Chris on Clothes: how to accessorise

Though he is only 14, Chris Glabb loves blogging, and you can read his stuff at www.christophersfashion.com. He’s Canadian, an avid cat lover, and a style trendsetter.

One of my most frequently asked questions is… should accessories really match? I find this question so intriguing because it was a question I really had to ask myself before answering. I decided the best way to do it was to Google some outfits, look at my faves, and finally decide for good if they should really match? While searching through photos (all rights reserved to the original owners, I chose the photos for content, and do not own any of them)

Finally, I got my answer.

In these outfits, the accessories don’t totally match each other, but they match and add to the outfits!

Another example is this one.

The gold colours in these three rings do not match. One is a rose gold, another regular gold, and the last a white gold (or possibly silver). And yet, I love these rings! They’d go great with a black leather bracelet, like this one.

Which is yet another example of why accessories do not have to match.

But here is an example I love, where the accessories do match!

And, I love it just as much as the first 2!

Now, the question was ‘should the accessories match? ‘. I’m sorry to everyone who asks this, but this is my final answer…

I think that accessories shouldn’t match… And I also think they should!

Your style is something you create. Something only you can change. If you like your accessories matching, match them. If not, then so be it.

Just remember, accessories are used to add to an outfit, and they’re not the whole outfit themselves… They can’t be.
