How to Take Your Outfit to The Next Level
Do you ever feel like your outfit is missing something? Accessories can be the perfect way to amp it up. Sometimes it pays off to pay a little more attention to detail. Small accents can make your outfit more all the more eye-catching. Putting the right accessories together is a basic fashion skill that separates well-dressed people from those who just look boring so here are some tips on how to take your outfit to the next level.
Jewelry can really make or break a look. Large earrings can be a great way to dress up a casual or formal outfit. They draw attention to your face and add sparkle or a pop of color depending on the type. Long necklaces or chains will always be on trend. They create long vertical lines which make you look taller and leaner. A nice watch can also bring a sharp, classic touch to your outfit.
Sunglasses are the perfect summertime accessory. They certainly add a dimension of mystery to a person, which definitely attracts attention. There are so many different styles of shades out there that everyone can find a pair that suits them. No matter what the size, color, or shape, sunglasses are essential. They are functional for when that blazing sun is in your eyes and you’ll look good wearing them as well.
Try utilizing accessories to add pops of color to your outfits. If your outfit is plain (black and white, black and grey, etc.), create a pop of color with jewelry, a scarf, a handbag, or a belt. Remember to keep things in similar color families (warm colors or cool colors) so everything can coordinate nicely. If your clothes fit okay, it's easy to overlook a belt, but try adding a few statement belts into your rotation, It can make a huge difference in having a well put together ensemble. For many, it can highlight your waist in a flattering way, but it also breaks up and adds texture to even the simplest outfit.
The more basic the outfit, the bolder your accessories can be. Amazing outfits are all about balance. If you’re wearing an outfit that is big and voluminous, scale back on the accessories. If you’re wearing something sleeker, you can be a little more daring with a bright handbag or shoe.
