10 Accessories to Style Any Outfit

Perhaps every fashionista is aware of the “fashion burnout” phenomenon when one runs out of ideas with outfits. Well, I have experienced it more than once and luckily found solace right in my accessory collection.

It’s just about picking the right pieces and you will surely be able to amp your style in the most effortless ways. Summer or winter, there are several accessories that can come to your rescue with even the most basic outfits such as your favourite LBD or comfy denim that you would want to take a notch higher. Here is my list of accessories that will always be your best friend (besides diamonds, of course!!) 🙂 when it comes to fashion.

Necklace – A statement necklace can instantly transform your look from casual to formal and add the oomph factor that you may just need to elevate even an ordinary ensemble. And you can choose a simple gold or silver chain for chic casual dressing. A beaded, layered necklace is another in-trend accessory for all occasions

Cap – A cap is a perfect accessory if you are looking for a piece that is fashionable and utilitarian at the same time. There is so much to explore with caps, from woolly pom poms and snug beanies in winters to classic fedoras and schoolboy hats in summers. And the best part is that most of the caps are not weather-specific which means that you will literally be spoilt for choice.

Sunglasses or Eyeglasses – How can you forget your favourite shades when it comes to amping up your style! Invest in a collection of sunglasses or eyeglasses that are just right for your face shape and you’ll surely have something to play with when accessorizing your outfits at any time of the year. You could opt for the retro-cat eye sunglasses, classic aviators or oversized shapes to complement your outfits and moods.

Footwear- Footwear is an accessory that can make or break your ensemble. So you should bear in mind what is in-trend and what looks good with your ensemble to nail the look. Shoes and boots make ideal winter companion while sandals and slippers are great for summer dressing. Wear heels or flats according to the occasion and you’ll be able to ace on your style quotient.

Handbags – Right now, the slick bucket bags are my hot favourite and I love them for the retro vibe they bring to just any outfit. You can pair your casual look with a sleek Hobo, a classic tote or a cool crossbody bag while a glittery clutch or a shimmering sling bag makes an ideal companion for a night-out ensemble.

Belts- A belt on your dresses or jeans can surely get you all the attention you deserve, besides the utility it offers. While a classic black patent leather will never go out of vogue, you can play with colours, widths and materials if you want to be more experimental with your look. And don’t forget to coordinate it with your footwear and handbag!

Earrings- The right earrings are perhaps the most foolproof way to add a punch to your casual and formal dressing. Stock up on hoops, studs and danglers and you’ll definitely have something or the other every time you feel like going an extra mile to look stylish.

Watch- Watch your watch because it surely has the potential to take your casual and formal dressing to the next level. I recommend adding the staples like a leather strap watch, one with a gold chain and a studded one to your collection because these will have you covered for casual, formals and holiday accessorizing.

Hair Accessories- Hair accessories are the favourite part of accessory shopping because I always find something that I fall in love with and still does not cost a fortune. I love to wear the studded hairpins on parties while the pretty bows and bands are reserved for casual outings.

Rings- Though you wouldn’t think much about rings when it comes to amping up your style, they actually have a lot to do with power dressing. For me, the right ring can be an attention grabber. Of course, you will have your wedding or engagement ring on, but you can slip on a large statement piece to have all eyes on you.

Do experiment with your accessories and you’ll surely be able to nail the look like a trendy diva!

5 Must Have Accessories To Be Winter Ready by Franchetti Bond

Its sweater weather time with the dropping temperatures. But just because you find yourself wrapped up and bundled in layers of fabric doesn’t mean that you can’t make it look chic. Trade in your boring turtleneck sweater this season for some stylish accessories.  Spruce up your winter wardrobe by stocking up on the warmest, chicest accessories for winter fashion this season.

Caps: Beanie is a perfect combo of sexy and cute. It’s a great pick for staying toasty all winter because they come in just about every colour, pattern or material. You can go for a knitted slouchy beanie or a structured one. Feeling playful, go for a beanie with little pom-pom detailing at the top, like the Calindra Black Fur Pom Pom Beanie Hat Top of Form

Scarf: This is the most versatile cover-up in your winter accessories wardrobe. You can use them to keep yourself warm and stay fashionable at the same time. Scarves can completely transform your outfit. Turn a regular tee and jeans combo into something chicer by pairing it with a vibrant scarf. Invest in a vibrant blanket scarf like the Blonda Orange Wool Wrap With Pom Pom from Franchetti Bond to add a pop of colour to your outfit and the gloomy winter weather. You can even use this to create a structured outfit by wrapping it around your shoulders and belting it at the waist.

Boots: They are a great way to keep your feet warm in the snow and are an easy way to add some extra layer of heat and flair of fun to your outfit. I love statement boots like the beautiful knee-high boots from our stretch-boot collection from Franchetti Bond this season. Knee-high length creates a clean fit and elongated silhouette. They can easily be styled with skirts or skinnies for a sophisticated style.

Gloves: Classic leather gloves are a winter must-have. This season go for a smart and elegant winter accessory to keep your hands warm. You can also go for gloves with a fun fur pom-pom detailing twist for a perfect winter accessory. There are so many different styles of gloves available to suit your needs. From a variety of colours to materials the choices are endless.

Bag: Since the temperature keeps fluctuating throughout the day you need to carry on some extra cover-ups to keep yourself warm. Invest in a tote bag to carry all your essentials this winter. Be it a scarf or a book you plan to read at the coffee shop later. Tote bags are fashionable and practical at the same time. The constructed Lina bag by Franchetti Bond in soft black leather is beautifully designed with a smart woven finish. The tan handles give the bag a two-tone look which will pair effortlessly with your winter black staples. Throw on this bag over your favourite coat or jacket for a smart daytime look.

I got all my winter essentials from Franchetti Bond. The brand is a one-stop destination for all your winter fashion needs. The designs in their collection have a timeless elegance with a modern twist. So twist up your winter wardrobe with some of these vibrant timeless pieces and layer up in style this season.
