The Accessory That Pulls Everything Together | How to Accessorize an Outfit

items My sister-in-law always looks polished, and it isn't because she spends a fortune. Her secret is accessories: one statement piece, a few supporting ones, and nothing fighting for attention. This is the five-piece formula I borrowed from her, starting...
This is the elevated base the whole formula sits on. A matching suiting blazer makes even jeans look intentional, and it gives every accessory a clean backdrop to shine against.
Abercrombie & Fitch Classic Suiting Blazer
The blazer's other half. Tailored wide-leg pants turn the base into a true set, which is the easiest way to look put together before you add a single accessory.
Abercrombie & Fitch Sloane Tailored Wide Leg Pant
The statement piece. A burgundy bag is my favorite way to add one rich pop of color without touching the rest of the outfit, so pick a deep wine shade and let it lead.
Dasein Faux Suede Envelope Clutch
A budget-friendly bag option with a huge review count. Choose a deep wine color and let it be the one thing people notice.
COCIFER Shoulder Tote Bag
This is the supporting jewelry layer. A layered lariat fills in the neckline of a blazer and adds polish without competing with your bag.
BaubleBar Carina Lariat Layered Necklace
A budget layered necklace that gives you the stacked look in one piece. No untangling three chains every morning.
Freekiss Layered Necklace Set
Another affordable layering option for when you want something a little different. Wear it with a crewneck or under an open collar.
Poxtex Layered Gold Necklace
Booties are the grounding piece of the formula. A classic ankle bootie works with trousers, jeans and dresses all season long.
Lucky Brand Basel Bootie
The budget bootie with thousands of reviews. Simple enough to go with everything, which is exactly what you want when the bag is the star.
Amazon Essentials Lace-Up Ankle Boot
A heeled ankle bootie for when you want a little more lift. Great with wide-leg pants that skim the top of the shoe.
DREAM PAIRS Chelsea Ankle Boot
The finishing touch. Gold hoops frame your face and pull the whole look together, and they work with every outfit in this formula.
BaubleBar 18K Gold Ella Hoop Earrings
My everyday budget hoops. Light enough to wear all day and so easy to grab on your way out the door.
14K Gold Plated Hoop Earrings
A bonus supporting piece. A leather belt with a gold buckle ties the blazer set together and echoes your gold jewelry.
Gold Buckle Leather Belt
My budget pick for the base layer. A simple solid blazer at this price lets you try the formula before you invest, and it gives every accessory a clean backdrop.
Beninos Solid Suit Blazer
A fall plaid blazer for when you want the base to have a little personality. Keep the accessories gold and simple and it still reads polished, not busy.
Mina Self Plaid Blazer
