Stand Out From The Crowd With These 5 Stylish
Fashion Accessories
Fashion accessories are decorative objects or clothes that complement your outfit.
You can use them to show off your personality, add colour to your outfit or even make another piece of clothing stand out.
A variety of these accessories exist. Scarves, bags, and jewellery are examples.
These 5 fashion accessories will make you stand out. They are items that will make people remember you and add a flair to your day-to-day.
Most importantly, at least to me, you will not find many people wearing them.
Let’s get started.
Pin it 📌
1. Sunglasses Chain
But make it your style. There are hundreds of styles and designs to choose from.
Some people think they are only for the elderly, but fashion has no age. It’s a matter of whether you can pull it off or not.
If you are worried about looking older, I recommend using sunglasses chains with modern design sunglasses for a youthful look.
2. Waist Beads
Waist beads refer to jewellery worn around the waist. This accessory is traditionally worn in African cultures to symbolize femininity, fertility and sensuality.
Adopted by the rest of the world today, a variety of waist beads exist in different materials and designs but their root remains in african cultures.
Feel free to use them, but recognize them as adornments that carry cultural significance.
Respect the history behind it by referring to this item by its traditional name – waist beads – and not its white-washed versions – belly beads or the beaded waist chains.
This accessory is usually worn with crop tops or other tops that show the waist, including bikinis and swimsuits.
3. Nose Ring
I’m referring to a fake nose ring. I am not advising you to actually pierce your body.
Fake piercings are a thing. and they look just as good as the real ones.
Nose rings hold positive symbolic significance in many African cultures in regards to status, marriage and fertility.
The meaning of a nose ring has long been colonized and associated with rebellion.
It is seen in the western world as unprofessional and devoid of cultural significance.
Feel free to use nose rings, but understand that many designs (usually intricate designs) hold cultural value and should not be used merely as a fashion accessory. Do your research before buying.
4. Anklet
Easy, fast way to spice up your outfit or your heels.
I recommend lighter materials for the beach, heavier materials like metal for the day and glitter/diamonds for an evening look.
5. Corset Belt
Accentuates the waist and looks good regardless of your shape and size. Looks amazing with a sweater dress or on top of a high-waisted skirt.
Pro tip: a well-fitted bra lifts your bust, accentuates your curves even further and elongates the body.
