Complete your look with these latest must-have accessories
What is an accessory? The World Wide Web defines it as “A small article or item of clothing carried or worn to complement a garment or outfit” It can be your jewelery, scarf or shoes.
Not only do accessories enhance a look but they also help to express one’s unique personality.
When it comes to accessorizing, women seem to have an added advantage over their opposite sex. Nevertheless, don’t underestimate the modern man who has his fair share of style options today! With the ever changing trends, the ultimate question is what is stylish right now? And how can we wear them? Read on to find out:
Women
Cuff and Chain me!
Don’t you think it’s time we ditched those cheap eBay-deal necklaces that have bronze Eiffel towers and hearts on them? Every woman loves Paris but showing it symbolically is not exactly an attractive choice anymore. Instead, why not embrace the spirit of a fashionable Frenchwoman! Exude sophistication by wearing a chunky gold chain necklace with a crisp white shirt and tailored pants to work. Gold cuff bracelets are fast becoming a modern classic and they go with almost every outfit. Style a jewel encrusted cuff bracelet with a black outfit for dressier events.
Queen of Rings
If you love nail art then this trend is definitely for you! Stack layers of rings at different levels and match them with your manicure. Play with sizes and colour, try chunky rings and dainty ones or gold and silver. Iris Apfel, a legendary stylist once said “More is more, less is a bore!” So be adventurous and stack them all!
It’s a flat world after all!
Heels are history, designer brands are going for flat soles today. Oscar de la Renta, Dolce & Gabbana are among the many who have embraced the flat trend. Go for chic ballet shoes in pastel hues with feminine flower or rhinestone details. A sleek black pointy one to work is practical yet chic. Try this guilt free trend and say bye-bye to sore feet!
Men
ID please
Maldivian men are quick to embrace trends and men’s bracelets or wrist wear is a trend that has been welcomed whole heartedly. But some of us get carried away by over accessorizing this jewelry. The key lies in minimalism. Metal ID bracelets are a favorite, sported by iconic actors like James Dean. Pair a slim silver number with your favorite t-shirt and jeans for a stylish look.
Stylishly Strapped!
Its summer in Maldives all year round and most of us wear flip flops or sandals 90% of the time (except at work!) So owning a pair of stylish sandals is a must. Go for a leather look with straps and buckle fastenings. Dolce and Gabbana’s tied up sandals with a wooden heel is the perfect pair for every man.
