Simple Accessories From Your Wardrobe That Can Glam-Up Any Outfit

The addition of a few choice accessories can really help to elevate an outfit to the next level. If you pick the right ones, then you’ll get a unifying theme across your entire wardrobe, meaning that everything you wear will be distinctly and unmistakably you.

Let’s run through a few simple tricks that can change up just about any outfit – and what’s more you probably already have them in your cabinets and wardrobes, and just aren’t making the most of them!

Earrings

The right earrings can add just a little extra glamour to your outfit. They’re an opportunity to go for something eye-catching, even if you’re naturally a bit more conservative when it comes to the rest of your clothing. Large hoop or dangle earrings can be a real statement piece especially for a monochrome or all black outfit, which many people tend to prefer.

Sunglasses

This accessory is so common and practical that many of us don’t even consider them. But if you swap out your existing pair of sunglasses for a totally different style, you’ll be surprised at the effect the move can have. Why not pick out something vintage – or even, if you’re feeling brave, something with a totally out-there shape to the lenses?

Boots

During winter time, you’ll need a pair of nice boots. If you go for something suitably glossy, then you’ll inject a bit of extra coherence and sheen to a thrown-together casual ensemble. Boots are an absolute capsule wardrobe staple, and a simple pair of Chelsea or riding boots can be a glamorous item to easily team with jeans, dresses, smart trousers and almost any other item from your closet!

Clip-on Veneers

If you’re worried about the state of your smile and you’d like a solution you can wear to brighten it up, then a set of clip-on veneers might be just the thing. They’re a great deal more affordable than traditional-style teeth veneers, and can be saved for those special occasions where you’d like to make a bigger impression.

Belts

Thanks to their location around the center of your body, belts can have a powerful unifying effect on an outfit, making everything seem like it belongs with everything else. That is, of course, if you choose the right one. A statement belt can feature an eye-catching buckle, which will act as the centerpiece of the entire outfit. Most people tend to stuff belts at the back of drawers forgetting they even exist, but by designating some hanging space to organize them in amongst your shirts and dresses you will be reminded of them every time you open your wardrobe!

Hats

A hat is another item that can make or break an outfit. Some styles, like baseball caps, are difficult to pull off in a more formal look. Hats can be worn throughout the year: a heavy beanie during winter, and a light, wide-brimmed sun-hat for when you’re chilling on the beach during summer. There are plenty of options to choose from, so don’t be afraid to experiment!

Neck scarves

A simple scarf can alter an entire look. If you’ve got an otherwise neutral-looking outfit, then it can provide a focal splash of bold color. On top of this, it’ll serve a practical purpose during winter, keeping the chill off your neck. A tip for ensuring you remember to wear these, is to hang them with a matching coat, on a coat hook or a designated rail so when you’re leaving in a hurry your outfit will still look wonderfully together.

Bags

A spacious bag is great for carrying around your belongings – but if you just have a few essentials, and you’d like to make a statement, then a mini-bag is the way to go. Again, you can opt for a bold colour or texture to catch attention.
