UP YOUR LOOK WITH UNCONVENTIONAL MATERIALS

Texture is one of the most powerful mediums in fashion and is often one of the most under-rated.

If you’re not big into bright, showy accessories, then why not think about using an interesting material to make a statement.

A black leather necklace layered over a black top adds interest without contrast, or some wooden earrings give a simple look a boho feel.

Metal is big in accessories. Choose your flavour, gold, silver or even rose gold and add the finishing touch to your everyday style.

Here are a few pieces made from interesting and different materials that you could add to your accessories wardrobe.

Forever New faux fur wrap $89.99 / Colette by Colette Hayman feather hoop earrings $22.99 / Merchant 1948 “Ursula” sandal $249.95 / Seed fabric earrings $34.90 / Max chunky metallic earrings $19.99 / Zara wooden slat cross body bag $69.90

So there are just a few ideas to bring something a little bit different to your accessory wardrobe. Play with texture and have fun with different materials, it’s a great way to show off your own unique style.
