I love
accessories! They do a fine job of hyping a bland outfit + they can help achieve
any look you want. Like I always say, if you can’t readily afford a total
wardrobe change, splurge on accessories!
A lot of
people complain they need new clothes. But when you look closely, you realize
they have not fully utilized or maximized what they have.
Let’s keep in
mind that sometimes you gotta keep the accessories minimal if you've got so
much going on (a busy outfit altogether). A person’s personality is usually
evident in the type of accessories they are drawn to. Let’s look at a few ways
to instantly glam up your outfit.
Belts? Sure…
Apart from the
fact that they help cinch in your waist or define it, they also add extra
detail. Trust me, a nice belt can take your outfit from here to up there. Yeah,
I mean up there!! From bold, patterned, metallic, textured to colorful ones…you
might wanna explore your options.
Makeup?
Absolutely...
How you look
from head to toe is a complete package. Hence, everything must sum up to give a
pleasing effect. Your hair also counts. Be versatile in your choice of
hairstyles. Play with makeup to suit the rest of your outfit. From bold lippies
to well combined eyeshadows..sometimes you gotta let the hair and makeup speak and leave every other thing
quiet.
Jewelry?
Totally…
This
is definitely my go-to way of spicing up most of my outfits. Wearing bold
accessories is another way to add interest to drab clothing pieces. Add a
colorful necklace, chunky bracelet or dangling earrings. Brooches, bold rings, head chains work too.
Colorful ,
unique shoes or bold colored bag/purse? Why not…?
Whether you
choose to wear heels, flats, sneakers or combat boots, make sure that your footwear is
unique and has some sort of interest to it. Details (zippers, cut outs, lace,
buttons etc) on shoes can make things more interesting. Footwear with eye
catching colors is also something to look into.
Hats? Of
course…
Fedoras,
bowler, beanies, newsboy caps, wide brim hats… the possibilities are endless.
Hats can act as a great form of expression, and they are a great way to show
off some personality.
Wearing
a hat to complement your outfit can illustrate that you are fun and flirty and that you are not afraid to play with your
style. Attain a vintage, rocker look with a bowler hat or simply wear a fedora
with a maxi.
Scarves? Well
yeahhh…
In whichever way you choose to use them or style them, they simply make a
difference. Use them as a headwrap or neckwrap. There are different ways to
style them. Headwraps are not only for bad hair days. They
can also help finish up your look.
It doesn’t
necessarily have to be with the use of accessorizes. It could be as simple as a
knot, half tuck (like in the picture below), a shirt tied around your waist and more.

way of spicing up your outfits or do you agree with these tips?…kindly share
