6 Fashion Accessories to Give You an Edge

Nothing projects the image you want of project of yourself more boldly and stylishly than trendy fashion accessories. So let's take a look at what our experts at SheKnows have come up with to give you a definite edge over your competitors and detractors.

• Glamorous Glitter: If you want to add a sparkle to your stylish and glamorous persona, then glitter is the thing for you. The only thing is not to overdo it; otherwise you will end up looking like a disco ball. Our favorite is Anya Hindmarch blue glitter clutch (my-wardrobe.com, $395.00). This ultra-stylish purse is perfect for cocktail evenings.

• Masculine-inspired Time Pieces: Time pieces never go out of style. And as the gender disparity becomes smaller, the attraction towards masculine-inspired fashion designs grows bigger. Of the many fashion accessories in trend out there, our pick is Marc by Marc Jacobs (Bloomingdales, $250.00) watch which has a definite boyish feel. Wear it and your boyfriend will not be able to ignore it.

• Petite Purses: Carrying just the essentials and nothing more is in trend. Petite purses are perfect for fashionable girls who do not want to be seen toting oversized and overstuffed bags that drag them down. These eye-catching mini bags are small enough to dangle by your finger, but have ample space for your essentials, including a cell phone. Our favorite is the mini plaid Tory Burch bag (toryburch.com, $325.00).

• Mash-up of Color and Texture: A breakout of colors and texture is always more attractive and interesting than a single color or texture. If you want to make a fashion statement and grab the attention of admirers, go the multi-colored accessories. They come in endless combinations and are fun to wear. Our favorite is cap-toe ankle boots (Zara, $129.00), which have a combination of four rich colors - black body, snake-print toe, dark gray heel and rich red top.

• Statement Gloves: Basic black gloves are so yesterday. Go for the ones with eye-catching color, pattern, style and detailing. Your hands are among the most active and prominent parts of your body. Give them the ability to make a style statement of their own. Our favorites are look-at-me leather gloves in bold shade of turquoise (Tiffany & Co., $275.00).

• Get-noticed Neckwear: Everyone wears demure necklaces; they are hardly attention-grabbers. If you want to have a definite edge over your competitors, then go for the eye-catching designs with chunky beads, bold colors and unique shapes. Our pick is a gold-plated statement necklace featuring bold resin stones in orange (Amrita Singh, $250.00).
