Go From Dull to Divine With Accessories By Benedict Smythe At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

An outfit can go from dull to divine just by sprucing it up with the right accessories. Accessories let you stretch your limited closet and give you a variety of ways to dress up an outfit. So here are some tips that you could use when you want to know how you could take an outfit from boring to beautiful.

Tips on Accessorizing

a. Start with an outfit that is simple and you are comfortable in. It would provide a great canvas to work with. Dark jeans and shirts in solid colors are good for starters.

b. Look at your shirt and see if there’s anything that you can add on to make it more interesting. Check if you could make it more interesting by layering your clothes. You can wear two tank tops with the longer tank top underneath and just peeking out. Layer two long-sleeved tops and cuff the sleeves of the one underneath over the top. Just make sure that when you layer, the colors somehow match and that the fabric is thin enough so you don’t end up looking like a trussed up turkey. Also consider the weather, you wouldn’t want to be bundled up when it’s sweltering hot.

c. Get some pieces of jewelry that would look great on the outfit. If you want to make a bold statement, then try wearing a chunky necklace or a pair of dangling earrings. Just make sure that it somehow fits your outfit – go for casual accessories like beads when it’s for casual events and just save the diamonds for later. Pearls are always safe and would always go with any outfit.

d. Wear a watch. They are not just great accessories, they are also pretty useful. Choose a watch that fits your mood or your outfit. There’s a variety of watches that you could choose from and could fit any outfit – from sporty wide rubber watches to classy slim gold watches.

e. Try wearing a belt or a pair of socks for a dash of color. If you want to wear more colors, then having them in a belt would add more interest to your outfit. It would be fun to find a play of colors every time your belt or socks peek out. Just make sure that you keep it at a low, you wouldn’t want to have more than 3 dominant colors.

f. Do something nice and different with your hair. Turn up a simple ponytail by making a ‘poof’ at the front for this is really flattering and makes your usual ponytail look really stylish. Try using headbands or some cute hairclips.

g. Find a great pair of shoes that matches the outfit. Flats look great when paired with a mini skirt or a sundress and is really comfortable for a walk. Pumps and high heels really look sexy when paired with skinny jeans. Consider where you’re going and how you’re going to spend the day when choosing your footwear. You wouldn’t want to end with aching feet at the end of the day now, would you?

h. Finally, you can choose a bag that suits your needs for that day, wear a jacket or a blazer for a classier look and you are good to go.
