Friendsgiving is the perfect occasion to gather with your closest friends, enjoy great food, and, of course, showcase your style! Whether you're keeping it casual or dressing up for the festivities, bold accessories can transform your Friendsgiving look from simple to stunning. Here’s how to add a little glam to your outfit with statement earrings, colorful bags, and head-turning hair accessories.
1. Start with Statement Earrings
Nothing makes a statement quite like a pair of bold, colorful earrings. Whether they’re large hoops, floral designs, or intricate beaded pieces, earrings are the perfect way to draw attention to your face and add personality to your Friendsgiving ensemble. Bold earrings can make even the simplest outfit look instantly more polished and festive.
Styling Tip:
- Outfit Idea: Pair a cozy turtleneck sweater in a neutral color like beige or cream with brightly colored statement earrings, like blue or pink, to add a pop of color.
- Go Big: The bigger the earrings, the better! Friendsgiving is the time to embrace your bolder pieces. We love the Dig Deep Flower Raffia Earrings!
2. Add a Pop of Color with a Beaded Bag
Friendsgiving is a great opportunity to show off a fun and unique bag! Instead of opting for a traditional clutch or tote, elevate your look with a vibrant, beaded bag. It’s both practical (you’ll need a place for your phone and touch-up makeup) and stylish. A colorful beaded bag can bring an extra layer of texture and personality to your outfit.
Styling Tip:
- Outfit Idea: A flowy, midi-length fall dress paired with a brightly colored beaded bag makes for a perfect Friendsgiving look. Choose a color that contrasts with your dress to let the bag stand out.
- The Details Matter: Let the details of the beaded design shine by keeping your outfit simple and letting the bag be the statement piece. Jenn's pick is the Makin' Waves Clutch.
3. Top It Off with a Bold Hair Accessory
Hair accessories are often overlooked, but they can be the finishing touch that ties your whole Friendsgiving look together. Try a bold headband or a statement hair bow to bring a festive, playful vibe to your hairstyle. Whether you’re wearing your hair up or down, these accessories are a perfect way to keep things fun and fashionable.
Styling Tip:
- Outfit Idea: If you’re keeping your outfit casual with a sweater and jeans, a bold headband can bring the right amount of glamour. For a more formal Friendsgiving look, a sleek ponytail with a statement hair bow is the way to go- try The Right Moves Bow.
- Play with Patterns: Don’t be afraid to mix patterns! If your outfit is a solid color, opt for a patterned or embellished headband to add visual interest- like the Battle Cry Beaded Headband.
4. Layer on Gold Accents for a Subtle Glam
If bold colors aren’t your style, gold-plated accessories can still give your Friendsgiving outfit the right amount of glam without overpowering it. Gold earrings or layered necklaces can elevate your look with a touch of elegance and warmth, perfect for a fall gathering.
Styling Tip:
- Outfit Idea: Layer delicate gold cross necklaces with a simple fall dress or a turtleneck and skirt combo. The subtle shine of gold is perfect for catching the candlelight and adding a bit of magic to your evening look. We layered the Blessed & Covered In Grace necklaces together for this look.
- Less Is More: If you’re opting for gold accessories, keep the rest of your outfit simple to let them shine.
5. Mixing Textures for a Friendsgiving Win
The key to pulling off a perfect Friendsgiving look is to mix textures. Try combining the softness of your cozy fall outfit with bold, intricate accessories for a rich, layered style. Whether it’s the smooth texture of gold earrings, the rough detailing of a beaded bag, or the sleek look of a headband, textures add depth and interest to your look.
Styling Tip:
- Outfit Idea: Pair a velvet or suede dress with beaded accessories and layered black & gold jewelry to create a multi-dimensional look that’s both fashionable and Friendsgiving-ready. Use the Zig Zag Headband for this look.
- Balance Textures: Keep your outfit texture softer and simpler if you’re going heavy on textured accessories to avoid an overwhelming look. We love this headband with the Fill The Room Earrings!
Friendsgiving is all about having fun, being with loved ones, and showing off your style in a relaxed, festive environment. With the right accessories, you can elevate any outfit, whether you’re keeping it casual or going full glam.
