Chunky accessorizing

As eclectic fashion has grown in popularity, so, too, have accessories. They have acquired new meaning that places them at the top when styling an outfit.

Accessory fever is not going anywhere. It’s contagious, and designers, big retailers and boutiques have understood its impact on clothing. As in past decades, these adornments have once again been recognized as essential to an array. They are the ultimate tool when styling and have the ability to turn around any outfit.

Today’s fashion rage calls for audacious chunky pieces that can make a statement. Bold accessories are totally in-trend. Statement watches, necklaces, bracelets and earrings can only go so far in your fashion arsenal. The rest is left to the wide variety of styles out there. You can find pendants, chokers, eardrops, ear studs, hoops, cuffs, and bangles, to name just a few. Finishes such as bright and matte gold, rose gold and silver further multiply the options. Truth be told, with Vegas’ enviable retail, the diversity of styles and prices is endless.

Other accessories such as chunky belts and clutches amplify the alternatives. These, too, have the ability to modify and complete a style to make it look more interesting. Nonetheless, when accessorizing, what matters the most is to always choose according to your style. Whether you have a bohemian vibe and want to use Indian- inspired bangles or if you like hip hop-inspired glam and prefer a heavy chain link necklace, select accessories that go with your personality and outfit. Select colors and finishes that either complement what you are wearing or make your outfit pop.

Get creative and use bold, colorful accessories as they can boost a simple tee or complement the most elegant blouse. To achieve this, don`t hesitate to stack old and new pieces. It is a fun and trendy way to build an interesting look. Apply it to necklaces and rings for a chunky fashion edge and to easily build a statement style.

Be careful, though, accessories are a strong weapon to play with, but their double-edge nature insists that you use them wisely. The trick to sporting big, bold pieces lies in styling them in a way that brings out your features and clothes rather than overpowering you. Keep your body features in mind when choosing. If you are petite, you might go for body-elongating accessories such as a thick pendant or use a big necklace if you have a long neck.

With the warmer weather, now the perfect time to bare some skin and show off great styles. Enjoy giving your ensemble a boost with some chunky and bold additions.
