12 Accessories That Will Spice Up Your Outfit

There is nothing wrong with keeping your outfit simple. In fact sometimes simple is better. However, accessories can bring your outfit to the next level on that special occasion. 

1. Scrunchies

Scrunchies have made their come back, and it’s not the scrunchies our moms were wearing in the 80’s. Some scrunchies have huge bows on them or are just massive all on their own. They come in every color under the rainbow and then some. Scrunchies can serve as something you wear on your wrist only to add something to your outfit, or if it has a bow or something it will add something to your ponytail or bun. Either way, they have become a hit and can add something more to your outfit.

2. Bracelets

Bracelets can bring the most basic outfit to the next level. Bracelets are truthfully timeless. It could be something brand new or a favorite of yours that you grandma wore. Either way, if accessorized correctly it will look good. Bracelets are subtle enough to where they provide the right accent. However, if you want your bracelets to be the focal, never hesitate to wear multiple. Honestly, you can never really have too many bracelets. Bracelets are such a great accessory because there really is never a wrong time to wear them. You could be going out with your friends or running errands in biker shorts, even if it’s just one bracelet, it will still look good.

3. Earrings

Lets start off by saying, you can never have too many piercings. Piercings are absolutely beautiful. You could have them all the way up your cartilage to your conch to your tragus. They will still look good! Chain earrings have became popular lately same with the tiny huggy earrings. Earrings do not have to make sense either because each piercing is unique. There are a lot of aesthetics you can find for your earrings which will ensure you’re utilizing your accessory to the best of it’s ability. Earrings are so subtle but at the same time so so pretty. Especially if you have your hair pulled up in a ponytail or have it slicked back, your earrings will make your outfit that much more put together.

4. Rings

So simple yet at the same time can be so complicated. You could wear a ring on every finger if you wanted to and it could work. You could mismatch the colors, stack them, whatever you’re comfortable with. Rings are the best accessory to pull an outfit together. Especially if you’re going out and want to post a picture of you holding a drink or something where your hand will be the focal point of the photo, having at least one ring on will take that photo to the next level. Rings don’t have to be super fancy either, it could be one you found got off Amazon or a nice one you saved all your money for. Regardless, rings are a small yet beautiful accessory that anyone should have on daily. 

5. Sunglasses

Sunglasses are a necessity especially if you live somewhere that is constantly sunny so you wouldn’t think that they would be such a large part to your outfit. However, sunglasses can be a great statement piece. There are a multitude of sizes, colored frames, colored lenses, etc. that make sunglasses such a great accessory. One of the best parts of sunglasses is that you can wear them normally, wear them folded on your shirt, or on top of your head. They can be positioned strategically so that you make the most out of this accessory. 

6. Belts

Belts are another accessory that come in a wide variety. They serve a much needed purpose while completing your entire look. Belts can go from chic to being extremely gaudy and everything in between. No matter what though, they can have a huge impact on your outfit. Whether you’re in jeans or a dress, a belt can make or break an outfit. It is the perfect accessory where you don’t want it to be too much but just enough to fully bring your outfit together.

7. Purses

Everyone can agree that you can never have too many purses. They are such a statement piece and it is a must to have neutral purses but some that are also out of the box. Purses make outfits fun. They can be that touch of color or something so sleek and clean. There are many of  styles of purses that are trending now like the tiny shoulder bags or the belt bags. Or, if you want to keep it simple, you can never go wrong with a cross body bag or one of the tiny backpacks. A purse is such a versatile accessory, it can either be the finishing touch or your entire outfit is based around it. Nonetheless, they are an extremely important accessory.

8. Hats

Whether it’s one of the floppy hats or a trucker hat, hats can be the best accessory. You can pair a trucker hat with a pair of baggy jeans tank top and some Jordan Ones or with an oversized hoodie with a baggy tee. It is very street wear forward but can add so much to the overall vide of your outfit. If you wanted to go fancier than that’s when you bring out the floppy or circle brim hats. Hats can often times be an after thought, but majority of the time a hat can be the piece to your outfit you didn’t even know you needed.

9. Necklaces

Necklaces are another great accessory to spice up your outfit. It could be as simple as a small chain or multiple stacked. Necklaces are a good accent to add to an outfit because it can add so much while being so small at the same time. You could even get your bracelet and necklaces to much which would help keep your outfit cohesive.

10. Headbands

Headbands are also making a comeback. When you think of headbands you think of Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl. It is such a effortless accessory that can take your hair to the next level. They are so simple yet so elegant which is why they have become such a trendy accessory. 

11. Watches

Watches are a great accessory because they come in many different shapes and sizes. They could be so sleek and thin or as colorful as the rainbow. Watches are the type of accessory that adapts to you and your outfit. They are so subtle that at time they go unnoticed but if you’re in a pantsuit or something without sleeves they become a very classy accessory. If you are trying to avoid the upscale vibe a watch can bring than pairing it with bracelets can make the watch more fun.

12. Head Scarf

A head scarf is the type of accessory that makes your outfit more laid back and care free. When I think of head scarf being used I think of summer time and warm colors with a glow. They come in all sorts of beautiful patterns that can accent the most simple outfit.
