Fashion accessories are the pieces that make your outfits tell your story. They can be as simple or complicated as you want them to be, and they come in all shapes, sizes, colours, brands and styles. Unlike clothing, they also don’t take up nearly as much space so you can have an impressive collection without taking up your entire closet.
One of the main reasons why accessories are so important is because they add a pop of colour to an otherwise boring outfit. For example, a plain white shirt and black pants can look very bland unless you have accessorised it with some colourful jewellery or shoes. Adding an accessory such as a necklace, bracelet or earrings will instantly brighten up your whole appearance and show off your personality.
They can also be used to tie together different colours or patterns that would otherwise clash if worn alone. For example, a bold floral print dress can be calmed down with a plain black scarf or belt, which will balance out the outfit and make it more wearable.
Another important use of accessories is to help with an outfit’s functionality. For instance, a pair of sunglasses can protect the eyes from harmful UV rays or they can be used to enhance the look of a particular face shape. Similarly, a scarf can be used to cover up a bad hair day or to add a splash of colour to an otherwise dull outfit.
