The importance of accessorising and how it reinforces your style

Accessorising

You could slip into a stunning new season Valentino cocktail dress, with handcrafted silk detailing, but the vision fades when paired with clunky heels and an oversized tote. The truth is, accessorizing is the secret of great styling—it’s where true fashion magic happens, transforming a look from “nice” to unforgettable.  

This week we’re diving into accessorising and how it adds those finishing flourishes to your look. Accessories complete the outfit and shape our aesthetic. They have the ability to add polish to your look or steal the show. Yet, too often, accessories are overlooked and/or misused.

Earrings

Earrings can illuminate your finest features— These adornments don’t just complement; they elevate and accentuate, serving as the ultimate accessory for anyone craving an effortless touch of glamour. A hint of gold or a stand-out gem, earrings possess the power to transform, offering a subtle yet striking boost to your look.

In the 80s bold and chunky statement earrings were all the rage. In the last couple of years, they’ve come back into popularity with Gen Z style icons such as Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid frequently seen sporting them. They can be used to elevate a simple and clean look. It’s a way to add luxury or flash to even a simple knit jumper and jean combo and look their best with a sleek bun or ponytail to really show them off. 
 
Here are some of my favourites from jewellery brands that promise excellent quality.

Handbags

Handbags—the ultimate mood-setters. The right handbag completes the look, whether you’re heading out to work, for brunch, or a high-class event. A canvas backpack to dinner with the girls? A definite no-go. The setting dictates the choice, and your bag should always rise to the occasion. 

The 2010s are back and chic holdalls are at the center of the trend. Notable handbags that paved the way are the Balenciaga City bag and the Celine Luggage bag. These bags blend practicality with high fashion, offering spacious interiors without sacrificing style, and embodying the perfect mix of functionality and luxury that defined the era's iconic look. 

Check out the must-have bags of the season. Don't let the price of these bags dissuade you, there are many amazing dupes on the market!
