6 Women’s Accessories You Didn’t Know You Needed

Women’s fashion is always evolving, and the accessories that go with it can often be overlooked. While there are many classic pieces of jewelry and accessories that never seem to go out of style, it can be hard to keep up with the latest trends in women’s jewelry and accessories. From statement earrings to layered necklaces, here are six essential women’s accessories that every woman needs in her wardrobe.

1. Statement Earrings

Whether it’s a bold hoop earring or a statement drop earring, these pieces will add some drama to any outfit. Choose from a variety of styles and materials to make an unforgettable fashion statement. When choosing statement earrings, you should also consider piercing your ears in a place other than the traditional lobe. Cartilage piercings are becoming more popular, allowing you to create unique and interesting looks with your statement earrings.

Daith piercings are a solid option for statement earrings, as they’re located closer to the top of the ear, allowing them to be seen more easily. There are numerous options available for jewelry for Daith piercings, and because they are relatively small, you can be bold with your style choices.

2. Layered Necklaces

Layering necklaces has been a popular trend for several years now, and it’s easy to see why. With layered necklaces, you can easily create a unique look that is tailored specifically to your own personal style. A layered necklace is made up of any combination of necklaces, featuring different lengths, metals and stones. You can choose a chain with a locket or charm on it, or layer a simple pendant necklace with a colorful statement piece.

You can create your own layered necklace and many brands sell pre-made layered necklaces for those who don’t want to take the time to create their own. Department stores and major retailers from Macy’s to Nordstrom sell wide assortments of layered necklaces, so it’s easy to find something that speaks to your style.

3. Choker Necklaces

Chokers are a classic accessory that has been making a comeback for the past few years. They can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion and outfit, and come in a variety of styles from delicate chains to bold and colorful pieces.

They add some subtle edge to your look, and can be paired with other necklaces for an even more interesting look. Especially if you like to wear a lot of layers, a choker can be a  way to break up the look.

Choker necklaces come in various materials, including leather, velvet, and metal. Leather chokers look best with a more casual outfit, while velvet chokers can be dressed up for a night out. If you like to make a statement, look for chokers with colorful stones or bold metal accents.

4. Stackable Rings

Stackable rings are a creative way to add a unique touch to any look. These rings come in various sizes and styles, allowing you to create your own unique look that is tailored specifically to your style. Stackable rings are usually worn in sets of three or more and come in several different kinds of metals, stones, and shapes. You can choose to wear them all on the same finger, or mix and match them for a more eclectic look.

The added benefit to stackable rings is that you can easily change up your look by adding or removing pieces from your set. You can also mix and match pieces from different sets to create an even more personalized look.

When shopping for stackable rings, look for sterling silver or gold pieces with interesting shapes and stones to really make your rings stand out. If you don’t choose a ring made out of quality materials like silver, your fingers will turn green from the metal or synthetic material. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money or shop designer brands, there are many budget-friendly options, but it is important that you find pieces that are well-made and won’t tarnish over time (or leave your fingers green).

5. Hats

If you’re a woman who’s into her style, you need to have different hats for every occasion. A few staples for every woman’s closet:

• Wide-Brim Fedora: The classic fedora is an accessory to add some sophistication and elegance to any outfit. It looks good with almost anything and is sure to make a statement. The staple colors to look for are black, brown, and tobacco, but you can opt for crazy colors and patterns to really stand out.
• Beret: The beret is a  way to add some French flair to any style. Whether it’s plain black or printed and patterned, this timeless accessory will complete any look. Berets look best with a casual outfit and can be worn with or without a scarf.
• Sun hat: A sun hat protects your face from the sun while still looking stylish. They come in all shapes and sizes, so you’re sure to find one that fits your style perfectly. Whether it’s straw or canvas, you’ll have sun protection and style all in one.
• Beanie: Whether you want to look chic for the winter or just want to cover up a bad hair day, nothing beats a classic beanie. Beanies are stylish, warm, and perfect for bad hair days. Choose from cable knit or ribbed styles and find the one that best suits your style.

You can find most of these hats on large global retailers like ZARA, or you can browse through local stores for unique pieces.

6. Luxury Handbag

If you’re looking to invest in a timeless piece of luxury, nothing beats a classic designer handbag. Whether it’s a classic quilted Chanel bag or an embellished Louis Vuitton, these bags will always make you stand out.

When shopping for a designer bag, look for quality materials like leather and canvas that will stand the test of time. Avoid bags with fake embellishments as these can easily fade over time. It’s also important to shop from reputable stores and websites to make sure you are getting the real deal. Look out for grainy images and poor-quality stitching, as these are usually tell-tale signs of a fake bag.

It’s good to remember that designer bags come with a hefty price tag, but it is worth the investment. A  quality handbag can last you decades and will be an heirloom piece that can be passed down for generations. A luxury handbag is one of the essential luxury staples that every woman should have.

Whether you’re looking for statement pieces or everyday staples, there is something out there to fit every style and budget. From timeless designer bags to stackable rings, these items can elevate your look and make you stand out from the crowd.
