Little details in an outfit can make or break the entire ensemble. The best way to ensure a good look is by adding some pattern or texture.
Cable-knit patterns in a chunky scarf or warm beanie have that cozy and comforting look, making the outfit perfect for cold weather. Darker beanies can accessorize a great hair day or keep the outfit flowing upwards, bringing attention to that bright smile. Lighter hats can add a pop of color to black- and gray-centered outfits to help keep the gloom away.
Shiny buckles on warm boots, suede textures covering booties or two-toned shoes keep feet interesting once they are out of the snow. Boots with a little extra heel can be unpredictable in slippery, icy weather, but a good pair of socks can easily help. And you can accentuate solid colored boots with fun-colored socks or knee-high knit socks for taller boots.
With warm weather feeling far away, adding a floral design to a winter outfit through scarves and sweaters is a good way to try to channel spring. Dark blue and white, or brighter red floral patterns, can accessorize sweaters and shirts. A patterned pocket on a solid color sweater or a floral detailing on a shirt can usher in the upcoming season in a subtle way.
Accessorizing with patterns or jewelry is an important part of any outfit. Adding variety draws attention to your great look and makes even the simplest outfit that much more interesting.
Little details like these allow your favorite casual ensembles to transform into something formal or a go-to date night look. Embrace the little details, and never take them for granted. They are always reliable and readily available.
