A well-chosen accessory can be enough to elevate an outfit from good to great. Anyone can express their identity through fashion, but the creative ability to put together accessories and outfits that are fashion forward and suit your style can be a difficult skill to learn. For example, what accessories can be worn is often determined by different seasons and fashion trends. However, some accessories are classic staples that every woman should have:
-
1. Handbags
A woman’s handbag can make or break her look. These accessories come in a variety of different types, shapes, and sizes; so far, there are over 25 types of women’s handbags that you can choose from, including evening bags, sling bags, wristlets, backpacks, and so on. If all these options overwhelm you, however, don’t worry—there are only four essential handbags that you really need to accessorize perfectly for all functions. These are an oversized bag, a tote, a clutch, and a crossbody or sling bag.

2. Sunglasses
Over the years, sunglasses have risen in popularity among women of all ages. Sunglasses are the perfect balance between practicality and fashion. After all, sunglasses are not just a fashion statement accessory. They also act as protective gear against ultraviolet sun rays, which are dangerous to the eyes. Furthermore, they shield the delicate skin around the eyes against dust, wind, and harsh sun rays. At the same time, the glasses give you a trendy and cool look to match your personality and bring your outfit together.

3. Belts
A woman’s belt can show sophistication and glamor, and, lately, belts have become a go-to accessory for most women. While belts can come in different shapes, sizes, and materials, leather belts are particularly sturdy and popular. The main quality that makes the belt a go-to fashion accessory is its versatility. You can wear a belt with a variety of different outfits, including trousers, dresses, shorts, and oversized t-shirts, to add some extra flair or even just to cinch in the waist of the outfit, giving yourself a nice shape.

4. Colorful or patterned tights
Colorful or patterned tights are a great accessory for women who love to show off their personality through their fashion and style. However, most people find colored or patterned tights intimidating, especially if they do not know how to style them. If you want to try this trend, you can start by wearing dull colored tights and advance into more flashy colors with time, or, alternatively, you can pair your colorful tights with black outfits to create a fun contrast. Colorful tights have a way of turning a boring outfit into a fashion statement.

5. Classic or statement jewelry
Nothing screams feminine beauty, charm, and strength like a piece of beautiful statement jewelry. Whether you prefer a choker, statement earrings, a bracelet, a statement necklace, or even a classic pendant, your jewelry is a great way to express your personality and elevate even your most plain outfits. Most people prefer to stick with either silver or gold accessories, but don’t be afraid to collect a mix of both and throw some rose gold in there for good measure. Match your jewelry with your unique style.
