Accessories are, without a doubt, a mum’s best friend!
Not only can they effortlessly enhance the look and feel of your outfit, but they are also a form of self-expression that defines your personal style and allows your creative side to flourish.
Overall, there are several accessories you can wear that will turn heads and attract compliments wherever you go.
But which are the best ones to adorn?
In this post, we’ll look at six essentials every fashionista mum should be able to call on. If you add these to your wardrobe collection, you are sure to make a statement whenever you put them on.
1. Cool Sunnies
Sunglasses for women are the rock star of the accessories scene. Possessing the ability to add instant sex appeal, style, and a touch of mystique to your look, they are the first things that tend to get noticed when you are out and about.
The great thing about sunglasses is that they come in a range of designs, including wayfarers, browlines, squares, and geometric shapes, which suit all manner of face shapes. They can also be worn for a range of social situations, from a day at the beach and playdates with other mums to date nights with your partner or jaunts around the shops.
Whether you choose high-end Prada sunglasses or a trusty pair of Gucci is up to you. Just make sure they offer maximum protection against UV rays.
2. Designer Heels
Every mum needs a killer pair of designer heels for special occasions like black-tie events, galas and weddings, as well as major client meetings.
Heels are a form of empowerment that can often make a woman feel more feminine and attractive. However, it is important to find a pair you can wear with grace and walk around all night without losing your balance or poise.
There are many fantastic brands available, including heavyweights like Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin.
You can’t go wrong with a safe color, like black or neutral tan, as you can pair them with anything, from your trusty little black dress to your favorite skinny jeans.
3. Jewelry
We all need to be able to call upon a stunning piece of jewelry for a special occasion.
Whether that be a gorgeous bracelet, sparkly earrings or an eye-catching necklace, slipping on an exquisite adornment such as these is one of the most effortless ways to enhance any look.
The type of jewelry you wear for upscale events should have a ‘wow’ factor. So, try to save up your money to buy something with diamonds, pearls, silver, or gold. This will create a chic look that showcases your unique personality and style.
4. Classy clutch
In addition to a killer pair of heels, a classy clutch is a must for a formal event such as a wedding or gala ball.
You are likely to own this item for several years, so it’s worth picking a sleek, good-quality one that will add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your ensemble.
A Chanel Vintage clutch always looks fantastic, though a nice Brunello Cucinelli Leather clutch has a real feel-good factor, too.
In terms of color, you can’t go wrong with black, as it will go with anything you wear. However, don’t be afraid to choose something in a more vivid shade of royal blue or red, as it will really get you noticed.
5. Handbag
Most of us mums would be lost without a handbag. A good old hobo, half-moon or even a baby changing bag is essential for carrying all our possessions. However, it is also a great way of adding style to any look.
Handbags are a good investment, as a top-quality one will last a long time. Try to find one that can adequately fit your essentials, like your phone, makeup, and hairbrush, and doesn’t feel too big or small to carry around.
Neutral colors like black, taupe, white, and tan will go with pretty much anything you wear. Deluxe brands like Hermès, LOEWE, and Lady Dior all have fantastic designs and durability thanks to their exceptional craftsmanship.
6. Sneakers
Just as important in the footwear department as a killer pair of heels is a designer pair of sneakers.
It doesn’t matter what you wear, including your Levi’s, summer dress, or exercise gear; pairing them with branded runners is an easy, effortless way to elevate your style game.
For casual occasions, Adidas or Nike will serve you well. However, if you are looking for something a bit more upscale, Balenciaga and D&G are sure to make you feel like a celebrity!
While sneakers are a great way to add color or make a statement to any look, don’t forget they are first and foremost about providing comfort to your feet.
So, make sure you find a well-fitting pair that you have no trouble walking or running around in.
