Elevating Basics: Brooches & Buttons

When it comes to curating your capsule wardrobe, simple is often best. However, I love elevating the simple by adding accents to give my outfits a chic twist. The right accessories and accents can dress up the most basic outfit, giving each outfit more versatility.

Brooches

Brooches are possibly the most obvious accessory to elevate a simple outfit. A brooch can be worn on a any item of clothing from the collars of your shirts to the breast of your jackets. If you feel like branching out further, you can accessoris your hats and jeans too. There are no rules when it comes to how or where to style your chosen brooches allowing you to stay true to your style identity. Below are a few simple ideas to try.

Buttons

Another incredibly simple way to elevate a simple jacket or button down shirt is to change the buttons. Have you ever found the perfect blouse or top but feel like something is missing? Choosing fastenings that have more character will transform your entire outfit, making it look more elevated. I love to mix and match differnt buttons on any one garment to make it more interesting. If you are not ready to commit to changing the buttons on your favourite basic, consider using button covers to try out this styling tip first.
