Finally, the accessories get the center stage. During Fashion Week runways, the audience gets a good look at the designs and the models but never a closer look at the accessories that actually enhance the designs. This time around they will be the one on center stage and get their moment in spotlight. On Sept 14 at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall with Harper’s Bazaar Accessories Bazaar the works of accessories designers such as Alexis Bittar, Philip Crangi and many more will be showcased. These accessories have been taken straight from the 2011 runways where most of the time the details are not seen and only plays second fiddle to the designer clothes.

By definition, an accessory is “something extra or secondary thing which may be an article worn or carried to complete one’s costume or a piece of optional equipment for convenience, comfort, appearance such as accessories of an automobile.” It is nonessential but desirable and contributes to an effect or result. Fashion accessories are decorative items that complement and enhance the clothes or attire. The most common accessories used by women are jewelry, handbags, sunglasses and scarves while men’s accessories are watches, belts, hats, and neckties. Bracelets, necklaces, and earrings are accessories that transcend social status because even simple ones can be used as accessories. Hair accessories can also be used to create a unique look or complete the look you want. The accessories you wear depend on what look you want to create or where you are going. Although it serves to add color, style, and class to an outfit some accessories are also functional. Take for example the handbags which not only add certain panache to your outfit but it can also be used for carrying small necessary items such as mobile phones.

While it is easy to accessorize your outfit when going off to a party by adding jewelry, necklace, bracelets and earrings it would be a mistake to use the same accessories for an everyday look at the office. A common mistake professionals do is either over accessorize or no accessories at all. This is because they think that fashion accessories are limited to jewelry and the likes. When wearing corporate uniforms, it would be difficult and ostentatious to put so much jewelry. For one, some companies include the non-jewelry policy in their dress code. Also some jewelry is not really suited for company business attire. For a corporate uniform, accessories to choose from would be handbags. Nowadays, there are so many kinds of handbags suited for professionals who are always on the go. Backpacks in trendy, functional and practical leather in vibrant colors are now available; one only has to coordinate the color with the uniform. Briefcase folios attaches, computer laptop bags, messenger and sling bags need not look rugged at all. These accessory bags not only carry important documents but can serve to complete your corporate and professional look.

Take a closer look at the other accessories not only jewelries. These items may not be essential but they certainly add color and style to how you look, even in your everyday corporate uniform. There are so many other styles, one just has to look for these details and not be limited to jewelry. And they also need not be expensive, one just need to be creative. For those who cannot do away with jewelry, find costume jewelry at flea markets and vintage stores which is where you can find great cheap jewelry. There is also a plethora of young costume jewelers who sell their jewelry at reasonable prices. Experts also add that when it is no longer fashionable to be forever buying bags. If you have the urge to splurge then get a new bag to update your look but choose a classic and timeless design which you can use for your discount uniforms as well as different occasions and which you would feel right having for a long time.
