5 Tips To Accessorize Your Fashion

You're already quite comfortable in the fashion that you've developed over the years. You have the tops and bottoms, you have the seasons covered, you have special events covered. But you still want some variation, and that's where your accessories come in.

Check out these five tips for thoughts on how to accessorize within the styles you have already created - start from the top with earrings and necklaces, decide what goes around your arms, pick the right belt for any occasion, decide if your bottoms need anything special, and choose your shoes wisely.

Starting at the Top

Within any set of outfits, jewelry like necklaces and earring are key. Read the latest fashion magazines to see what type of jewelry is most popular (to others) and appealing (to yourself) and see what you can get to set off what you already have appropriately. There are always the basic gold and silver options, but more creative possibilities exist out there as well for the adventurous.

Going Around the Arms

Have you ever seen metallic tattoos? They are beautiful when well designed and applied, and can really set off outfits of many different kinds. For more traditional arm accessories, there are also wrist and arm bracelets that can take you everywhere from subtle to hyperactive, stylistically.

Pick the Right Belt To Cinch Your Style

The easiest way to ruin any outfit is by having the wrong belt. And one of the easiest ways to pull together all of your fashion choices is by having the right belt. Seems like a pretty important part of what you're doing, eh? This means, color, shape, style, size, and how you wear it. Every part of the best has to work with your overall theme, and if it doesn't, scrap the idea and start with a new one. Belts range dramatically in price, so your goal is to find the most effective one for the least damage to your bank account.

Bottoms Up

It's a bit harder to accessorize bottoms, but there are creative ways to do it. You can intentionally fray jeans. You can add patches. These are obviously ideas for more casual outfits, but they are still great ways to add a new ping to an old look. Even custom inking or coloring on old pairs of bottoms can seriously update what would have otherwise been an unwearable pair of jeans.

Choose Your Shoes Wisely

The last most important accessory are your shoes. Read up on shoe fashion to see what the masses and what the celebrities are doing, and then emulate to a degree, but always be aware of comfort. Depending on where you're going, either heels or sandals could be devastating in terms of comfort, stylish or otherwise.
