Wearing vs Styling - Mastering The Art of Accessorizing Your Outfits

So you've finally nailed down your basic pieces, maybe you've even found some statement favorites along the way.

You can breathe a sigh of relief, the hardest part is over!

Now that you've curated a solid wardrobe you can work with, it's time to focus on the fun part (in our opinion).

'What's the fun part?' you might be asking... styling outfits, of course!

Most people can pull together two color-complementary basics (like jeans and a tee), but true personal style lies in the ability to make things your own.

How To Style More Interesting Outfits

Accessories, splashes of color, and hardware like jewelry or belts can make or break your look. If fear or overwhelm is the only thing stopping you from personalizing your fits, it's time to take that next step.

1. Accessorizing and Layers: The Key To Confident, Stylish Outfits

A basic outfit can't shine without extra details.

Use accessories to add extra bits of style, such as a silk scarf, and bring in some personality.

Bring your all-black look to life with an unexpected layer that adds color or texture.

2. SpicE Up Your Outfits with Color (Especially In The Office.)

Get ready as you normally would with all your favorite basics, and then add an unexpected splash of color.

This can be something as small as a different nail color to a bold shoe.

A printed kitten heel or a splash of olive green can change a look from boring to bold. Even when at work, you can add color. Try a muted tone for a more sophisticated, professional vibe.

3. Hardware And Accessories in Your Style

By far the simplest way to add a little bit of "you" into any look is by using some jewelry.

When it comes to hardware, the sky is the limit.

There are so many cool indie jewelrywear brands that are totally changing the enamel game, so get looking and be as creative as possible!

Don't let yourself be intimidated into constantly buying new pieces or wearing the same thing as everyone else in your office. You can fit into the dress code AND feel more self expressive and stylish!

Use these tips to let your style shine through anywhere you go, without the fuss. Let your outfits be as unique and individual as you are.
