One of the cardinal rules of fashion is this: no outfit is complete without appropriate accessories. If you think you can’t be bothered with picking and matching all the little details every single time you go out, you are looking at it the wrong way. Accessories make or break the outfit, and it’s actually much easier to change them around if you have a few of the essential items. Imagine this – a plain black dress. Boring, right? Well now imagine the same dress paired with a red scarf and a chunky bracelet. Instantly, you managed to turn something plain and unnoticeable into something eye-catching and fun. If you want to be ready for any opportunity, get a few basic items that will make anything you wear look more stylish.

1)    Huge handbag

Something that every single girl needs is a big, practical bag. Tiny handbags are great if you’re going to the club and don’t need to pack more than your phone and your lipstick, but you need something bigger for every day. The bag doesn’t necessarily need to be black or brown, it all depends on your style and the kind of clothes you wear on a daily basis. Feel free to pick something in your favorite color, just as long as you can put all the stuff that you need in it.

2)    Basic earrings

Having a bunch of crazy, colorful earring is encouraged, but sometimes we need to go back to basics. Trends are a little different around the world, for example, women are opting for classic earrings in Australia this year. It’s a good example to follow, because basic does not mean boring. There’s no need to look like a Christmas tree every time you go out. Elegance lies in simplicity and the right earrings will bring attention to your face. A pair of simple, beautiful earrings is something any woman should own, because they are versatile and they’ll accentuate both your clothes and your makeup.

3)    Wide belt

An easy way to instantly make a dress or a shirt look more interesting is to add a nice, wide belt. This will define your waist and in turn make your figure sexier. Make sure that the belt is comfortable and doesn’t cinch you too tightly, because this will only make you look strained and it might affect your breathing. It’s not a corset, it should hug your waist, but not constrict it.

4)    Silk scarf

A beautiful, flowy scarf is something that will make you look elegant and sophisticated. Pick something silken that will feel nice on your skin and experiment with the ways you can wear it. In Australia, women wear scarves as wraps for their bathing suits. This looks great, though something other than silk is recommended, as sand and salty water can damage this delicate material. Either solid colors or patterns can work, so pick something that you really like. Wear it often, because it’s sexy when a woman has a statement accessory that she’s known for.

5)    Big sunglasses

There’s no quicker way to make yourself look cool and mysterious than putting on a pair of shades. It’s always good to have them in your bag so you could protect yourself from the glaring sun now that the warmer days are coming. In case you don’t like big sunglasses, get something more classical, like aviators, or even the round-shaped Lenons, if this is something that matches your style.

6)    Comfy pair of flats

Heels are insanely sexy and great when you’re going out in the evening, but for your everyday comfort, it’s probably best to stick to a different kind of shoes. Flats are always trendy in spring and summer and you should own a few pairs in bright colours. A lot of women have a pair of scrunch flats in their bag when they’re going clubbing and their feet get tired from stilettos. This is not a bad idea because, after all, who wants to quit and go home in the middle of the dancing floor just because their feet hurt?

In order to look chic and interesting there’s no need to wear insane cuts of clothing. Sticking to basic shapes that suit your body type is a much better idea. Get something that’s tailored to you, and to make the outfit stylish, use accessories. That’s what they’re for anyway, to bring fun to clothing.
