Ah fall. It’s amazing how subtly cooler days and breezy nights instantly
make you want to shake up your wardrobe. Even little changes make a big
statement. For a quick wardrobe update, accessories are the way to go.
Check out these five must have accessories for fall.
Hosiery
We’re not talking about your mother’s pantyhose. Hosiery trends have come
a long way in recent years. Show off your shapely legs without revealing
too much skin in a refined pair of opaque tights. Deep jewel tones like
plum and blue are fall favorites, look great on many complexions and are
still refined enough to be worn in corporate settings. If bold colored
tights aren’t your cup of tea, textured tights are a great option for
those who prefer a neutral color palette but still want to add interest to
their look. Thigh high socks are also huge this fall and winter. A fun and
fresh look, pair with shorts, skirts and even little shift dresses for a
bit of whimsy.
The key to pulling off bold tights is pairing them with a look that allows
them to shine, but not be overwhelming. When wearing a patterned pair of
tights, stick to a simple color palette and avoid wearing garments with
obtrusive prints that will clash with your tights.
Fringe Handbags
A supple leather bag with fringe details is a harmonious marriage of
sleekness and bohemia - and a hot trend for fall and winter 2010. A
throwback to the 60s and 70s, hippie chic is an understatement for these
attention grabbing bags that many designer lines, including Prada have
refined. Fringe bags come in a myriad of shapes from large over the
shoulder hobos to small flap front clutches. To avoid bulk, stick to
styles with just one to two rows of fringe.
Hats
Bad hair days be gone. Adorable toppers are a hit this season, so much so
hat you’ll be dying to wear them even when your hair is at its best. Pack
up your straw fedora and slip on a cozy knit beret as the weather cools
down. For the ultimate ladylike look, 1920s cloche style hats a la
Angelina Jolie in Changeling are divine. Cloche, the French word for bell,
frames your face and is perfect for those who rock a straight hairstyle or
a chic short bob. For the true fashionista who is open to making bold
statements - a quirky bowler hat or turban quickly dials up any outfit’s
style quotient. A great hat instantly sets you apart from the crowd.
Batik Scarfs
Scarves, the little accessory that could. There are a myriad of ways to
wear a great scarf - from intricate wrapping techniques to loosely draped
around the neck. Tribal inspired batik scarfs are a chic way to add a pop
of color to a monochromatic outfit or interest and personality to a simple
jeans and tee shirt look. Because scarves are worn so close to the face,
wearing colors that best complement your complexion make for highly
flattering looks. Remember to keep it simple. Even the best scarf cannot
save a bad outfit and adding on an overly bulky scarf will only make you
look like you’re chocking yourself. When done right, scarves add warmth
and color to your look.
Statement Earrings
Bold, architecturally inspired earrings make a great focal accessory.
Fashion is all about the statement piece - statement shoes, statement bag,
and even the statement necklace. However, bold “look at me” earrings -
worn so close to the face instantly steal the show. Even the most simple
outfits get kicked up ten notches with a pair of spectacular over-sized
earrings. Remember to stick with lightweight options to avoid damaging
delicate earlobes. Whatever your style - there is a perfect pair to suit
your fancy.
In the world of fashion, little changes go a long way. Experiment with
just one of these fun fall must-haves to update your look and wait for the
compliments to start rolling in.
