Complete Your Look: How to Style Sunglasses, Watches and Earrings
You can wear a white T-shirt and simple trousers, then add striking sunglasses and an elegant watch, and the whole look changes. That is the magic of styling accessories. Here are easy rules to master it.
The golden rule: keep it simple
Choose one piece to be the "hero" of your look and keep the other accessories quiet. If you wear statement earrings, pair them with a simple watch.
Sunglasses: choose by face shape
| Face shape | Suitable frame |
|---|---|
| Round | Square or rectangular frames that add angles |
| Square | Round or oval frames that soften the features |
| Oval | Most shapes suit it |
| Heart | Frames wider at the bottom or light round frames |
Tip: round gold-frame sunglasses add a refined classic touch and suit summer looks. More important than the shape: make sure they offer UV protection, especially under Egypt's strong sun.
Watches: a watch for every occasion
- Work and meetings: a watch with a simple dial and a leather or metal strap.
- Sport: a smartwatch that tracks your activity.
- Evenings: a slim watch in gold or silver.
- Casual: a white watch suits light colours and summer outfits.
Matching rule: try to match the metal colour of your watch with your other accessories (gold with gold, silver with silver).
Earrings: by face shape and occasion
- Drop earrings: lengthen the face and suit round faces and evening events.
- Studs: elegant and right for work and everyday wear.
- Crystal earrings: catch the light and add beautiful sparkle for events and weddings.
Tip: with a high neckline, choose drop earrings. With open or busy necklines, small studs are enough.
Matching accessories with colours
- Neutral clothes (white, black, beige): a chance for colourful or shiny accessories.
- Patterned or colourful clothes: choose calm accessories in a single colour.
- Monochrome looks: gold adds warmth, silver adds a cool modern feel.
Don't forget your bag and shoes
Accessories work as one system, and your bag and shoes are part of it. Try to link them through colour or material for a coordinated look.
