A sense of effortless style and swagger, paradoxically, isn’t always easy to bring about. Often, you’ll need to bring together a series of high-quality garments, perhaps drawn from a quality capsule wardrobe. But to really take things to the next level, you’ll also need to throw in a few choice accessories.
Statement Watch
A great timepiece from a reputable manufacturer can be an amazing way to add class and style to an outfit. The best of them will often appreciate, and they’ll go well with everything from a business suit to a swimsuit. When it comes to price, the sky is the limit; but don’t feel that you need to push things so far that your watch costs more than the rest of your wardrobe combined.
Quality Leather Belt
A leather belt is a great way to break up your profile, and prevent your body from becoming shapeless. Brown and black leather tend to be the best choices. You can pick a belt in either material, and then mix things up with a selection of interchangeable buckles and plaques.
Elegant Sunglasses
Sunglasses are not just a means of adding effortless style to any given outfit. They’re also a great way to protect your eyes against the sun, and thereby decrease your risk of visual problems. You should choose your shades based on the look of your head, rather than how they look in the display case (or, worse, on a web page). Try a few pairs on, and find out what works.
Sophisticated Scarf
A good scarf will keep your neck nice and toasty during winter. It might also help to add a splash of vibrant colour to an otherwise neutral outfit. A bright red one will often pop against a grey overcoat. You can pick out a scarf to match the season. During winter, something thick and warming, like wool, might be preferable. During summer, you might go for something more lightweight, like linen or silk.
Minimalist Jewellery Piece
When it comes to versatility, it’s often better to favour minimalistic, no-frills jewellery over the showier items. Minimalistic items tend to match more easily with your clothes – and with one another.
It’s often a good idea to settle on one particular kind of metal. This will allow you to mix and match items without fear of creating clashes. Items of silver jewellery tend to work nicely with other items of silver jewellery. With that said, it isn’t impossible to get great results by mixing metals.
When you invest in jewellery, you’ll want to ensure that you’re storing it properly, and getting it regularly seen to by a professional. Invest in a jewellery box – preferably one that’s lined with velvet or silk.
