shopping4In the world of women’s clothing, there are many aspects and details to consider. An outfit is not just composed of a top, pants and shoes. It can be a series of layers, accessories, and statements. Everything is a detail that can express your style: color, pattern, texture, fabric, and material just to name a few. So how do you make accessories work with your outfit? Here are a few quick tips to follow when composing your next outfit.

Metallic items, such as gold or silver jewelry, gems, sequins, glitter, shimmer etc. should be kept to a minimum. This time of statement should be reserved for just one singular object, to become the focal point of your outfit. This keeps you from overdoing it. Just because sequins and glitter are both metallic and shiny, doesn’t mean they match, and doesn’t mean you should wear them together. This will prevent you from coming off as a disco ball.

Loud patterns should also be kept to a singular item maximum. If your top has a bright print, keep the bottoms to a neutral: black, white or grey. Red may be found in the pattern, and therefore seem as if it will match, but you might end up looking like a circus tent.
