Accessorize with these 4 brands to elevate even your most basic outfits

Whether you’re starting to feel a little tired of your day-to-day outfits, or you’ve been in a style rut recently, it might be time for a style update. Before you overhaul your entire closet, consider adding accessories into your daily rotation instead to update your looks. 

Sometimes, even the most reliable staples can come across as basic, but that’s where accessories can really shine! Staples like jeans and a white tee are just examples of the perfect canvas for you to project your mood and aesthetic. Accessories? Well, they’re the cherry on top. Up ahead are some of my favourite ways you can completely elevate or freshen up even the most basic of outfits.

Fjallraven – Bags, Belts, and Caps

It’s no secret that bags play a big part in any outfit. So the perfect bag to me is one that takes me from office workdays to running errands on busy Sunday mornings – which is why it makes perfect sense that my Fjallraven Kanke is the bag I reach for every day. Kankens are one of the most lightweight and versatile backpacks in the market, and they are also incredibly durable.

I’ve had mine for a few years now, and scruffs and slight wear-and-tear aside, it still looks almost good as new whenever I finally give it a good scrub. They come in almost every colour of the rainbow so you can pick one that truly screams you. The best part? They breathe a pop of colour and new life into any ol’ outfit. 

With GSS now in full swing, take this time to finally stock up and invest in quality staples that you know you’ll continue using for the years to come. Kankens by Fjallraven can be one of them, and you can get one at just ⅓ of its price today!

The best way to pay? It’s with hoolah – 3 easy, interest-free installments are all you need.

Raise your hand if you didn’t know Fjallraven also sold accessories! Just the other day, I stumbled onto their selection of drinkware and accessories and I couldn’t resist checking out just a few things for myself. 

When it comes to elevating an outfit, it’s essential to add not only pops of colour, but also a few textured pieces to bring dimensions to your look. I find that the easiest way for me to incorporate texture into any outfit is by adding either a belt or a cap. For an earthy and more neutral palette, opt for a canvas belt with a brass cap. Feeling like reconnecting with nature? Throw on a cap and grab a Kanken – now you’re all set for your next great adventure. 
Excited to shop Fjallraven’s collection of outdoor-chic accessories? I know that exact feeling. Cart out with hoolah and get what you want, whenever you need it. All it takes is just 3 interest-free installments and voila, you can now sit back and relax while waiting for your parcel from Fjallraven to arrive.

Freshly Pressed Socks – Socks

There’s nothing better than a fashion hack that requires not only very minimal effort, but also very minimal funds. I’m referring to socks – but more specifically, the ones from Freshly Pressed Socks! Socks are often overlooked in the grand scheme of fashion, but they are tiny giants when it comes to influencing the way people look at your outfit. They act as a shot of fresh colour and vibrancy whenever a little peeks through, and that alone is enough to refresh your entire look. 

And if you prefer keeping things on the DL (down low), they can be like your secret identity that nobody else knows! Wearing sushi socks with a tailored suit? Nobody has to know.

Taizjo – Crossbody Cases

Crossbody cases are all the rage, and nobody does them quite as well as Taizjo. Imagine a bag and a phone case had a baby, and the baby is now your newest crossbody case. A hands-free case that you can carry like a bag is genius and incredibly useful if you’re already on your second phone screen replacement – oops, butterfingers. 

They bring a pop of style to any outfit because of how similar they are to bags. Don’t feel like carrying anything with you because your phone has everything? Get a crossbody case for your phone from Taizjo and it can now double up as a bag and an accessory.
