Getting dressed is always much of a struggle, right? Not exactly. That’s because you’ve not built out your closet with a collection of easy-to-wear finishing touches.  Instantly feeling more put together and fabulously chic often comes down to the last little things you add to your outfit. It’s in fact amazing how a great accessory or a trendy shoe can immediately elevate any basic outfit.

From dramatic lip colours to oversized sunglasses, sky-high heels, hanging hoops and more, here are some easy finishing touches that will have you instantly feeling more chic.

Two-Tone Bracelet Wristwatch 

A bracelet wristwatch is possibly the chicest finishing piece one can own because it has the ability to immediately take any outfit up a notch. A two-tone bracelet wristwatch is therefore worth the investment.

Hoop Earrings

It’s no secret that hanging hoops are the ultimate cool-girl accessory. You could be wearing sweats, but if you put in a pair of gold hoops, it’s suddenly a look.

Oversized Sunglasses 

A pair of oversized sunglasses in an eye-popping shade is just the chicest way to look extra fashionable. This works wonders even when you have no eye makeup on.

Sky-High Platform

This piece has taken its rightful place at the top of this year’s footwear pyramid. With the addition of a block heel, these are an ultra-stylish finishing touch that make any outfit complete;  and they truly go with everything from jeans to dresses.

Satin Lip Colour

It’s no secret that wearing lipstick can dramatically change your mood, make you feel sexy and confident. Generally, no look is complete without a lip colour; but a satin sheen will further add an extra touch of glamour to any ensemble. A quick swipe of a great lipstick therefore makes for a great finishing.

Oversized Pastel Blazer

Equally cozy as a cardigan but 10 times better when it comes to style, the oversized blazer is the perfect outerwear for the season. Luckily, different brands are creating more and more of it in different prints, materials, and colours, making them fit to be worn beyond the boardroom.
