How to Accessorize and Complete Your Outfit

Accessorizing plays a pivotal role in refining and defining your attire. When dealing with a neutral outfit, think of it as a blank canvas, allowing your imagination to roam free. Vibrant, trendy statement accessories can breathe life and style into such attire. Imagine a bold necklace or some sparkling earrings that become the center of attention.

Conversely, if your clothing already screams audacity and flair, you might want to dial it down a notch with the accessories. Simple, understated accessories can help maintain equilibrium, ensuring your statement outfit remains the focal point. In situations where minimalism is the theme, even just one statement accessory, such as a chic handle bag paired with a classic white t-shirt, can make all the difference.

Experiment With Different Accessories

Diversity is the spice of accessorizing. Depending on the occasion, and more importantly, your mood, you can experiment with a vast range of accessories. For the days you want to keep it casual, having neutral footwear like white sneakers is ideal. However, for those glamorous nights, nothing beats the allure of statement footwear, such as red-bottomed heels. If jewelry feels like uncharted territory, starting with universal pieces is the way to go.

A pearl necklace or a simple pendant can seamlessly blend with a myriad of outfits. Beyond jewelry, stylish scarves, and hats can add color or variation in patterns to your neutral look while keeping you warm in winter.  Having different bag accessories like clutches, handbags, satchels, or a cross-body bag from Dihsan can help you have an appropriate unique accessory for different occasions. Belts are also an overlooked accessory that can define your waistline and make your outfit look more polished.

Keep Your Frame in Mind

Fashion is as much about the clothing and accessories as it is about the individual wearing them. Understanding your body type can open doors to accessorizing that you might have overlooked. For those with an oval body shape, a belt can work wonders in creating a cinched waist illusion. Combine that with a statement necklace, and suddenly the attention shifts to your upper body.

If you lean towards a triangular body shape, accessories like chandelier earrings or chunky necklaces can add volume to the upper half, striking a balance. Conversely, with an inverted triangle body shape, minimalism should be your mantra. Those with a rectangular body can benefit from defining accessories, while hourglass figures provide a bit more freedom—just ensure that accessories like bags complement the proportions.

Know What Piece of Jewelry Flatters Your Face Shape

Depending on whether your face is round, square, or heart-shaped, opt for suitable signature accessories that complement your facial structures while completing your attire. Your square-shaped face can benefit from flowy-shaped earrings or round glasses that soften up and offset your features such as your defined jawline. 

Teardrop earrings and glasses that mirror a heart shape can help compliment your heart-shaped face and balance your jawline for a fashionable and stylish look. If you have a round face go for accessories like square sunglasses that make your face look more angular or drop earrings that help elongate your face and give it a slimmer appearance.

Endnote

A great tip to accessorize like a pro is to seldom match the colors of your accessories to your clothing. You can choose colors that complement each other and add new energy to your attire. It may take you a while to learn how to accessorize your fits like a pro, however, experimenting with different accessories can help you develop the skill to add the perfect finish to your ensemble.
