Trending Accessory Pieces In The Industry
There are quite a few popular trending accessory pieces
right now being seen on the runway throughout the fashion industry. Each of them definitely have similarities,
but before I explain those I will post a selection of these very exclusive
pieces below!
This Chanel necklace portrays a statement, bulky, "in your face" technique by using large scale pearl like shapes.
These pieces are inspired by Southern Indian Jewellery from the Susan
L. Beningson Collection.
YSL Botanical Necklace has beautiful details throughout the
entire piece.
The very popular Peter Pan collar looks lovely with the statement
embellishments.
The Grunge/Gothic look is still robust. Most popular pieces include; embellished
skull rings, claws, studs, and spikes.
I
have noticed that even with the different trends right now they all have a
couple things in common. One of the main similar attributes that all of these
trends possess is that they are based on larger scales and create a statement
piece. Each style is bold, chunky, large, or "in your face." Which
trend is your favourite?!

How To Accessorize For Your Body Type
To begin, there are many different beautiful body types that
each of us resemble. Your first step is
to figure out which one you are! The
main body types include; triangle, inverted triangle, rectangle, and hourglass. Now, obviously this doesn’t mean every woman
is walking around with hidden shapes under their clothing! Take a look:
The Triangle represents a woman with a small shoulder width and
generally any weight is supported in the hip area.
The Inverted Triangle is the complete opposite of the original
triangle. This means that any weight is
supported in the upper body, and hip measurements are considerably smaller.
The Rectangle is when the weight is being supported in the middle of
the body. Hip and shoulder measurements
will be very similar in size as well as the waist measurements.
The Hourglass is when the waist and shoulder measurements are
balanced or very similar, and the waist measurement is a great deal smaller.
Now
that you have figured out which body type you are, let the fun begin! Here are a couple tips and tricks to
accessorize your fabulous outfit!
The Triangle
What to wear: scarves
can be draped horizontally around your neck to divert attention from the hips,
any type of statement necklace or earrings will look lovely too!
What not to wear:
belts, or anything that will highlight the hip area. I also find that if you are wearing bangles,
bulky bracelets, watches, etc. highlight the hip area too. This tends to happen when your arms are at
your sides and your wrists match up with your hips.
The Inverted Triangle
What to wear: long
necklaces, bangles, chunky bracelets or watches, and belts. All of these accessories will divert
attention to smaller hips.
What not to wear:
chunky necklaces, statement earrings, bulky scarves, etc. Stay away from anything that will draw more
attention to the upper body.
The Rectangle
What to wear:
statement necklaces, bulky earrings, bangles, chunky bracelets, watches,
low-sitting belts, etc. Try to wear
accessories that highlight both hip and shoulder areas of the body. This will make a more defined waist line.
What not to wear:
long necklaces, high waist belts, etc.
Stay away from anything that will draw attention to the mid-section.
The Hourglass
What to wear: high
waist belts, to keep the natural waist line.
Try to wear the same amount of necklaces, earrings, and bracelets to
keep shoulders and hips balanced.
What not to wear:
bulky necklaces with minimal amounts of bracelets, chunky bracelets with
minimal earrings/necklaces, etc. Stay
balanced ladies!
Now that you have your tips and tricks go out there and own your looks ladies! You're beautiful no matter what body type you are, and there are always new ways to wear any outfit! Just remember the four body types; triangle, inverted triangle, rectangle, and hourglass.
