Jackets

Everybody either has a jean jacket or a leather jacket sitting around in their closet. A distressed jean jacket can always adds some character to an outfit, while a classic black bomber can offer an edge to your look of the day. However, when you start rocking a pink or a yellow jacket, that’s when you start getting noticed. As we step into Fall 2017, turn to a pastel pink trench coat to bring a much-needed pop of colour to your ensemble.

Bags

No matter where you’re headed, you always need a bag to carry your essentials. In fact, a functional and sophisticated leather handbag is always a great idea. If you’re somebody who usually wears neutral colours, then adding a red purse can instantly brighten up your neutral wardrobe. For those who prefer basic black or brown, try looking for a bag with intricate and eye-catching details such as precious stones, fancy prints, studs,  chains or fringe.

Jewellery 

For those who love bling and embellishment,  jewellery can bring new life to your classic off-shoulder blouse or solid shirtdress. Whether you prefer to wear necklaces, bracelets, earrings or rings, jewellery is clearly the easiest way to dress up your look . If you’re not somebody who prefers huge dangling necklaces, shoulder-dusting earrings, or chunky bracelets, then you can layer minimalistic necklaces as an alternative. You can turn your rings into necklaces by placing them on a thin metallic chain.

Scarves

Scarves are great additions to an outfit no matter the season.  You can use scarves that are made with lightweight fabric around the neck and easily transform them into a choker, or even use a printed scarf as a headband. To liven up a boring basic handbag, try knotting a scarf around the handle of the purse.

Shoes

While it’s not necessary to go on a shopping spree for a new pair of designer shoes, you do want to walk away with high quality footwear which will last you seasons to come. To bring visual interest to your fashion, try stepping out in lace-up sandals or unique patterns such as leopard prints. From boyfriend jeans to skirts, a pair of statement heels just might be the sartorial solution that you have been looking for.
