Best Accessories to Keep in Your Rotation

Accessories can totally make or break an outfit. They’re like the cherry on top—or maybe more like the whipped cream, because they’re kind of essential for making everything come together. If you’ve ever felt like your outfit needs “something,” odds are it’s an accessory problem. Here are five staples that are always worth keeping in your rotation.

Best Accessories to Keep in Your Rotation

Silk Scarf

Silk scarves are an underrated accessory. They can be worn so many different ways and are an easy way to incorporate color and pattern into an outfit! Wear yours on your handbag, in your hair, or around your neck, just to name a few! This silk scarf like a magic wand for your wardrobe. Bonus points if you pick one with a fun pattern—it’s a great way to sneak in some personality without going overboard.

Chic Belt

A belt isn’t just for keeping your pants up. Cinch it around a blazer or slip dress, or use it to add some polish to a tucked-in top and denim. Go for a classic leather option with a cool buckle—something versatile that works with just about everything. It’s the kind of piece that quietly elevates your outfit without trying too hard.

Sunglasses

Sunglasses aren’t just for hiding from the sun (or, let’s be honest, people). They’re an instant confidence booster. A classic pair—think oversized tortoiseshell or sleek cat-eye—goes with anything and everything. Keep them in your bag, and you’re always one step away from looking put-together.

A Neutral Handbag

You don’t need 10 bags in your arsenal. A neutral, wear-with-everything handbag is really all you need for most outfits. Whether you go for a structured tote, a crossbody, or a slouchy shoulder bag, stick to colors like black, tan, or cream. It’s an easy way to keep things simple but still feel luxe.

Statement Jewelry

While I wear mostly the same (simple) jewelry on a day-to-day basis, I am a sucker for statement jewelry. Currently, this Soru necklace and charm. I love that they’re chunkier than my normal pieces without being too chunky!

Accessories are the easiest way to refresh your wardrobe without buying a ton of new clothes. These five staples are my go-to for making everyday outfits feel fresh and intentional. What are the accessories you always keep in rotation? Let me know!
