This is how you combine accessories with clothing

Clothes can be the biggest part of an outfit, but accessories are more important than you think. Accessories are the perfect way to style your outfit, but they can also make or break your look. But what goes best with which outfit? When choosing fashion accessories for your outfit, consider the color and style of the items and keep the occasion in mind.

The color
When you wear black, white or other neutral colors, accessories in any color look stylish. If you are wearing a colorful outfit, make sure your accessories are not contradictory. Experiment to determine which colors suit you best. It is better not to use too many colors in your entire outfit.

The style and the occasion
Accessories emphasize your personal style, taste and preferences. They also offer endless possibilities for outfits so you can make the most of every item you own. Just like clothing, certain accessories are suitable for certain occasions. For example, you can wear the same outfit for three different occasions but make a change by simply focusing on accessories. A white shirt and jeans or a simple black dress can look completely different depending on your handbag, shoes, jewelry, watch and other accessories.

For example, let's take a very simple outfit:a white blouse and jeans. With accessories, you can wear this simple outfit on different occasions. For a day of shopping and lunch with your girlfriends, you can accessorize with bold, colorful details, a crossbody bag and a pair of leather boots. To wear this outfit to work, you can opt for ballet flats, a pearl necklace, a narrow belt, a scarf and a leather handbag in a neutral color. For an informal evening out, wear this outfit with a pair of pumps, a clutch, narrow rings and elegant earrings. A watch should of course not be missing as an accessory, and with Festina watches you are always in the right place. These are both sporty and elegant, and go well with any outfit. You can find these and more watches at Horloge.nl.

So to look your best, you should put as much effort into selecting your accessories as you do the main components of your outfit.
