We may not necessarily dress according to the latest trends. We do however, believe what gives an outfit that extra Oomph is the added accessory(ies). So, here’s a list of our top 5 must-have accessories to invest in. Wear them till they “break”.
1. POINTED-TOE HEELS
WHY: These babies will instantly add a sleek sophistication to your look; whether it’s just casual drinks with the girls or an important meeting with a client. They also create the illusion of elongated legs making you look taller and slimmer.
TIP:
1) Try them out before making the purchase because comfort is important.
2) Be bold and go for an option with colour or interesting details.
2. DELICATE JEWELLERY
WHY: They are easy to wear and you can layer them with almost anything. They appear more expensive looking too.
TIP:
1) Don’t be stingy. Layer and stack as many pieces as you want to at once.
2) Don’t be afraid to mix metals.
3) Be creative and experiment with the different sizes/ lengths.
4) Keep the hue of stones (if any) neutral. Stick to just one pop of colour.
3. A LEATHER TOTE
WHY: It is functional, durable and very versatile. Plus, it never goes out of style.
TIP:
1) Make sure it has a sturdy strap.
2)Pick a size that does not drown you.
3)Clean and condition the leather surface when necessary to extend longevity.
4. A PRINTED BLAZER
WHY: It does not only make your outfit look sharp, it also adds character.
TIP:
1) Choose a print with hues that compliment your skin tone.
2) Keep the rest of the outfit neutral. If you want to add some colour, sample a pigment from the print.
5. STRAPPY FLAT SANDALS
WHY: If you decide to take a break from wearing heels, these will be a more polished option than a pair of flip-flops. It provides comfort without compromising your sense of style.
TIP:
1) Make sure the fit is right to avoid discomfort.
2) For an evening look: Go for options with embeliished or bedazzled details.
