The next time you start putting an outfit together for work, what is it you wear outside of your clothes? Do you wear brooches? Do you use handbags? Are you picking over your shoes? Do you like to wear a tie or a belt? All of these things are accessories, and all of these things are going to enhance your outfits ten times over.
Whether you pair your outfit with a chic pair of earrings, or a silver ingot necklace, a new watch or a bracelet, introducing accessories to your outfit has a ton of benefits. Still on the fence? Let’s take a look at the reasons you should start accessorizing your outfits – whether for work or not!
- You’ll get way more mileage from your clothes. You’ve got a basic wardrobe and a few nice pieces, but accessories are what’s going to enhance those wardrobe pieces. When you buy more basics, you’re going to get bored over and over again. But if you have a capsule wardrobe for work, then adding accessories or upgrading your shoes will make a big difference to how you feel about how you look, and that’s the main thing. Accessories are going to help you to build confidence. When you get more mileage from your clothing, you’ll also feel more creative as a result.
- You can add some colour. Colour is a very powerful tool. It can brighten your day and alter your mood and make you feel memorable. The right colour can make you look better rested, it can make you look healthier and it makes you feel more vibrant. Why do so many people avoid colour when they don’t have to? If you’ve become colour phobic, it may be because you’re afraid of making a mistake with it or you have fallen into the myth that black is the perfect colour when really it’s not. Accessories give you the chance to have more colour without the commitment of large bold pieces.
- You get to feel more refined. You could wear the same sort of outfit for work every single day and still feel like you are more chic and refined than ever before purely because you added accessories to that outfit. Whether you’re dressing up your work outfits or dressing to impress for a date, adding accessories can turn even the most basic of situations to one that makes you stand out and look classier than ever.
- Enhance and upgrade your wardrobe. If you want a cheaper way to update your wardrobe, then look at the accessories that you’ve got. It’s an inexpensive, easy way to do it, and this is a fabulous way to dip a toe into a new trend. If you’re looking to add more jewellery, but you’re switching from gold to silver, then accessories are a good place to start.
Accessorising your outfits can change the way that you feel about yourself and the way you feel about your clothes. The best part is, it’s completely inexpensive.
