Hi All! Just wondering what everyone's favorite category of accessory? Bags, shoes, jewelry (if so, which specifically, earrings/bracelets/rings) and so on.
My favorite accessories are eyeglasses. Since my vision has to be corrected, I either have to wear glasses or contacts but I strongly prefer glasses as I never could get used to putting in contacts. Because glasses are literally on your face and circle your eyes, they are what people see first when they look at your face. They have to look through your frames to see your eyes as they talk with you. So, I consider glasses to be the most important accessory that I wear.
Because of their visibility (no pun intended haha), there is nothing more important to keep current. Of course they have to be flattering to your face, but they need to stay current and appropriate for where you work and live. Nothing dates and ages a person faster or more definitively than outmoded eyewear.
They are a wonderful way to express your personality too. I personally like frames that have a little edge to them, either in the overall shape, or the color/pattern (or both) - something fun. But one can also convey professionalism, elegance, or just a fun casual vibe with frames.
Unfortunately, I feel that what most people's glasses say about them is that they just want something that won't stand out. The message they're sending is that they don't want to be noticed, and of course, most of us oblige them by not, in fact, noticing them.
Shoes are a strong second place. Not necessarily heels, just shoes in general. Again, so much opportunity for expression.
What is your favorite accessory type and why?
