We’ve already hit you with the must-have accessories for men, but what do the ladies need to elevate any ensemble? There are several essential staples every fashionista should be stocked upon. If you don’t own them already, here’s your next excuse to go shopping! Let’s start from head to toe, shall we?
- Hats – Few other accessories can pull an outfit together as effectively as a hat can. Consider it the cherry on top!
- Panama hat: Essential for all your boho vibes and Instagram bragging rights, a panama hat is an influencer’s BFF—that’s why you’ll see tons of them at music festivals, wine tastings, and all those be-seen moments!
- Baseball cap: We love the Dad hat oh-so much because it lends an all-American chic aesthetic and pairs perfectly with classic blue jeans, making simple outfits so much cuter.
- Beanie: Even though you’ll only pull this guy out for half the year, fall and winter just aren’t the same without a cozy knit beanie that gives your OOD a rustic edge.
- Headbands – An accessory that can help tame bad hair days and take your outfit up a notch? Um, yes please!
- Lace band: Keep locks pulled back with a lacey headband the next time you feel like adding a dose of dainty femininity to your outfit.
- Silk scarf: We love this accessory because of how versatile it is! Pull your hair back and tie it at the nape of your neck, throw it up into a messy bun and use it to smooth down stubborn fly-aways, or knot it in a bow to make any ponytail so much prettier. You can also wear it as a bandana, bonnet, handkerchief, belt, or scarf depending on your sense of style! Have we sold you yet?
- Scrunchies – Hello 90s! Thee guys were a fan favorite back then and not much has changed since. They allow you to be lazy and throw your hair up while still looking adorable. Choose between velvet pastels, earthy corduroys, and so much more.
- Hair Clips & Barrettes – Another blast from the past, channel your inner Amanda Bynes with clips that add a little extra flair to your hair. From glitter to butterflies, the options are endless!
- Sunglasses – A woman and her sunnies go hand-in-hand, so make sure you always have a pair (or two) stashed in your purse. Considering the epic discounts that you can find on sunglasses; we think picking up a few different styles is completely reasonable!
- Earrings – It’s all about details, so while earrings may be subtle, they’re super significant! Wear demure studs for a touch of sparkle or dangly chandeliers when you’re looking to really turn heads!
- Lip Gloss – Okay, technically lip gloss is considered makeup, not an accessory, but we’re making an exception here because a perfectly puckered pout is the finishing touch every outfit needs! Apply a few dabs before heading out the door and keep it on you throughout the day for regular touch-ups.
- Necklace – Achieve a layered look with offset chains beset with cute charms, or pair a statement necklace with wardrobe basics to make your outfits look new each time. We definitely recommend organizing your necklaces with a jewelry stand because everyone knows that detangling chains can be an absolute nightmare.
- Purse – Perhaps one of the most important accessories a woman can own is her purse; not only are they the largest add-on to your ensemble, drawing the most attention, but they’re also the most functional and usually the most expensive. For that reason, we suggest protecting your investment by stocking up with a few different styles that each serve their own purpose.
- Handbag or messenger bag: Your main bae doesn’t have to be designer; you can find plenty of reduced-price gems at stores like Marshalls and Nordstrom Rack.
- Backpack or tote: A stylish backpack or essential tote bag should be used whenever you’re heading to the beach, gym, or anywhere that requires a few tag-along supplies.
- Clutch: For nights on the town, keep it simple with a handheld clutch that can stash the minimal must-haves (phone, keys, wallet, lip gloss).
- Watch – Last but certainly not least, a fashion watch makes you appear polished, classy, and sophisticated whether you’re at work or at happy hour!
