Adding any one of these versatile items into your closet will take
your outfit to new heights of fabulousness. From a white tuxedo jacket
to statement heels, scroll down to see the pieces you'll want to help
you standout.
Bright Bag
A sleek, colorful purse will complement neutrals,
brights, or pastels. Just don't match it with clothing in the exact same
shade. (Go for versatility: This one converts to a clutch!)
White Tuxedo Jacket
It stands out in a sea of traditionally neutral blazers (you've already
got navy or black down). And unlike its more predictable cousins, a
white jacket can do fancy (lightly tossed over the shoulders of an
evening gown) as easily as it can go casual—with jeans and a T.
Vibrant Scarf
Instead of a necklace, try a soft loop of bright
fabric to perk up a mundane outfit instantly. It's a fun and simple way
to mix prints. Wrap it once or twice around your neck, letting both ends
hang loose.
Studded Flats
If you have a glamorous event and your feet are
begging for a break from stilettos, slip into some decorated flats like
the ones shown here. This contrast of edgy and feminine suits cocktail
dresses, of course, plus flirty skirts and dark trousers.
Polka-Dot Blouse
Punch up your office wear or faded denim with
this snappy classic. Reveal a little (top it with a crewneck sweater so
only your collar shows) or a lot—untucked and flowy over white jeans or a
solid navy or gray skirt.
Embellished Coat
There's hardly an ensemble that can't be
upgraded by the addition of this exciting spin on the traditional
balmacaan—a silhouette that looks good on every figure. Pair it with
capri pants, colored jeans, a striped mini, or even your favorite LBD.
Eye-Catching Heels
Make your outfit interesting from the front
and back. This vivid design allows you to color-block with clothing in
everything from silver or white to cobalt, orange, or yellow.
Bold Cuff Decorating your wrist with one of these clean, modern
shapes elevates your total look. Make a splash with
short or ¾ sleeves—or clasp it over a long sleeve blouse.
Statement Necklace
Not as over-the-top this incarnation
combines darkened metal with glitz and a bit of color for results that
don't seem wildly out of place during office hours.
