The Accessory Queen- Every Collegiate

The Accessory Queen- Every Collegiate: :) 

“Its always the pairing that gives me the cutting edge!”  A rather common ‘Styliner’ every Fashionista says.  Nearly 75-80% of shopaholics consist of the college going youth. Top this up with the high similarity of shopping destinations among today’s collegiate.

I’ve never believed and will continue to strongly disagree that where one buys its apparel from is something to worry about. “I liked it, I bought it, its comfortable and I own it!” That’s all that matters right from the very first stage of shopping. Simply because it always boils down to the staple LBD, white tee, denim, staple nude stilettos, the super cute clutch, a pair of white trainers, gym wear, a cross body and casual flats. What’s beyond the daily wear is the discussion point in today’s style dynamics.

Step into a cinema on a matinee show on a weekday and you would see beautiful walking mannequins with black/grey/blue denims along with basic tees to compliment the denim. What goes unnoticed is how creatively the look has been Accessorized.

A street pick, a Zara buy, a True Religion Splurge or an Armani Indulgence; the collegiate has chosen the best. It doesn’t really make a difference. The “cutting edge” is derived from creativity which a collegiate would incorporate by shop hopping, internet surfing, skimming through magazines, YouTube videos, online tutorials on blogs and Pinterest to name a few.

The admirable aspect is the effort invested in looking different. They’re the walking Accessorize sans the brand endorsing persona. Ever in doubt of giving a glamorous touch to a look? Have a street smart collegiate on your speed dial.

What really goes into getting the perfect accessories and how are they popular would be something interesting to discuss.

A typical collegiate has quite an assorted collection sourced from street markets flea markets, sale promotions, chain stores, up and coming talent, travel, online markets, exhibitions and most importantly word of mouth. Despite having the same hand chain, there is not a slightest chance that one would find an accessory doppelgänger. Substantiating the previous statement, any kind of accessory enhances a look, it can never completely make or break a look.

This season, ditch the magazine pages, online markets and movie cues. Scout around the city or consult a college goer for having the perfect accessories.
