The Rules To Accessorizing

Accessories can make a significant difference to the overall look of an outfit. It is important that you follow a few simple rules in order to avoid a fashion faux pas. Here are a few do’s and don’ts to accessorizing your outfit.

DOS

• Enhance your outfit: pick pieces that complement your outfit, not take away or distract from it.
• Keep it current: ensure that your accessories follow the currents trends.
• Use a variety of different pieces: don’t be known for always wearing that one necklace. Change it up every once in a while.
• Purchase classic staple pieces: a black leather tote purse will last you a life time whereas an animal print bag may only be in style for one season.

DON’TS

• Mix prints: a striped tank paired with a plaid scarf just does not work. Keep it simple.
• Don’t do it all at once: we all have a few favourite pieces but you don’t have to wear them all at once. Wear the earrings to dinner but save the hat for the beach.
• Don’t over accessorize: quality over quantity.
