Accessorizing is one of the most fun and enjoyable aspects of being a fashionista and something that we secretly relish. But finding accessories that make you stand out in a crowd can be a challenge. Not only is there a lot of choice, but most people are desensitized to the majority of items out there. It is hard to grab their attention above the rest of the visual noise.
In this post, we’re going to take a look at some of the accessories that can really make you “pop” in a crowd. Take a look at them for yourself.
Anything Related To Cacti
Do you like cacti? You know, the big green spiky things you find in the desert. Well, if you do, then it can be a great way to make you stand out in a crowd. You can now get all sorts of cactus-themed accessories, including earrings, bags, and scarves. The brighter, greener, and pricklier they are, the better.
Anything Related To Harry Potter Or Hogwarts
Harry Potter is more of a cultural phenomenon than cacti, so it has the potential to make you stand out even more. Today you can get a range of Hogwarts-themed bags and accessories to make you feel like the wizard you are on the inside.
Sushi Brooches
If you want to stand out in a crowd, just add unexpected visuals.
Sushi brooches are a pairing that you’d never expect. Plus, you can get them nigiri, sashimi, and cone style.
Floral Baseball Caps
Most baseball caps are hopelessly sporty, but there are exceptions. Take floral velvet caps, for instance. These have the same shape as their conventional counterparts but come covered in beautiful petals, providing a more feminine look.
Cat-Eye Glasses
If you’ve ever read a glasses buying guide, you’ll know that different frames suit differently-shaped faces. People with heart-shaped faces, for instance, are best choosing glasses that lengthen their faces. Well, if you’re lucky enough to have an oval-shaped head (don’t worry, it doesn’t look as bad as it sounds), then you might want to try your luck with “cat-eye” glasses. These are just like regular frames, but with extra protrusions in the top left and right corners. They’re snazzy, sexy, and stylish. Try them.
A Designer Scarf That Is Actually Made From Tableware
Designer scarves aren’t cheap. It is not unusual to shell out hundreds of dollars. But they are undoubtedly beautiful. They make you feel priceless.
But what if your bank balance won’t stretch that far? Well, you’re in luck. It turns out that you can now buy tableware that doubles up as designer scarves but at a mere fraction of the cost. Choose something bright, funky, and delicate for that super chic look.
Oversized Tweed Earrings
People won’t expect to see tweed on jewelry, so it can be a powerful tool for getting you noticed. What’s more, designers usually make them much larger than regular earrings, helping enhance your visibility.
Lacy Leggings
Regular leggings are all the rage right now. A lot of us don’t even bother wearing skirts with them. What’s the point?
Now, though, there’s a move to take the movement a step further and start wearing lacy leggings too. You’ve got to be brave, but it’s so worth it if you can pull it off.
Glam Cocktail Rings
Have you ever wanted to wear a giant rock on your finger that nobody believes cost $5?
Well, thanks to the millions of artisan jewel makers out there on Etsy, you now can. These guys are pumping out bespoke items by the thousands. Snap yourself a deal before you miss the opportunity.
Anything That Says “LOVE” In Caps On It
If you want to stand out in a crowd, plastering the word “love” on your accessories is a great place to start. The I “LOVE” NY brand understood this from the get-go. There’s something about the highest human emotion that automatically gets people looking in your direction. After all, isn’t love what it’s all about?
A Ribbon Scrunchie
Scrunchies are an excellent way to keep your hair pinned back and in a nice neat ball on top of your head. But they’re not exactly attention-grabbers, are they?
Ribbon scrunchies, by contrast, offer you the full-works. Not only do they hold everything in position, but they also look sensational. They’re like a tassel or a racehorse.
Goose Pendants
Do you have a penchant for waterfowl? If so, you might want to try experimenting with a goose pendant and necklace at your next social outing (whenever that happens to be).
Kissing swans are a good option too, as is anything that incorporates ducks – everyone’s favorite creature.
Mixed Material Cuff Bracelet
Cuff bracelets are one of the best ways to make you stand out in a crowd. They’re big, bold, and have a certain edginess about them that you can’t find in other types of jewelry.
Try finding mixed material cuffs. These are ideal for getting that rock-chick look and great for when you want to fire up a conversation at a party.
Bags With Cross-Stitch Features
Faux leather bags look amazing without any embellishment. But when you add some cross-stitch elements, they reach a whole new level of style and sophistication. Look for bags that offer ornate detailing, knitted into the leather material, and make everyone you know feel jealous.
The great thing about the modern accessory market is that you no longer need to pay sky-high prices to get unique fashion items. Marketplaces like Etsy mean that any artisan with the requisite skill can start a business and begin flogging their wares. Standing out, therefore, has become more accessible. And the risk of wearing the same thing as the other girl at the party is much lower. You can be unique and totally different from everyone else with minimal effort.
Where possible, choose the unexpected and the artistically dangerous. Be brave with your choices. When you want to stand out from the crowd, taking the middle road is not an option.
