It’s the most wonderful time of the year- for detail-oriented wardrobes, that is! Dressing in warm layers has not only become a necessity, but the perfect opportunity to really make your outfits more interesting. Lately while getting dressed, I’ve been really thinking about little details that will add a subtle impact to the rest of a simple outfit. Let’s list ’em out, shall we? (Because lists are fun!)

• L A Y E R I N G   B R A C E L E T S  can be done any time of the year, but when wearing long sleeves, it adds almost a cuff-effect.
• S C A R V E S  wrapped not only around your neck, but around your head or purse straps too.
• G L O V E S . There are so many interesting gloves out there this season- there’s really no need to stick with simple, solid black or brown. Try twead, detailed leather, or a pair with contrasting colored panels.
• B R O O C H E S . Again, perfect for any time of the year, but I really love the way an interesting brooch looks on the lapel of a jacket. If you’re in for it, try grouping together a bunch of ’em!
• S O C K S  have become rather trendy as of late, so why not have fun with it? Patterned socks peeking out from under trousers, contrasting boot socks over patterned tights- the possibilities are pretty endless these days!
• S H O E   L A C E S . This one’s a great idea for the guys too. Swap out the laces from a pair of shoes with either a contrasting shoe lace, or a thin ribbon, and even lace.
• C O L L A R S  are also popping up everywhere right now- the kind you can remove and attach to pretty much anything in your wardrobe. Also, try layering thin shirts with pretty collars underneath knits.
• C H A R M   B R A C E L E T S   &   N E C K L A C E S . I’ve not really gotten too into charm bracelets, but lately I’ve been seeing some that are worthy of changing my mind. It’s like the bracelet has accessories all of its own!
• B U C K L E S   &   B E L T S   are a great way to mix up an outfit. I’ve accumulated a large collection of them from thrift stores, and really appreciate the diversity they lend to my wardrobe.
• P U R S E S ,   C L U T CH E S ,   &   B A G S  are not to be forgotten! If you’re not too into changing purses a lot, you could chose a neutral one with a nice pattern or texture, and it would get a lot of mileage with many outfits.

What about you? How do you focus on the details in your wardrobe?
