Accessories are the easiest way to update your look to be au courant. The woven bag is something that continues to be a hot favourite of Instagram It girls, while layered necklaces are great for women of all age groups. If you’re blessed with a small face, do embrace mini lens sunglasses.

And if you love the ‘90’s, there’s no better time than now to throw on big hooped earrings and chunky dad sneakers.
