How often do you stand in front of that closet and are only able to find the most plain, boring, and ordinary-looking clothes. How often do you wish you had more than just the LBD or those hot pants? How many times have you done each of these pairs to death? Well, you don’t really need to answer that.

Bindiya Chotrani brings to you a few accessories that are going to spruce up your wardrobe and help you make a style statement.

Gone are the days when a timepiece was just about telling time. With recent times, a watch has become more of a fashion statement than a necessity. And while there is one of every kind available in the market, it is a task to pick up one that suits you best. Bulky, leather-strapped, metal-strapped, delicate, square-dialled, round dialled – there is no dearth of these. However, pick up one of a size that suits your wrist best. Off late it is all about bling. And if you believe you can carry one of those snappy pieces with élan, be assured that your boring spring dress just turned into dazzling outfit.

The classic Tote  
The tote, the classic clutch, a wallet or the sling bag. This one’s your man Friday and a super-simple way to add a shot of color and personality to any look. Pick up bags with bling, fluorescents colours, cool slogans, fruity prints or sparkly straps to them, and you’re good to go. And while it’s about looking trendy here, it’s equally about the comfort. Ensure your bag or tote has a few zippers so that you can stash the minimal belongings into them. Whoever said you could only be organised or stylish? That artistic and edgy piece is guaranteed to get you second glances.

What could make your dress more glamorous than a pair of oversized sunglasses? On your face, they give you a mysterious, movie-star look. On top of the head, they serve as a chic headband. Look for sunglasses with frame shapes to flatter your face. In general, choose the opposite of your face shape: rectangle for a round face and round shades for an angular face. However, large oval frames look good on most face shapes. Black or tortoise frames are classics and look good on almost everyone. Once you have the frame style down, check to see how its color works on you. Choose a colour that suits most outfits.

Rock a quirky Neckpiece        
There are chokers, there are long chains and then there are bejewelled neck-pieces. Pick up on these depending upon your outfit. A small number would look best with a long chain and a clinker. As for chokers, they look best with skin-fit jeans and a figure hugging low-necked top. And if you’d rather opt for a delicate bejewelled piece, then keep no reservations. Put them on with a saree, a suit, a blazer. Nothing will make you look more elegant.

An unapologetic pair of trendy shoes       wedges-trendy-orange-color-block-ankle-strap-platform-wedges-007201_2 
Well, Cinderella is proof that a pair of shoes can change your life. Buy wedges, buy stilettos, buy pumps, buy peep toes. Buy whatever you love most, but ensure you pick up the trendiest, quirkiest and whacky ones. These are sure to spice up that plain Jane outfit you adorn. Yet again, pick the up only if you know you can carry them off with élan.

Go bold with an oversized hat
Hats are making a comeback as a fashion statement. Hats can make you appear taller, frame your face with a flattering colour, and add a touch of class to any outfit.  Right from the wide brim hats to the fedoras to the straw boaters, there are plenty of hats to choose from and moods to adopt. The romantic hats which are floppy and large never go out of style and since the winter sun is quite sharp in our country, this is a good style to try out here. These hats can be worn with a flowing kurta or a dress. The feodra is a classic style and looks great with formal outfits, especially with blazers and trousers. Unsure about wearing a hat? Head on over to a hat shop and start trying some on. You’ll find one that works for you.
