Accessories Street Style: Upgrade You

Twelve finishing touches to step your look up a notch.

By Celia L. Smith · February 20, 2014October 27, 2020
01
Brooches

Brooches are a girl’s best friend. Sporting a plain shirt, or a wide lapel coat that’s feeling bare? Or just need to add extra umph to a hat? Fill that void with a brooch.

Hannan Saleh
02
Fur Vest

The fur vest adds a whole new layer of chic on top of a coat, but when worn inside with jeans and a T-shirt, it’s definitely an extra bit of fab.

Hannan Saleh
03
Pattern Scarf

The French have been doing it forever –– why? Because a swing of a scarf adds an effortless touch to whatever you’re wearing.

Hannan Saleh
04
Pointed Flats

Flats finally earn their cool points this season while sharpening your style.

Hannan Saleh
05
The Choker

A metal plated choker over a collar or turtleneck transforms simple style to polished sci-fi fashion.

Hannan Saleh
06
A Cool Cap

Tone down a fancy ensemble with a tomboy touch that adds an element of cool.

Hannan Saleh
07
Neon Kicks

Add an extra kick to your look when you throw neon bright sneakers into the equation.

Hannan Saleh
08
Wild Card Clutch

A basic black clutch has got nothing on a bold bag. Stripes or flashy metallics can make or break a look.

Hannan Saleh
09
Bag Charms

They may seem like nothing more than toys, but these hanging fur, charms and trinkets personalize your look to make your “it” bag stand out from the rest.

Hannan Saleh
10
Bright Gloves

Every neutral needs a splash of color, so whether it’s a trench coat or classic pea coat inject a bit of vibrancy into your look with a gaudy glove.

Hannan Saleh
11
Men’s Tie

The one accessory that has the power to make a crisp button-up shirt look next level chic, is a tie. nothing says polished and pulled together better than this accessory, so don’t be afraid to borrow from the boy.

12
Fur Hat

A fur hat lends an instantly luxe feel to whatever you’re wearing.
