Find out why accessorizing is just as important as an outfit.

---

Accessories have the ability to take an outfit from good to great. You can dress clothes up and down depending on the accessories you choose to wear with an outfit. Despite clothes covering most of your body, accessories can completely change the appearance of an outfit. The art of accessorizing especially comes into play when you have limited clothing options. Accessorizing differently is a great way to change things up to make new outfits each time.

Items like belts, purses, jewelry, and more can change silhouettes, color schemes, and looks of clothes. Accessories can be the obvious, like belts and purses, but it also can include things like makeup and hairstyles. Adding a belt to a dress can cinch the waist and define one’s figure more. Wearing a long necklace that stops below the bust can make someone appear taller and slimmer. Wearing strappy sandals can dress down a formal dress to one for a casual summer occasion.

One important thing to remember is that you can over accessorize. Know when enough is enough! You don’t want to turn a perfectly good outfit into a disaster by adding too many things. One key tip is to never try and mix too many trends at the same time. You should only focus on accentuating one or two areas with added items. Another thing to keep in mind is your body type. Smaller forms should stick to smaller jewelry so large chunky pieces don’t overwhelm the look. Larger forms are okay to wear larger jewelry as it looks proportionate.

Lastly, have fun with it! Accessorizing should be a fun experience and a way to stand out among other people. Making a statement with your accessories can also make a statement about who you are and your personality. Hopefully some of Tailored Trinket’s products can be your new favorite accessory!
