How to choose the right color of accessories?

When the weather is gray or the snow is falling, our clothes are sometimes the only way to add a little color to the landscape. But to choose the right color for your accessories, you should base your choice on the color of your coat, jacket, or down jacket. Whether your coat is neutral or brightly colored, you won't choose your accessories in the same way.

With a neutral colored coat

A black, beige, gray, or navy blue jacket can easily be enhanced with a colorful scarf or handkerchief. To choose the right one, you should base your decision on your color profile.

- If you are a spring woman, and you are wearing a brown coat, you can choose a scarf in shades of peach or soft yellow . If you have a gray down jacket, a sky blue or lavender will be perfect. Finally, if you are wearing a black parka, pinkish beige and powder pink will highlight your complexion.

- If you're a summer woman and you swear by navy coats, pair it with a pearl gray or bright white to highlight your complexion. If you're more of a beige puffer jacket person, a lilac or sea green will add some pep. You can also opt for shades of soft coral or salmon to add warmth to your outfit.

- If you're an autumn woman, and you're wearing a black parka, pair it with a slate gray or olive green scarf to add depth. If you have a beige duffle coat, choose a Bordeaux red or pumpkin orange silk scarf to create a pretty monochrome. Finally, if you swear by the oversized gray houndstooth blazer, you can mix it with a pretty mustard yellow or cinnamon brown knit scarf to highlight our features.

- If you are a winter woman and you have bought yourself a beautiful navy blue trench coat, you can try the total look with a navy scarf or brighten it up with a very bright snow white . If you have a charcoal gray coat, you can pair it with a big fuchsia pink or emerald green scarf. Finally, to brighten up your complexion, opt for carmine red knits or simply deep blacks.

Choosing the right scarf is essential, especially in winter when we tend to have a duller complexion. Knowing your colors will brighten and awaken your natural beauty and highlight your complexion. The wrong color, on the other hand, will highlight redness and dark circles. Now's your chance to shine this winter!

With a colorful jacket/coat

To choose the right winter coat, consider choosing a color that matches your season. Pink, red, navy blue, purple, or even orange—it's all about having fun. Your jacket will be the foundation of your look, and your accessories and scarves will accentuate your natural features and keep you warm!

Beiges, browns and ecrus for the so-called warm seasons, grays, whites and blacks for the cold seasons.

How to wear jewelry?

In winter and autumn, we sometimes find it difficult to wear jewelry because it's so buried under layers of clothing, scarves, and hats. However, when used properly, it can add a lovely finishing touch to your look.

- Opt for brooches. Added to your hats or the collars of your coats, brooches and pretty pins bring light to your looks. Be careful to choose the brooch metal that matches your season. Once you've chosen the one you need, you can attach it anywhere, on your sweaters, on your sweatshirts to feminize them, or on the cuff of your hat.

- Don't neglect hair jewelry. Barrettes, headbands, or fancy scrunchies will add a touch of sophistication that will make all the difference.

- Dare to wear XXL earrings . To highlight your posture, don't hesitate to wear large earrings to draw the light towards your face. Hoops, giants, XXL pearls, or even 90s-style flowers—anything goes.

In winter, more than ever, the key is to capture the light to brighten your look. It's up to you to let your creativity run wild and get noticed.

How to choose the right stockings?

Tights and stockings are essential if you want to continue wearing skirts or shorts all year round. For the past two seasons, brown tights have been gaining popularity. Their shade is softer than black tights but more elegant than flesh-colored tights. Try them and you'll love them!

In very cold weather, cashmere or wool tights are essential. Here too, the color choices are endless. To spice up a very classic outfit or a little black dress, you can have fun playing with colors. Pink, gray, blue, or green tights— it's the winter of all possibilities. If you want to play the femme fatale or add a touch of fun, there are printed tights with a simple line down the back of the leg, with checks or polka dots.

Leg warmers are also making a comeback this year. If you have sensitive ankles, these are a great option. If you're looking for a more delicate and less flashy solution, a simple pair of knee-high socks with stitched details will be perfect. Pearls, rhinestones, Lurex—there's something for everyone.

Hat or beanie, which one to choose?

Depending on your tastes and your look, you can choose between a hat and a beanie to keep your head warm all winter long. One sophisticated, the other more casual, both will add the finishing touch to your winter look.

The hat for a super elegant and feminine look

From fedoras to cloches to wide-brimmed hats, there are a variety of styles to choose from to suit your outfit and mood. For a stylish and sophisticated look, a stylish hat is essential. Like caps, they can also protect you from the rain and sun, while looking much more chic.

The hat for the practical and casual side

There's nothing like a cute knit beanie to keep you warm! More casual than a hat, it's perfect for more informal occasions or in very cold weather. Depending on the material, your beanie will be more or less warm, and you can even match it with your gloves and scarf. Finally, they're very practical and take up little space; they can be placed in your handbag or suitcase to avoid cluttering you up!

Which bag to choose for which body type?

A-line silhouette: Opt for shoulder bags to balance proportions and draw attention to the upper body. Avoid fanny packs and crossbody bags, which will make your hips look thicker.

H-Shaped Silhouette: Opt for structured bags that create volume to add an interesting dimension to your look.

O-Shaped Silhouette: Bucket bags are ideal for this body shape, creating a harmonious contrast. However, avoid mini bags, which might not flatter your generous curves.

V-shaped silhouette: Opt for shoulder or cross-body handbags to widen the hip line.

X-Shaped Silhouette: Waist-defining fanny packs are perfect for highlighting your curves while freeing up your hands. Generally speaking, any bag will suit your body shape. However, if you're petite, avoid oversized bags, and if you're tall, forget mini bags.

The most important thing is to choose your bag according to your tastes. If you're an A and you've fallen for a messenger bag, go ahead and treat yourself. The key to feeling beautiful is to choose accessories that you like, even if they don't match our body shape recommendations. ;)
