How Accessories Can Instantly Elevate Your Outfit
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt like something was missing from your outfit, chances are it wasn’t the clothes, it was the accessories. The right accessories don’t just complete a look, they transform it. Whether you’re heading out in jeans and a tee or a little black dress, styling with intentional accessories can instantly take your outfit from simple to stunning.
Here’s how to use accessories to elevate your everyday style:
A great bag can act as the focal point of your look. Think structured top handle bags, a mini crossbody in a bold color, or even a woven tote for a more relaxed vibe. Invest in versatile neutrals, but don’t shy away from color and texture to add interest. Some of our top picks for the season include The Row Oregon Bag, perfect for daytime outings and sitting by the pool, the Plan C Mini Folded Bag for its beautiful blue color and versatility, and lastly the Dries Van Noten Bag for its spaciousness and iconic print.
Shoes ground your outfit and say a lot about your style. A chic pair of slides from Brunello Cucinelli can turn a casual denim outfit into a polished look, while a leather sandal from The Row can add personality to even the simplest dress. Play with shapes and heel heights, or go for unexpected textures like leather or suede.

The Row Hugh Sandal in Leather, $1,090
Delicate layers or bold statement piece jewelry allows you to personalize your look. Gold hoops, stacked rings, or a layered necklace set can add just enough shine to elevate an outfit without overpowering it. If you're looking for something on the delicate side we'd suggest the Ginette Diamond on a Chain, or if you're looking for something a bit more statement worthy go with a Woods Pendant and Chain.

Sunglasses aren’t just for sunny days, they're the ultimate cool girl accessory. Whether you love a cat eye like the Bridgette, the Markle, an oversized frame, or a minimalist style such as the Carter, Krewe sunglasses can shift your look from laid back to luxe in seconds.
Accessories are the details that make your style yours. They don’t need to be trendy or expensive to make a statement, they just need to feel like you. So the next time you get dressed, don’t forget the finishing touch.
