7 Accessories to Complete a Basic Outfit

Accessories can brighten up your look, even if the outfit is simple and largely uninteresting. You may feel you’re not well dressed for an occasion because your outfits are too bland and basic. But with accessories, you can turn your bland outfit into something fabulous. These are some accessories to help you get started on transforming your basic outfit.

• Earrings

Earrings adorn your face while drawing attention to your facial features and your hair. You can either go with a pair of stud earrings or statement earrings. 

Stud earrings make you elegant without attracting too much attention to your face. You may want to pull your hair up in a bun to show the earrings off. And you have many options and styles to choose from when it comes to stud earrings, such as pearl and diamante earrings. 

Statement earrings are for when you want heads to turn in your direction when you come into the room. These allow for more room for experimentation, as there are way more options to choose from. And as a result, there are a lot of different outfits to try them with, even if it’s something as simple as easy as a custom black pride t-shirt. 

• Belt

Belts can do wonders to your outfit if you wear them right. Waist belts, for instance, hold your waist tight while making your waistline look thinner. There are also those slim belts that help you hold your pants in place. You just can’t do without these, especially when you’re falling a few sizes below. Another way to deploy the slim belts on your outfit is to wear them on a blazer or a dress. 

And like earrings, the buckles of your belts tend to attract attention in different ways. So, if you don’t want a lot of attention, go for less fancy belt buckles with darker colors.

• Heels

Heels are a must-have. They make your legs look longer and more attractive. They also give that additional chic look on whatever outfit you wear them on. Just make sure you’re wearing heels you’re comfortable in if you don’t want to trip over yourself. Or wear wedges or block heels instead. 

• Sandals

You don’t always have to bury your feet in sneakers all the time. Neither do you have to walk on your toes, as heels would have you do. Instead, go for the simple comfort of sandals. Apart from making you look good, they also serve as a solution for sweaty feet. Depending on the style you want to pull off, you may then experiment with different kinds of sandals. Some of them include gladiators, wedges, dressy, flip-flops, and sport sandals.

• Rings

Very often, many people leave this one out. Even married people limit it to their wedding rings alone, when they still have nine more fingers to adorn. But rings can make your fingers less boring if you wear them right. Depending on the look you’re shooting for, you can go all bling-bling and have them all over your fingers. Or you can go for the minimalist look with just one ring.

• Bracelets

Bracelets give your wrist something to adorn them. And the fact that they are customizable helps them serve other purposes besides fashion. You can have them as souvenirs to keep you attached to those places you wish you’d go again. Your bracelet could also bear designs of people or places or things you always want to keep close to your heart.

• Necklace

The necklace is another accessory that can brighten up a basic look. You can either go for simple necklaces to complement the simple outfit. Or you go for statement necklaces, making them the highlight of your outfit. The nice thing about statement necklaces is that you don’t need to wear any more jewelry after you wear them. They are more than enough to brighten up your basic outfit.

Conclusion

Don’t let your confidence ever dampen because your outfit looks dull and bland. You can now turn your basic outfit into a statement outfit when you adorn it with these accessories.
