A few accents are enough to change the image and update the wardrobe. Fashion expert Natalia Semenova, founder of the Higher School of Image and Style, told Izvestia about this on March 16.

"Every spring, there is a familiar desire to update the wardrobe. After a long winter, you want lightness, fresh colors and a sense of change. But updating does not mean large—scale shopping and a complete change of clothes," the expert said.

There is a simple professional trick in fashion: start updating with accessories. According to a fashion expert, sometimes a few details are enough to make familiar things play in a new way. A scarf or stole is one of the fastest ways to change an image.

"They can literally change the mood of an image in a second. For example, if you add a soft cashmere stole to the base coat, the whole set will look more thoughtful and expensive. Deep complex shades such as chocolate, graphite, olive work especially effectively," the expert noted.

As Semenova emphasized, the bag is an accent that can change the whole set. Even if the clothes remain the same, a new bag can completely change the impression of the image. In spring, soft leather models, structured bags of small size, as well as bags in shades of chocolate, caramel and graphite are especially relevant. Such accessories easily fit into a basic wardrobe and blend in with most things.

In addition, the specialist said that sunglasses are one of the most expressive accessories that set the style for the whole image. Large frames create the effect of fashionable drama, minimalistic models add intelligence, and vintage shapes make the image more fashionable. In spring, glasses become the central part of the image.

According to the expert, the belt is often underestimated, but it can significantly change the silhouette, making the image more collected and adding a sense of expensive simplicity. In spring, belts are relevant, as they can be worn with coats, jackets, and dresses, perfectly emphasizing the waist. In addition, jewelry completes the look. Laconic gold earrings, layered chains and large bracelets will be especially relevant in the spring.

"It is important to remember a simple rule: fewer ornaments are better, but more expressive ones. Minimalism looks much more expensive today than overloaded combinations," Semenova concluded.

On March 6, Anna Skorokhodova, designer and founder of by SKOROKHODOVA, said that an "80-20" strategy can be used to effectively update the wardrobe: 80% of the wardrobe consists of basic items, and 20% are trendy items such as vests that can easily be combined with jeans or trousers. Wide belts with large buckles and denim are also relevant and easily fit into a casual style.
