Accessories: this is how you should combine them according to experts to elevate your looks this season

"Accessories are like fashion vitamins, as such, you should use them freely," once said the always iconic Anna Dello Russo. And it is that an outfit, no matter how good it is, will never be completely complete without a good bag, the right belt, or the perfect sunglasses. That's why, today we will dedicate our post to those small pieces that make our looks turn into stunning looks with very little. Let's get to it.

What would Sarah Jessica Parker's styles be without her incredible pairs of shoes? And what about Brad Pitt's without his iconic sunglasses? Accessories are essential (whether or not we are celebrities) for our outfits to be remembered, and for better or worse, they can completely change our looks. Something as simple as a scarf can become the perfect shawl when it starts to cool down after an afternoon in the sun at a summer beach bar, and a cap can be the key 'street style' touch to subtract seriousness from our most classic looks. Be that as it may, at Esdemarca we have them all, and at ESD Magazine we tell you how to combine them.

1- Caps and hats
Caps have long since returned to stay. Now, this accessory - previously relegated only to the most sporty looks - has become the perfect complement to blazers, dresses, and jeans. From classic baseball to the most modern ones with logos or prints, there is a cap for every occasion (and Lady Di already demonstrated it at the time).
Continuing with the head accessories, we cannot fail to mention hats. Wide-brimmed ones are perfect for protecting you from the sun in style during the summer, and 'fisherman' or 'bucket hat' are ideal if you want to be up-to-date in terms of trends. A tip: the best way to wear them is with a low updo, it will look much more modern and elegant.

2- Bags and crossbodies
The summit of accessories, the Holy Grail, or our favorite object. Call it what you want, but a good bag or crossbody is undoubtedly that essential item to make a difference. Now that we can finally say that we have entered the summer (the thermometers have spoken), very good options can be those models of raffia, straw, or cloth. If on the contrary you still prefer models in leather or faux leather, opt for bright colors that add that summery touch to your outfit. A tip: tie a colored scarf on one of the handles; you can do it in the form of a bow or wrapping it around the handle. You will love the result.

3- Belts
Belts arose with a clear mission: to hold a piece of clothing. Now, its function is very different: to adjust our garments so that they adapt to our body, yes, but also to provide that extra touch of elegance, fun, and fashion. Buckles with logos, colors, studs, and even the combination of several belts in the same look perfectly fulfill this other - but equally important - goal. A tip: add a belt over your favorite blazer to mark silhouette, it will completely transform your outfit.

4- Casual backpacks
Casual backpacks have ceased to be a simple object of functionality to become an essential in our wardrobe. For a casual look, you can combine your casual backpack with high-waisted jeans, a basic shirt, and sports shoes. On the other hand, if you want to give an elegant touch, leather backpacks or similar can be the perfect solution. Try to match them with a simple cut dress and medium heel boots. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and safe with your choice, as a well-chosen backpack can be the piece that makes your personal style stand out.
