Key Accessories for your Autumn / Winter wardrobe

Here are my checklists to know what accessories you need for your Work, Rest and Play capsules during the colder months

“Wearing the right colour tone of accessory, especially up against your face, will give you a healthy glow.”

Don’t forget scale

When choosing accessories, you should also consider your scale (i.e. height).  It’s especially important if you are Petite or Tall.

This is because wearing a large accessory can swamp a petite frame and likewise, a small accessory can make a taller frame appear bigger.  Which is the opposite of the balance you are seeking to create.

Colour choice matters

Wearing the right colour tone of accessory, especially up against your face, will give you a healthy glow.  This includes the colour of the frames of your glasses.

We’re normally at our palest during the Autumn and Winter periods so it’s even more noticeable if you wear colour tones which don’t suit you.

For your bags, boots and shoes, for both Work & Rest capsules choose your best dark neutrals (i.e. Black / Navy / Charcoal / Brown) and also your best light neutrals (i.e. White / Soft White / Ivory / Cream).

Your choice of jewellery

Did you know, your complexion is either better suited to silver, white gold and platinum, or gold, rose gold and bronze?

For metal jewellery like necklaces, earrings and bracelets, make sure to choose your best metal – especially in our paler months.

“Best” in terms of the metal which complements your skin complexion.
