The Power of Accessories

I’m not lying when I say accessories will completely change your outfit. If you've been struggling with your style lately, start with a simple yet classy outfit; you’ll have endless options to reinvent and elevate it with accessories. This is the secret to that special look that will make people turn their heads and think, “That girl is so cool.” As someone whose closet is almost entirely neutral colors —because I feel my best in a basic tee and baggy jeans —I’ve realized accessories are essential to heighten the look with color, dimension, and texture. Thankfully, each season offers fun and different accessories to play with and incorporate in your style.

In the fall and winter, it can be challenging to style outfits. Always start with a classic foundation like a black or white long-sleeve and jeans. Then, be creative by adding the current trends in accessories to enhance and transform your look. Scarves, fur jackets, trench coats, and fur hats are good staples. Pick a mini skirt or leather shorts if it's a dinner vibe. Now elevate the look with tall boots, tights, a fur coat, or a leather jacket. At this point, jewelry such as statement earrings or a chunky necklace/bracelet will complete the perfect cool girl outfit that can be worn over and over again.

When the weather turns warmer in the spring and summer, a basic white tee with jean shorts is the perfect start to a simple outfit, but adding accessories like a claw clip, chunky or layering jewelry, belts, sunglasses, watches, and a bold bag are all ways to accentuate an outfit. Also, an attention-grabbing skirt is such a fun way to make an outfit more eye-catching.

Paying attention to the trending little things, like bags, jewelry, and belts, can add a layer of luxury and detail to your outfit, giving an impression of effortless style. You don’t need to constantly buy new clothes; instead, invest in quality basics and switch up your accessories. The same outfit can feel brand new and trendy by simply accessorizing it differently each time you wear it. Now that’s styling power!
