Barbizon’s Guide to Accessories

You can’t be a wardrobe “fashionista” without the accessories to go with it.Here are some tips to help you put it all together from tips to toes:

  • Don’t wear jeans with pumps.

  • Experiment with a variety of belts.

  • Keep the focus on YOU, not your accessories. A little goes a long way.

  • Start your accessories wardrobe with the basics: A nice handbag, a few necklaces, several rings and bracelets, a watch, and some sunglasses. To build your collection, add pieces that fit your personality and the trends.

  • Use small handbags for evenings or other social gatherings. You don’t need to lug all of your stuff around.

  • Your shoes and handbag should coordinate, but they don’t have to be a perfect match.

  • Stay true to the style you want to achieve. Black leather cuffs will ruin an otherwise preppy look, for example.

  • If you don’t love, don’t wear it. Better yet, don’t buy it in the first place!
