We’re fast approaching the colder months and as a result, it’s time to rethink how we accessorise. Many accessories tend to be better suited to the warmer months, from stacking bracelets and necklaces that might now be hidden under a scarf, through to your rings that are hidden by gloves and delicately layered tops that need to be covered up with a coat.
Of course, you’ll still benefit from stunning accessories underneath, however you want to create breathtaking outfits that are unique and well styled even when a big coat is involved! So, we’re here with some tips on how to still finish your outfits to perfection with accessories, even when you are dressed for winter. Adding just a few accessories to your collection can not only be exciting, but it’s also an opportunity for you to mix up the clothes you already have, so your wardrobe will feel like it’s had a stunning refresh all round!
Gloves and Rings
Firstly, just because you’re wearing a pair of gloves, it doesn’t mean you have to keep your rings at home! Originally seen in the royal family, rings and bracelets were worn over silk or lace gloves for formal events, and luckily, the style has now been pushed through to fashion capitals around the world, particularly the colder ones! So, get yourself a pair of stylish gloves, whether it’s insulated leather ones or cosy wool ones, then choose a few costume rings that are slightly larger in size, so they will fit over your glove. This might just be on one or two fingers, but if you’re heading somewhere in the cold and still want to look stylish, this is a great way to do it. From Christmas Markets in Europe through to rooftop drinks under the stars in London, this is a stunning way to accessorise.
Belts Over Coats
Next up, you can also wear your belts over your coats! This works particularly well for oversized blazers or long wool coats, especially if you want to add a bit of shape to the overall silhouette of your outfit. This could be belts out of your wardrobe, or you could get some more statement belts that are specifically to go over your coats. If you prefer a more sleek and simple look, go for a classic black, tan or cream oversized belt. If you’re wanting to add something a bit dramatic to more simple nude or black coats, why not add a pop of colour with a burnt orange or an animal print belt. You could even use a silk scarf to tie around your waist for that extra detail. This is simple but so effective in bringing an autumn look to life.
Boots and Bags
When you’re layering with big coats, two things that do the talking for your outfit are boots and bags. Wearing a warm outfit can be more simple, but you can instantly transform the look with the right bag and boots. Similarly to the coats, if you’ve got a more simple look, then a warm burgundy bag and boot combo can work wonderfully. Simple black boots and a bag is always a timeless look, then you could always go more bold with your scarf. Knee high boots are also a stunning way to command attention whilst also being practical and warm, a great hack to keep you warm in winter! A short jumper dress, knee high boots and tights creates an effortless look every time. With the right boots and bag in your wardrobe, any outfit can instantly be transformed!
Ear Stacks
Last but not least, we’ve got ear stacks! When the rest of your jewellery is likely covered, unless it’s very very cold and you’re wearing a hat, then your earrings can do the talking. Whether you get yourself some flat back earrings for your piercings, you choose some statement huggie hoops to mix and match or you have a complete overhaul of your earring collection, this is a great way to accessorise, especially if you’ve chosen an up-do that day! Pair these up with your personalised bracelets and necklaces for a stunning jewellery look.
