As 2018 approaches the final stretch, some of us may be partaking in the merry-making festivities in Singapore, while others may want to soak in the buzzing atmosphere at a more far flung location. Wherever you may be, it goes without saying that you’ll be dressed to the nines to ring in the new year. Don’t forget your outfit’s BFFs though — we’re talking about your accessories. These critical accoutrements will make or break your look.
Whether you’re heading to the toasty Maldives or celebrating a white Christmas in Milan, here are 12 of the best pieces that’ll keep you both comfortable and stylish while you’re toasting to the new year.
Bonus? Nothing’s above S$100. Hey, more cash to spend on celebratory cocktails!
Summer getaway
A pair of statement earrings will easily elevate your outfit without much fuss. Wear this playful pair with a maxi sun dress while you raise your glasses to celebrate the end of 2018.
The perfect summer ensemble is a white mini dress and a pair of nude sandals. Pair that outfit with this paisley printed scarf, but use it as a headband to add a splash of colour and a dash of sass.
A three layered necklace adds depth to your outfit, and is a great option if you do not wish to carry too much jewellery while travelling. Wear this underneath a loosely buttoned denim shirt and a pair of white cut-offs for an elegant feel.
If you’d own too many straw bags, try the crochet purse as an alternative. We hear it’s the next big thing. This white accessory will look great when paired with a bright yellow number.
Do not underestimate the importance of a small bracelet. Though delicate, they can add a touch of playfulness to your floral #OOTD. Tip: Wear a few of these together to make them stand out.
Winter wonderland
Scarves are perfect when it comes to protecting your neck from the icy cold gusts of wind. This piece from Zara features sporadic stripe prints, which will add volume and depth to your monochromatic winter ensemble.
A large tote bag is essential when it comes to keeping all your belongings safe during your vacation. Eschew a plain ol’ boring one and go for a bold bag that comes in leopard print. You know what’s great about it? It’s faux fur, so it’s free from animal cruelty. We approve.
A beanie is both functional and stylish. Get a red one from Uniqlo’s Heattech range to spice up your monochrome winter ensemble. Bonus: They keep your head and ears extra warm as you wait for the balloons to drop.
Keep your hands toasty without losing the style aspect. Grab a pair that’s fashioned in houndstooth print — it will add texture to a wool peacoat and a pair of black booties combo.
Comfy and versatile, a pair of black ankle booties is a travel essential. Dress this down with an oversized pullover and a pair of denim jeans for everyday activities and don it with a navy blue wool maxi number for a dressier look while celebrating the festivities.
Not only will these faux fur ear muffs look cute when matched with a soft pink cape coat, it will also keep them nice and snug. Plus, you’ll look totes girly.
