Choosing and
Using Accessories
BY CHARLENE BROWNLEE
The use of accessories in wom
en’s wardrobes today is becoming
more and more a popular trend.
However, the correct or incorrect
use of these accessories can make
or break a costume. So special at
tention to the choosing and using
of them is necessary. The correct
use of accessories can work for
you in four ways: adapt a cos
tume to fit the occasion, make a
costume more fashionable or up
to-date, make clothing more be
coming to you, or satisfy your
desire for variety in dress.
Many of you may be wonder
ing—‘Just how can I make ac
cessories work for me?” The goal
in combining accessories is to
achieve the total look through
harmony of color, size, shape,
and idea. Color is the first ele
ment you notice about an outfit.
Thus it should be a prime con
sideration in accessorizing. The
following are a few suggestions
that will give you a basis for
choice of color. Neutral colors—
black, brown, navy, beige, gray,
or white—used as accessories are
much easier to harmonize with an
outfit than bright colors. There
fore, neutrals are an asset in a
limited wardrobe. Bright colors in
accessories must be used with
special caution, because they call
attention to the area where they
are used. Such colors should be
used to create a desirable center
of interest. Harmony of size is
achieved when the size of the ac
cessory is in proportion to the
size of the wearer. Harmony of
shape is achieved by selecting
items of similar form . . . either
curved or angular. Hat, purse,
and jewelry sizes and shapes
should be chosen only after
careful examination in a full
length mirror. To achieve har
mony of idea suit the accessories
to the season, the occasion and
the personality of the wearer.
The greatest violation of harmony
of ideas is combining formal ac
cessories with casual clothing or
casual wear with formal cloth
ing. Be sure you don’t make this
mistake.
Changes in activities and the
time of day require a change in
accessories. It is important to
know what to wear and when to
wear it. Have you learned these
important steps? Learn the cor
rect method of choosing and us
ing of accessories in your ward
robe.
