This week's style principle is the Art of Accessorising.
If you have ever put an outfit combination together and wondered why it feels a little flat, it may be missing accessories!
The humble accessory is often forgotten as we build our wardrobes, yet accessories allow us to style our clothes differently, making an outfit combination feel fresh and new. Interestingly, learning how to accessorise is one of the most common outcomes that our clients want to achieve at the end of a styling experience and accessories, like necklaces, earrings, belts and handbags are almost always a "gap" we identify at the end of a wardrobe cleanse.
Matching the colour of your handbag and sunglasses can bring cohesion to an outfit. This same principle could be applied to your belt and shoes. If you've added a leopard print belt or shoe to your outfit, you can bring in a brown or black belt and bag to tie it all together.
Swapping out a heel for a sneaker will instantly take an outfit from smart to casual.
Tying a neck-scarf elegantly around your neck can add a pop of colour to an all black ensemble.
A statement earring, necklace stack or bracelet will add instant polish to a casual outfit of jeans and a shirt.
Curating an everyday jewellery combination is a quick and easy way to elevate an outfit without having to think about it (ours is a watch, rings, gold bracelet and gold earrings).
