Tips on accessorising

No matter what you're wearing, good accessories can help you stand out from the crowd.Tips: 1. You can never have too many shoes. Just changing your shoes can totally change the look of an outfit.2. High heels will make you taller and create the illusion of longer legs. Even a one-inch heel will do wonders yet still allow you to be comfortable.3. Your trousers should be long enough to fall to the bottom of the heels of your shoes.4. Handbags are a great way of jazzing up an outfit. Spend as much as you can afford and keep your eyes peeled for classic leather bags that never go out of fashion.5. A funky evening bag is a simple way to change your daytime look for a night out.6. Remember your handbag doesn’t have to match your shoes – be as expressive as you like.7. Scarves can really transform an outfit and are great at redirecting attention from the body to the face. If you’re an older lady wear them instead of polo necks. They don’t just add colour to an outfit; they can also instantly brighten the face.8. Belts that are very tight or very wide should be avoided whatever your body size. Narrow belts work well on most body types but especially if you are bustier or have a smaller frame.9. With jewellery think about balance: if you’re going to wear a big necklace wear only small stud earrings or none at all.10. Don’t mix big earrings with a big necklace.11. If you’re petite, choose smaller pieces of jewellery that won’t make you look too busy and cluttered on top.12. Finally, if you like wearing a lot of jewellery you’re better of with multiples – an armful of bracelets, a swathe of chains rather than one of each.This AOL Show Me story was created with thanks to Pink Green, The Soho Hotel and Lindsay Campbell at My Star Style.
