Accessories Street Style: Finishing Touches

Twelve key accessories that will give your wardrobe an instant update.
By Celia L. Smith with Photography · Updated October 28, 2020
01
A Cool Bag

A handbag can completely transform a look. This doesn’t have to be the hot bag of the moment. In fact, the more standout the style is, the better.

Oversized Sunglasses

Thanks to paparazzi-stalked celebs, oversized shades add instant glam factor to your outfit no matter how casual.

Striking Scarf

For each new way you wear a scarf it lends a completely different vibe. Experiment with twisting and tying for a new look.

Mad Hatter

Top it off with a hat. It creates a menswear sense of cool or church-chic elegance, depending on the style.

Pile It On

The more necklaces, the merrier. Variations will make that same shirt you wore last week look completely different today.

Tie up a turban for bohemian glamour or simply to masque a bad hair day.
