13 Must-Have Wardrobe Essentials

Essential No. 12: Non-boring accessories

We’ll admit, so far these essentials have been pretty basic. You might be thinking, “I don’t want to look cookie-cutter, I want to show off my own style!” And to that we say: accessories.

They’re literally the easiest (not to mention cheapest) way to add style and personality to any outfit. Wear what you love, although Inlander has a few guidelines for work: 1. Every gal needs a nice watch — think stainless steal over leather. Inlander suggests checking out Macys for plenty of nice/affordable options. 2. Dangly earrings, loud bangles and giant rings aren’t typically office-appropriate, so keep them to a minimum. You can have a little more fun with necklaces though, like Hilary Duff did here, since these can be dramatic without looking tacky.
