- The Statement Handbag
We are firm believers that any and every woman should own at least one statement handbag that can be paired with a variety of different outfits to complete any look. Our top (and most versatile) pick in this department is your standard high-quality leather handbag. Simple yet sophisticated, the classic leather handbag is the perfect addition to every woman’s closet. Unlike bags made of synthetic materials, a leather handbag is an investment that will last you a lifetime due to its resistance to moisture, bad odour and dust mites. When you carry a top-grain leather handbag, you’re guaranteed to feel like the most classy person in the room.
A simple leather handbag pairs perfectly with any outfit – from a casual jeans and t-shirt look all the way to a sleek and stunning black evening dress and everything in between. The moral of the story – if you don’t already own a statement handbag, the time has come to invest in one. We love shopping at Myer, which stocks a wide range of different statement handbags for every taste and preference while also offering Qantas Points for certain purchases.
- A Funky Fedora
Hats are a fantastic accessory choice that can be found in a wide variety of colours, styles and designs to complement even the most simple of outfits. If you’re looking to truly make a statement with your headgear, we highly recommend opting for a stylish and versatile fedora. A timeless option that is ideal for both men and women, a fedora is an accessory that can be styled for any occasion or outfit. Try pairing one with skinny jeans and an oversized shirt or even with a more elegant dress that is paired with a fitted blazer or jacket.
Top Tip: When picking a fedora, choose one that sits comfortably slightly above the centre of your forehead and above your ears.
- Tortoiseshell Sunglasses
If we had to pick only one pair of sunnies to own for the rest of our lives, a pair of tortoiseshell sunglasses would be top on our list. If you’re someone who hates having to dig through a massive pile of sunglasses in constant search of a pair that goes with your outfit, simply buy a tortoiseshell pair and call it a day! Whether you’re dressing up for date night or simply heading for brunch with friends, these mottled yellow, honey, brown and black tinged frames are certain to compliment any look. To really ensure that you look as stylish as possible, be sure to pick a pair that suits your face shape perfectly. For an in-depth guide on how to pick the best pair for your face shape, be sure to check out this article.
- Elegant Black Pumps
Glam up any (and we mean any) outfit by slipping on a beautiful pair of elegant black pumps. A classic pair of black pumps go well with literally every outfit you have in your wardrobe and for almost every event; brunch, a dinner date, graduation, work, a party and more. Having at least one quality pair in your closet is a must for any woman. When choosing a pair to last a lifetime, we highly recommend avoiding trendy or seasonal options and instead opting for classic shapes and cuts that won’t go out of style this time next year. Be sure to pick a heel that isn’t too high to ensure that your shoes are suitable – and comfortable enough – to wear on a variety of different occasions and events.
- Gold Jewellery
Wearing a simple t-shirt and jeans outfit and wanting to look a little fancier? Gold jewellery. All dressed up and looking to add a classy personal touch without looking over accessorised? Gold jewellery. Gold jewellery may have started as a revived trend a couple of years ago, but it is a trend that is here to stay. More durable than sterling silver or any of its other counterparts, gold jewellery adds a touch of elegance to even the most basic outfit. If you’re someone who enjoys a splash of colour, rose gold is another fantastic option that compliments most skin tones and adds beautiful and unexpected colouring to your collection. Whether you’re looking for chunky hoops or a statement necklace, always go for the gold.
- Classic Leather Belt
Last but by no means the least, no wardrobe is complete without a classic leather belt. Regardless of what shape or size you are, you can easily cinch your waist in to create curves with the right statement belt. Over the last few years, the Gucci Double G Buckle belt has done the rounds on social media, but we also are big fans of more inexpensive versions such as the Guess Women’s Zadie belt and many more.
Expert Tip: Look for a belt that fits on the middle hole – any shorter, and it may look stubby and take away from your outfit.
