The Most Stylish Accessories of 2016

If you love to stay in fashion but have a tight budget to work to, nothing beats splashing out on a few key accessories. Forget buying a whole new wardrobe to mark the changing of the seasons – all you need to do to is update your everyday look with shoes, bags and jewellery that reflect the latest trends. But how to choose the hottest looks for 2016? Check out our guide to the most stylish accessories of 2016.

Mismatched earrings

You know that drawer full of old, single earrings you’ve kept for years just in case the other one turns up? Now is their time to shine. One of the hottest trends on the catwalks this season was mismatched earrings – so get out your favourite pieces and wear them with pride. For bonus style points, use earrings that pick up different accents or elements in the rest of your outfit. For example, you could pair one fabric and one gold earring with a tasselled bag and a gold belt, or wear coloured earrings that match different parts of what you are wearing.

Bright colours

Bright and beautiful will be a big trend this year, but going all out on some fluorescent orange trousers or pillar box red shirts might be too much for some people – which is why this is one fashion perfectly suited to accessories. You can add a colourful touch to any outfit with bags and shoes in bold primary colours, or add an even subtler touch with statement jewellery in your favourite bright shades. In the summer, colourful sunglasses are also a subtle yet stylish way to stay on-trend. You can find some of these chic accessories cheaper with a Debenhams voucher.

Chokers

Last seen as a bargain-basement accessory that graced the necks of all teenage girls in the late 90s, the choker is enjoying a big comeback. For a soft, daytime look you can choose fabric chokers made out of velvet or lace, in monochromatic shades. Or, if you want to add some glitz to an evening outfit, why not accessorise with a choker in silver or gold? For real drama and added bling, choose ones with precious stones or beads set into them to make a real statement this season. Shops like Debenhams have a great selection for you to choose from.

Body jewellery

No, we don’t mean that belly button piercing you had done when you were 18. This season’s hottest body jewellery is all about full-body chains and pendants inspired by Asian wedding jewellery. Perfect for special occasions, they go great with a simple little black dress – or worn over a swimsuit or bikini for a super-luxe look when you’re away on your holidays. For a great range of accessories including a selection of body jewellery, you can check out the low prices you can get using TK Maxx discount.


Leather belts

As a direct contrast to the feminine edge of the majority of 2016 accessory trends, leather belts are also very in fashion this year. Think thick, often embossed belts, used to cinch in the waist and create an hourglass silhouette. They look great used to smarten up a casual outfit for a day at the office or used to dress down an evening look. Studs and even rhinestones also graced the leather belts at this year’s catwalk shows, so it’s time to channel your inner cowgirl!
