Accessories are the key to creating the perfect outfit, they’re the details that bring any look to life. If you’re starting from scratch, focus on building a timeless rotation of essentials that never go out of style. With these foundation pieces, you can effortlessly elevate any outfit and stay stylish no matter the season. Let's take a look at some of our favourite accessories.

6 pieces that you need in your collection

A necklace
Whether gold or silver, a beautiful necklace can complete any outfit. It can be a subtle, dainty piece that adds a hint of elegance or a bold statement necklace that draws attention. Layering multiple delicate necklaces can also create a modern and sophisticated look. No matter the style, a well-chosen necklace elevates every outfit you put together.

A leather bag
A classic leather bag is a true investment piece. Thanks to its durability and natural texture, it ages beautifully and develops character over time. Choose a timeless design in a neutral color like black, brown, or beige — perfect for both casual and formal occasions. It’s not just practical but also a stylish companion that complements any wardrobe.

A silk scarf
Elegant and versatile, a silk scarf adds a touch of luxury to any look. You can wear it around your neck, tie it in your hair, or wrap it around the handle of your bag for a chic twist. With endless styling possibilities and a soft, luxurious feel, a silk scarf brings color and sophistication to your outfits season after season.

Sunglasses are the perfect mix of style and function. They protect your eyes from the sun while instantly giving you a confident and polished look. A timeless pair — think aviators, cat-eye, or round frames — can be worn all year round and elevate even the simplest outfit.

A belt
This essential accessory is both practical and stylish. A leather belt helps define your silhouette, adds structure to your outfit, and gives a refined finish. Whether worn with jeans, trousers, or a dress, a quality belt is a small detail that makes a big difference.

A watch
A classic watch is more than just a timepiece — it’s a statement of style. Whether you prefer a minimalist leather strap or an all-gold or silver design, a good watch adds polish and sophistication to your look. It’s an accessory that never goes out of style and completes any outfit effortlessly.

Why do these accessories feel “Timeless”

These accessories feel timeless because they perfectly combine classic design, enduring quality, and versatile style. These items can be worn year after year and still look effortlessly stylish. Neutral colors, such as black, brown, beige, or metallic tones, make them easy to pair with any outfit, while their simple yet elegant designs allow them to complement a wide range of styles, from casual to formal.

Beyond their appearance, these pieces are built to last. Leather ages beautifully, metals retain their shine, and quality fabrics endure through seasons, meaning the longer you own them, the more character and charm they gain. In essence, timeless accessories aren’t just fashion items, they’re investments in your wardrobe that grow with you.

Quality over quantity

When buying new accessories, remember that style doesn’t have to come with a huge price tag, but quality still matters. You don’t need to splurge on designer pieces, yet it’s wise to avoid items made with very cheap materials. While low-cost accessories might seem like a good deal at first, they often wear out quickly, fade, or lose their shape, meaning you’ll end up replacing them more often. In the long run, investing in slightly better quality pieces saves both money and waste.

If you’re on a budget, consider exploring second-hand stores, vintage shops, or small local brands. These places often carry well-made, unique pieces that offer great value without the high cost. Plus, shopping second-hand or from smaller labels is a more sustainable way to build your collection, you’ll find accessories with character, history, craftsmanship that truly last and that is also better for the earth.
