Accessorizing your outfits during the winter season is pretty easy; you just have to add a scarf, throw on a leather jacket and pair it with some boots; the options are endless. However, summertime has its set of rules that come with shedding a batch of clothes rather adding more. It's that time of the year when you hate everything in your closet and feel like nothing suits the weather. Fashion freaks will probably hit the stores for some new sundresses.
But, the hard times don't always allow you to splurge just for summer apparel. The most economical way to look good during summer is to accessorize simply and accent your dresses/shirts to bring out a different look. Sure, a combination of some shorts and a simple t-shirt is comfortable but often feels too dull and missing something. a few add-ons take an outfit from okay to wow.
Big and chunky statement necklaces (mostly gold) and some of your favorite arm candy are a great way to emphasize an outfit. Big statement necklaces take the focus of the dress and onto the accessories; the dress becomes just a background focus. So, whether you like neon, crystals or floral accents make big necklaces part of the accessories you use this summer. A simple black summer dress, for example, blends in with a bright necklace such as orange, gold or pink. Save silver necklaces for winter ensemble.
A trendy belt is a great way to cinch up a dull (mostly white) summer dress. It not only livens up the dress but also adds a bit of originality to the dress. A corset belt, thin leather wrap-around belt or a silk scarf helps slim your waist and bring out a different look at the same time. Don't forget to carry your favorite novel and summer essentials in an oversize bag (an excellent fashion add-on for summer).
A pair of bright flats or heels helps take attention away from your dress to your leg which is an excellent way to show off during summer. Try a pairing a white or black dress with a bright or red pair of heels with straps. Anything that allows your shoes stand out without making the entire look feel too busy works.
An awesome pair of sunglasses completes your outfit. According to most fashion experts, it is the most important fashion accessory during summer. Butterfly shaped and cat-eye sunglasses are in style this summer.
Remember it is all about standing out from the crowd.
