Accessories to See You Through the Winter
The winter season and the fashion world sometimes are hard to combine: heavy monochrome coats and a cold wind often makes us just wanna ignore how good-looking we can be.
But there are ways to effortlessly look fashionable even when you just wish you were going out wrapped in your blanket, and the answer, as always, is: accessories! For the new decade approaching, the fashion world dictates some really interesting trends and it’s all about proud and bold pieces.
Heavyweight Boots
If this winter has any battles planned for you, a pair of combat-like boots is what you need to look for. Get yourself a big and loud lug-sole, just as seen in the 2019 Autumn-Winter Prada’s runway, but keep the rest of the boot fairly simple. Combine it with long winter dresses or your favourite pair of black jeans and proudly wear them at any time of the day.
Crossbody Bags
The smaller, the better! Look out for mock-snake leather and get inspired by your dark chocolate and whiskey when choosing the colour palette, it’s going to give you sophistication and charisma. Keep it simple and elegant choosing a thin, long bag belt, or - for an extra touch - aim for a bold, thick strap with a pattern design or a strong colour.
Jewellery
If you thought the chain chokers belonged only to 90’s rappers, you were wrong. Get yourself one right now - a chunky and gold or thin and silver, alone or matched with other necklaces - and combine it with cashmere sweaters as well as your favourite crispy white shirt. If chains are not your game and you’re more of a classy lady, pears earrings are going to be your choice. Decorate and brighten yourself up with beautiful and complex pearls jewels. You can also consider a matching set of earrings, necklace and hairband.
Belts
This season is craving belts. If you have one that’s waiting to be worn since the ‘80 well, it’s time to dust it off because that’s the one you want to wear. Over your coat as a statement accessory, or on your jeans combined with a plain sweater, a statement buckle will let everybody understand that you know a thing or two about fashion. Otherwise, get yourself one of those wonderful belt bags for a practical and yet really stylish look.
Headbands
If you’re not feeling like wearing your beanie this year - which if you do, combine it with a jewellery piece attached to it - you must get yourself a headband, and make it count. Choose vintage, with complex patterns, puffy or decorated with some pearls for an extra classy look. It might not keep you warm, but it will make your whole outfit look fabulous!
Don’t forget all the goodness the 60’s, ’70s and ’80s had to offer, and implement them in your wardrobe, and be ready to shine and rise into the new decade being strong, proud and shamelessly yet elegantly loud.
