By Natalie Roytman on February 12, 2014

Sometimes you try on an outfit and feel like there’s something missing. Well, chances are, there is! There are a number of accessories that can help complete your outfit and make you feel your best. You can pick and choose your favorites and make them your staple accessories for every day! Here are the best accessories and a few places where you can buy them:

1. Belts

A belt isn’t just made to hold your jeans up anymore. There are several ways to wear a belt that will make your outfit stand out. You can wear a waist-level belt with a dress to make the dress look more fitted on your body. You can also wear a vibrant belt with jeans and a shorter shirt, so you can show it off.

2. Scarves

Scarves are must-have accessories. They are great for every season. You can get colorful or floral scarves for the summer and fall, and knitted scarves for the winter. They accentuate every outfit. You can wear solid colors and throw a scarf on, and it will completely change your look.

3. Satchels

These are both convenient and fashionable. Satchels usually go across your body and act as an accessory. Solid colored satchels match every outfit and are easy to carry around.

5. Sunglasses

These aren’t only essential in the summertime. It is sunny all year round, so there’s nothing wrong with wearing sunglasses when it is snowing outside. Whip out those aviators and face the sun in style.

These are seen more rarely, but they are stylish and pretty. Head wraps are like headbands, but you wear them over your head and give off a cool hippie vibe. Not everyone thinks they can pull these off, but with the right outfit, you can!
