Looking good never goes out of style no matter the gathering, whether it is a family get together, friendly hangout or a simple movie date. Regardless of what you are looking to achieve, be it making a fashion statement, rocking a trending ensemble or just being you, accessories promote your general appearance on first sight. Fashion accessories are used in a secondary manner besides your outfit of choice, to complete, complement, and express an individual’s identity and personality. They come in different, shapes, sizes, hues, designs, crafts, etc.

Accessories have a way of adding spice to your attire, from your hair-do to your feet, making the finished look even more interesting.

We have a few ideas on how to ramp up your look with the help of some key items:

Hoops: As one of the oldest and most daring accessory, this unique piece of jewelry dates back hundreds of years to the time of Cleopatra and Nefertiti, maintaining its significance of empowerment, pride and culture. It is easy to match with any style of outfit and suitable for various occasions. Hoop earrings are the perfect finishing touch for most outfits since they are striking and bold.

Tote bags: Being a very spacious bag which can accommodate pretty much all your essentials, it should be a major part of your collection. In a little detail, the term “tote” is derived from Old English and means “to carry.” It was used at the beginning of the 20th century to describe bags. This classic accessory can be combined with a wide variety of outfits to create different looks that will not go unnoticed, either minimalistic or basic.

Hats: A statement-making hat is a very easy way to add some form of exciting appeal to your outfit. Other than being a stylish accessory, there are practical reasons for incorporating a hat into your look such as blocking out the sun when the temperature is very high and keeping you warm, when the temperature is very low. On top of that, making hats a part of your classy or casual ensemble can make you someone else’s style inspiration.

Watches: I do have a favorite and this is it. Like jewelry and any other accessory, watches reflect distinct individual taste, mixed with popular fashion trends. Using a watch is not just for the function of telling time, it casts a certain visual appeal and says something about its wearer. With multiple options cutting across leather, chain, beaded and even woven bands, every watch has a style that can boost your look and express your attitude.

Whether you're adorning your neck with beautiful necklaces, adding a statement bracelet or throwing on a pair of shades, more often than not, accessories promote your outfit, taking it to the next level. So go ahead, pick your favorite and reveal your style. Let us know your preferred option in the comments.
