Accessories are the icing on the cake of an outfit and give it a personal touch that emphasizes individual style. Stylists even say that an outfit can only be described as such if it consists of at least four pieces. This does not necessarily mean layering, but enhancing the styling with accessories. Here is an example: a pair of jeans and a blouse do not make a complete outfit. Only a blouse, jeans, a blazer, a matching headpiece, jewelry and a handbag make it complete. This simple rule makes a big difference.
After this brief digression into the “how to style”, let’s take a look at the five most important accessory trends for 2024.
XXL bags
More space, more style The first big trend for 2024 is XXL bags. These not only offer plenty of space for all your everyday essentials, but also make a fashion statement. Large bags in neutral tones such as beige, black or gray are particularly popular as they are easy to combine with different outfits.
Styling tip: Combine an XXL bag with a minimalist outfit to make the bag the center of attention. A simple dress or a jeans-and-T-shirt look is instantly enhanced by a large bag. Make sure that the color of the bag matches the rest of your outfit to create a harmonious overall look.
Chunky jewelry
Setting eye-catching accents Chunky jewelry, i.e. large, eye-catching pieces of jewelry, are a real eye-catcher in 2024. Whether massive necklaces, wide bracelets or large earrings – this trend attracts everyone’s attention. Chunky jewelry is available in both simple and colorful designs, so there is something for every taste.
Styling tip: Chunky jewelry is particularly effective when combined with plain, monochrome items of clothing. A simple black dress immediately becomes a fashion highlight with a large, golden necklace. Be careful not to wear too many eye-catching pieces of jewelry at the same time so as not to overload the look.
Tinted sunglasses
A touch of retro Tinted sunglasses are another big trend for 2024. With their colorful lenses and classic frames, they are reminiscent of 70s fashion and add a touch of retro charm to any outfit. Models in yellow, orange and pink are particularly popular.
Styling tip: Combine tinted sunglasses with a casual summer look, such as a breezy dress or denim shorts and a T-shirt. These glasses are also perfect for festivals and summer parties. Make sure that the color of the glasses matches the rest of your outfit to create a harmonious look.
Statement shoes
Works of art on your feet Statement shoes are an absolute must-have in 2024. Designers experiment with unusual materials, eye-catching colors and sculptural shapes to create shoes that are true works of art. From abstract heels to extravagant embellishments – statement shoes are an eye-catcher.
Styling tip: Wear statement shoes with a simple outfit to draw the focus to the shoes. A simple dress or trousers with a plain top becomes an eye-catcher with striking shoes. These shoes are particularly suitable for special occasions or events where you want to stand out in terms of fashion.
Waist belt
Emphasizing the midriff Waist belts are the fifth big trend for 2024. These belts emphasize the waist and give the body a beautiful silhouette. They are available in various widths and designs, from narrow, discreet models to wide, eye-catching belts.
Styling tip: Waist belts can be worn over dresses, blazers or even winter coats to emphasize the waist and add structure to the outfit. Combine a wide waist belt with a wide dress to create a feminine silhouette. Narrow waist belts go well with blazers and create an elegant look.
