4 Accessory Must-Haves (and the styles to get)

A key part of feeling put together is looking put together. And a key part of looking put together is having the right basics and accessories. Start with these four accessories, and you’re off to a good start.

Watch

A watch can be worn with just about anything - bonus, it's an accessory you most likely already have in your possession. Still, if you're looking to upgrade your timepiece for everyday wear, there are many options available at affordable prices. And since there are hundreds of models to choose from, consider using this as an opportunity to invest in something unique like a vintage piece, for example. And if in doubt, a classic gold or silver metal face complemented by a leather or metal wristband will always look classy and timeless. Consider looking at diamond bracelets for women to make your watch stand out even more!

Sunglasses

Sunglasses are another must-have accessory that can really tie together an outfit and add that finishing touch. From designer to drugstore, a good pair of sunnies will always give your ensemble more personality. There are so many different shapes and styles of sunglass frames available on the market today. Matrix-inspired sunnies are all the rage and aren’t going anywhere soon. But neither are classics like cat-eye or aviator-style shades with dark lenses. Bonus - sunglass styles know no age and can be a great way to indulge in something a little more funky than your everyday style - so have fun!

Heels

The nice thing about heels is that they can be worn with anything. And they’re a great way to add a few inches in height as well, which can really help out with a hemline. When it comes to stilettos, we suggest keeping them simple yet sharp. A classic black pump will never go out of style, for example. Just make sure the heel isn't so high that you won't be able to walk comfortably! And don’t forget that even a 1/2 inch in heel can pull together a look, so you’re definitely not limited to stilettos. If you’re more of a casual person, opt for a low, chunky heel for an instant style upgrade that you can still walk in comfortably.

Belt

A sturdy leather belt can be worn to cinch the waist on an oversized dress, top, sweater, or skirt and instantly give you more of an hourglass shape. They’re a great way to make what is in your closet new again, simply by tweaking the silhouette. If you want to get a little daring, you can even try layering a sweater or blazer over a dress or tee and belting it all together.
