chunky bangles and bracelets and stick to thinner and sleeker ones instead.
