Accessories are the perfect way to spice up a simple outfit. They can transform a plain outfit into something fun and exciting and can enable your wardrobe to become so much more versatile.

In this article, we’ll be discussing our top tips and tricks on how you can elevate your look with accessories, adding those final touches to bring everything together.

Start small

If you’re a complete beginner to the world of accessorising, starting small is a great place to start. Dressing up your outfit with one or two discrete accessories can ensure you’re not overdoing it or overwhelming yourself. This is especially important if you’re already wearing a bright and bold outfit.

However, if you’re opting for a plain and simple outfit, you can easily make a statement with your accessories. Perhaps you could pair your outfit with a beautiful bag or a chunky necklace to bring it to life.

Think function

When choosing your accessories, consider whether they bring added function to your outfit. If you’re wanting to accentuate your figure, a stylish belt can cinch your waist. Or, a sparkling diamond necklace can turn your outfit into an elegant ensemble.

Cute hair clips or a silk scrunchie can come in handy if it’s windy out. Alternatively, a Tissot watch can add some sophistication to your look.

Hats are another way to add something small to your look. Lighthouse have some both stylish and practical hats for the outdoors. Their Waterproof Rain Hats are affordable ways to get that country girl style look.

Try layering

You don’t just have to stick to one piece of jewellery once you’ve found your perfect style. Items like necklaces, earrings and rings can look incredibly chic when layered or stacked. This, in turn, can add more depth to your look.

When layering necklaces, opt for dainty style pieces for a subtle look. Choose a variety of the same metal in varying lengths, so you can layer both your short and long necklaces. This looks particularly great when paired with a plain white tee.

Ring stacks can level up your accessory game. You can purchase a set of rings that already match and stack them together to create a mesmerising pair of hands. You could even mix and match with minimalist rings and large, boho-style rings to show off your style.

Think colour

Whilst clashing colours can look great with some outfits, they can often look loud and overbearing. If you’re unsure where to start when it comes to colour, consider picking one shade from your existing outfit and choosing which accessories can match it.

Or, if you’re wearing a monotone outfit, try adding one statement colour to make your outfit pop. Style experts often advise us to wear a maximum of 3-4 different colours at once, but there’s no harm in experimenting. Consider this principle when choosing your accessories to match your next outfit.
