When packing for a holiday, often the emphasis is on choosing clothing that can mix and match, allowing you to actually cut down on the number of pieces you need to pack. Let’s face it, suitcase space comes at a premium, and there are likely a lot of other items you need to fit in other than your clothes. So, if you can’t pack a huge variety of outfits, how can you look sophisticated, trendy, and confident in your holiday wardrobe? The answer is actually pretty simple – it comes down to accessories.
Here we’ll take a look at how you can use accessories to jazz up your vacation wardrobe and ensure you are the picture of elegance and fashion each day and night.
Stick with One Colour Palette
The first tip doesn’t have to do with the accessories you pack, but rather the clothing. To ensure that your accessories are versatile, choose one colour palette when it comes to your wardrobe. This allows for mixing and matching the clothing, and you’ll know that the jewellery you pack will work with each outfit.
As for what colour palette to pick, experts typically recommend sticking to the neutrals or basics and then relying on your accessories as the pop of colour.
Choose a Statement Jewellery Piece
Another way to jazz up your vacation wardrobe is to pack a statement jewellery piece. Opt for a piece that can work with a variety of colour palettes and styles of clothing so that you can really get full use out of it. The goal is to let the statement piece be the item that adds interest to your wardrobe.
Take, for example, a simple black sundress. Go ahead and wear something like the 18ct Gold Interchangeable Sapphire Chameleon Ring from the Chameleon jewellery collection through Annoushka, and suddenly that outfit takes on a new personality.
A statement piece of jewellery can be anything from earrings, to a necklace, to a charm, ring, bracelet, or even brooch. The key is to have just one piece that you wear at a time, and ensure that it is eye-catching.
Two Bags is All You Need
When it comes to your bags, you’ll want to try to narrow it down to two options. It’s always a good idea to take a medium to larger size bag that could double up as tote bag while touring around on excursions, walking the grounds of your hotel, and even heading to the beach or pool. Something with enough space to throw essentials like sunblock, Gucci sunglasses, a hat, a bottle of water, and your camera is key.
It’s also a good idea to pack a smaller bag that can be used for evenings. A small clutch will look much more sophisticated in the evening over your large bulky tote.
Layer Various Lengths, Metals, and Colours
Finally, if you want to look really high-fashion, the key is to layer your accessories. Mix and match playing with different metals, lengths, styles of jewellery, and colours. You’ll end up with something that looks very customised and therefore expensive.
Each of these tips will ensure that you look great even with a slimmed-down holiday wardrobe.
