6 Timeless Accessories Of A Well-Dressed Woman

There are a few accessories that women who dress well always have in their wardrobe. In this post, I’m sharing with you six timeless accessories that look elegant and sophisticated and never go out of style.

Earrings

Simple, subtle earrings are the finishing touch to a really polished outfit. A pair of gold hoop earrings will always be in style and are a classic staple – something that will always make you feel more put together.

Diamond or diamante studs are equally wearable and versatile, serving as the perfect complement to almost any outfit. These can be worn day and night, at the office, at home, or just out and about.

But it’s a beautiful pair of pearl earrings that truly stand out as a timeless accessory. You’ll often see the Duchess of Cambridge wearing them, as they seem to be her go-to accessory right now. She favours both pearl drop earrings and pearl studs, the latter of which she wore to Prince Louis’ christening.

PEARL Earrings

Ultimately, pearl earrings are the little black dress of jewelry, adding a touch of class and sophistication to any outfit. Their versatility and timeless appeal make them a must-have in every stylish woman’s jewelry collection.

Nude Heels

I do believe the nude heels have become a timeless classic, and I think it’s an accessory that every woman who likes classic style should own. Just like a black heel, nude heels go with everything and more, and are an easy solution if you don’t know what shoe to wear.

They look wonderful with dresses as they make the legs look longer and quite seamless. And they don’t have to be super high – a shoe with a small heel looks just as lovely. Or if you can’t wear heels, try a nude ballet flat or a loafer; they give the same kind of effect.

The nude beige colour heel is what you see most frequently, but the whole point of the nude heel is they need to match your skin tone to have that sort of elongating effect. Ally Shoes do a five shades of nude pump, which is such a great idea. You can find a shoe that matches best to your colouring and blends in. Use code GEMMA10 for 10% off.

Classic Belt

Belt styles, just like every other accessory, do tend to change with the trends. You get wide belts, knotted belts, chain belts, but if you want a belt that’s going to outlive any of the trends, then a black or a tan belt which is around about three and a half centimeters wide will outlive any of the trends.

Silk Scarf

A beautiful scarf is a timeless accessory that can really add a touch of elegance to an outfit. If you have a silk scarf in your wardrobe, you can re-wear it time and time again and just adjust it to suit the styles at the time.

If you have an outfit you wear on repeat and it’s feeling just a little bit tired and you want to rejuvenate it, the scarf is the perfect accessory to do that. You can simply add it to your handbag, and straight away the outfit has been given a refresh.

A few years back, the scarves were popular tied in the hair. It’s quite a young look but certainly looks beautiful, and it’s another way the scarf could be worn to suit the trends at the time. If you have the confidence, tying a scarf over your head worn with some really big sunglasses is an old-school look but a very elegant way to wear the scarf.

Of course, there’s lots of fancy, beautiful ways to tie a scarf. I have a few videos on different ways to wear and tie the scarf. I’ve added one of them below if you want to learn some beautiful scarf ties.

Block Heel

A shoe style that you see the Duchess of Cambridge and Queen Letizia wearing quite often is a block heel shoe. It’s a valuable and practical style accessory to have in your wardrobe, especially if you need some really secure footwear that you’re going to be standing in for a long time.

Both the ladies wear a block heel that’s not too chunky, so it doesn’t make their outfits look heavy or clumpy and still looks elegant. They both tend to favour a classic shape shoe with a reasonably high heel in a plain colour.

Classic Handbag

Seasonal bags are very tempting, but a classic handbag will instantly elevate an outfit without looking outdated in a few seasons.

A crossbody bag is a practical bag to have in your wardrobe, and a bag like this Celine box bag is such a classic shape with no fussiness. It just complements outfits so beautifully and it works with outfits that go from day to night.

Cross Body Bags

A shopper tote bag pairs well with everyday pieces and is perfect for day-to-day use. They’re a little bit more practical because they have lots of space.

A bucket bag never really goes out of style and always dresses up an outfit.

And a top handle bag adds that extra bit of sophistication to an outfit and just makes an outfit look that little bit more polished.
