When I think about a “special fashion item,” I often refer to those gems that you can add to an outfit to take it to the next level. The idea that it can only take five seconds to completely enhance an ensemble. And yes, bonus points if said fashion-forward piece skews on the more affordable side. Ahem, under $100 here.
Below I’m sharing the five extra-special seasonal standouts that I think will instantly add a chic twist to a look. As a preview, I’m talking about an item like a cool earring silhouette to amp up an everyday look. To showcase the items in action, I pulled inspirational imagery from some of my favorite fashion followers. If you’re vibing with any (or all) of the pieces, there are shopping recommendations sprinkled throughout to get the looks.
In the jewelry realm, gorgeous drop earrings have such styling power. Simply add a cool pair (like the style featured here) to your everyday look, and the compliments will roll in.
Your outfit—whether it’s casual or more dressed up—will feel all the more modern and current with the addition of ballet flats. So chic.
You just can’t deny the power of an oversize button-up shirt. Add one into any look as an alt to another option, and you have yourself an instantly-chic look. A total fashion-person staple.
Belts are certainly not a new concept, but the trusty accessory is currently a go-to for style setters to add that little extra punch to a great outfit.
The denim skirt is having such a moment among the fashion crowd. Consider swapping in a denim style (whether it’s a maxi silhouette or a shorter cut) to give your look a very right now vibe.
