Final Styling Tip: Match Your Accessories to Your Frames

The secret to capsule wardrobe magic is intentional pairing. Match your metal tones (gold frames = gold jewelry), mix textures (glossy sunglasses + matte clothing), and let your accessories shine.

You don’t need 10 pairs of sunglasses, just a few that make every outfit look and feel fresh and one of a kind.
