Does Your Outfit Need Something Else?

When an outfit needs ‘something else’, it usually means that a little bit of bling, shine, or embellishment is missing. It’s a good problem to have – if an outfit looks good but could be great, you’ve already mixed and matched your wardrobe very well! However, if you’re looking in the mirror right now and thinking there just isn’t enough ‘oomph’ on display, these are the kinds of accessories you should add.

A Necklace

A necklace is never a bad accessory. Adding one to an outfit is super easy and will always work, even if your collarbone is already drawing attention. However, you’ll know for sure if a necklace is missing from your current outfit coordination if nothing is going on around the neck. If you’ve got exposed skin there and nothing else, add a necklace. If there’s only a pair of earrings between your head and the bangle around your wrist, add a necklace. It always works! 

A Bag

Are you taking a bag out with you? If not, pop one on your shoulder just for the look! A bag adds a bit of dimension to an outfit, and certainly provides a lot more storage than just your jean pockets. Having a lovely stratford crossbody bag strapped around you makes it much easier to keep your hands free throughout the day! 

As such, if your outfit feels a bit subtle, definitely add a bag. It doesn’t need to be ‘roomy’ or be too heavy to carry; just something that has a little room for your purse and essential toiletries is just fine. 

A Hat

Hats can be very practical additions to any outfit. If it’s sunny outside, they provide UV protection. If it’s lightly raining, they protect your hair from getting too wet. But aside from this, they can also add an element of drama that may be sorely missing from your outfit right now. 

And if you don’t usually wear hats, investing in a couple for those days when you really want to look your best will ensure you catch everyone’s attention. Hats don’t get the attention they deserve in the modern world of fashion, but the more you wear one, the less you’ll believe you ever went out without one. 

A Belt

Belts are good for all outfits, but they’re especially good if you’re wearing something long or otherwise oversized. Not only do they cinch in the waist and turn the piece into something chic, but they make your outfit look neater and more involved. if you’re worried people will think you’ve just thrown on an old t-shirt, this is the accessory to fix it! If you’re going for more of a gothic look, get a waist cincher for your wardrobe instead. 

Does your outfit need something else? If it suffers from any of the problems we mentioned above, we would definitely recommend adding a little something! If you want to look good and feel good at the same time, make accessories your ‘thing’.
