Sparkle up the winter with these accessories
Make your outfit truly shine this season by adding on-trend accessories to your look: think luxe, glamour and sparkle. Chilly temperatures mean a thick winter coat and boots are essential, though even the gloomiest of garments can be livened up with carefully selected accessories. Festive evening events and nights out are the perfect excuse to accessorise with some celebratory sparkle – just keep the look chic with a shift or classically tailored dress.
A girl will never be far from her handbag on an evening out, so whilst practicality should be considered, this piece can easily take an outfit from so-so to standout. For unique style, check out the pieces by Lara Bohinc at Avenue 32. The Slovenian designer studied industrial and graphic design in the country before moving to London where she studied for an MA in jewellery. Her experience in crafting intricate and innovative pieces is reflected in the gorgeous Lunar Clutch, with its interwoven clasp and platinum python finish. The perfect size for all your evening out essentials, this would look great paired with a maxi dress and chunky platinum necklace.
When considering accessories, don’t forget the impact a wristwatch can have. Far from solely a functional item, an expertly crafted timepiece can add chic luxe to a look and is a perfect alternative to a bangle or bracelet for a formal Christmas event. New for Autumn/Winter is this super-glitzy watch from Marc by Marc Jacobs. The gold metal strap is matched to the simple face and accented with coordinating stones on the rim – perfect for any magpie-eyed girl! The piece takes inspiration from elements of Marc Jacob’s wider collection, so can be seamlessly coordinated with other pieces from his jewellery range.
If you fancy sticking with the heavy metal trend, but would prefer something more delicate, look no further than this art deco necklace by CA&LOU. The Swarovski crystals inject that vital winter sparkle to an outfit, and the slender geometric shapes add wow factor without dominating – perfect for a slender figure or a delicate dress neckline. This necklace is available from the latest collection from the female design duo and is a fab way to work a vintage glamour look. Wear with a peplum-detail dress and courts for a really retro look.
A new pair of gloves is a must for many this season, so why not keep hands warm and dripping in sparkle too by opting for an eye-catching pair? Channeling both the leather trend and the timeless Christmas glitzy look, these green salmon Ava gloves are the perfect way to add a fun touch to a dull overcoat, available from Nina Peter. Nina Peter’s accessories are designed to fit like a second skin and transform daily essentials into modern fashion statements.
Brighten your outfit, look glam on a night out and add sparkle to your winter with these eye-catching and head-turning accessories.
