5 trends in accessories
1 Oversized, vintage-cut cocktail rings
2 Low-strung pearls and extra-long necklaces
3 A touch of gold
4 A scarf
5 Velvet and satin clutches
4 tips for successful accessorizing:
1 A little goes a long way. If you're wearing a dramatic pair of earrings, let them be the focus and keep other jewelry minimal.
2 Always carry a pair of silver or gold flats, such as Sue London flats, in your bag to slip into at people's homes, so you won't be left in nylons or socks if you have to take your boots off.
3 Since black is back this season, wear a bright pair of shoes or carry a metallic clutch to make a bold statement with your overall outfit.
4 Stick with one look rather than integrating too many trends together.
If you're a brooch wearer, opt for vintage lockets and gold pins which, according to Burgess, are more popular this season than brooches. "I still think that a smile is always the best accessory at any party," muses Burgess. So put on your smile and your favourite accessories and hit the holiday parties in style!
