Accessories are to an outfit what spices are to food. With the right combination, they make it better.
The same way you grow your spice collection should be the same way you invest in a few timeless accessories.
Whether it’s a pearl necklace or an everyday tote bag, every woman needs to have at least the most basic accessories in their wardrobe. Here are some accessories every woman should not live without.
1. Scarf
Scarves are stylish and versatile must-have accessories. There are many reasons that make them wardrobe staples. For instance, you can wear a scarf as a head wrap or even as a top. They come in a variety of prints, patterns, and colours to go with anything you wear. You can wear it on casual and formal occasions and whether it’s hot or cold, you can drape a scarf over your outfit to bring it to life.
2. Sunglasses
Sunglasses are one of those accessories that simply complete an outfit. Without them, the outfit may look plain and boring. Therefore, it’s good to have a few pairs for days when you want to add a little oomph to your look. Go for high-quality sunglasses as they can make a basic outfit look high-end. Also, ensure you get the right size and shape that complements your facial features.
3. Handbags
Handbags come in an array of sizes from large bags that can fit your work or weekend essentials to tiny ones that are perfect for running errands. However, there are times when we don’t want bag straps hanging from our shoulder and messing up how our outfit looks. This is where clutch bags come in handy. Clutch bags have been wardrobe essentials for years. They are a great accessory, especially for weddings, parties, and dates.
4. Rings
Your jewellery collection is not complete without rings. Just like a pair of earrings, you need a few rings to tie your outfit together. Midi rings and stackable rings are trendier if you want to create an edgy look. They’re easy to mix and match without looking messy. However, some classic pieces are essentials for a more formal social event where you can show them off.
5. Ballet flats
For a long time, anything other than heels was not seen as chic or fashionable. However, footwear trends have changed over the past decade with more women choosing flats over heels. In fact, ballet flats are some of the most popular types of shoes for this decade. They’re fashionable enough to wear to both formal and casual events and comfortable enough that you don’t have to worry about painful feet at the end of the day.
6. Stockings
Stockings were romanticized back in the day but these wardrobe essentials are more than just sexy inner-wear. They can streamline your outfit and keep you warm during the cold season. They also come in a variety of designs that add some personality to your outfit. Whether you prefer fishnet or sheer stockings, they’re certainly a good addition to your wardrobe.
7. Belt
Investing in good quality belts could transform your style. You can wear belts as fashion accessories to boost your basic t-shirt or coat outfit. They’re an effortless way to make your outfits look more stylish. Belts with designer logos are a popular choice but you can wear any that matches your style.
