When it comes to style, we’re often told to “keep it simple” or “stick to the basics.” But let’s be honest—you’re not basic. And neither is your look. In this blog post, we are going to be exploring 5 Ways to Elevate Your Look with Statement Accessories.
At Styled by Dee, we believe in fashion that speaks without saying a word. Whether you’re rocking sleek cornrows or a bold makeup beat, the right accessories can amplify your vibe and transform your presence entirely.
However, we’re not talking about just any accessories. We mean the kind that start conversations, turn heads, and leave lasting impressions.
Let’s explore 15 ways to upgrade your look using powerful statement accessories.
1. Crown Your Confidence with Symbolic Jewelry
Jewelry is more than sparkle—it’s identity, history, and intention.
While many underestimate its power, our DeeVas know a single piece can redefine a look.
Try this:
-
Cowrie shell earrings paired with a fresh braided style
-
A layered gold choker that complements a sleek neckline
-
Beaded or brass bangles that chime with every graceful move
Remember, the aim isn’t to match—it’s to express. In fact, these pieces pair beautifully with hairstyles done right here in our Akure salon.
2. Make Perfume Your Invisible Accessory
Accessories aren’t always visible. Some of the most powerful ones are experienced through the senses.
For example, a signature scent can linger long after you leave the room. At Styled by Dee, we curate fragrances that whisper confidence and charm.
Dee’s Tip: “When you walk past, your perfume should tell your story.”
You can explore our scent range during your appointment or pick one from our collection.
3. Use Hair Accessories to Define the Whole Look
Gone are the days of boring clips. Today, hair accessories add drama, elegance, and energy to your style.
Our recommendations:
-
Gold cuffs for goddess or tribal braids
-
Embellished pins for sleek buns and ponytails
-
Silk scarves wrapped around puffs for regal effect
Additionally, you can shop these right in our salon.

4. Let Makeup Do the Talking
Statement makeup is one of the most underrated accessories.
While subtle glam works, a bold brow, graphic eyeliner, or metallic lid can set you apart—especially when paired with neutral outfits or protective styles.

5. Layer for Dimension and Drama
One accessory is great. But when you layer intentionally, your entire look becomes textured and dynamic.
Ideas to layer:
-
Headwrap + hoop earrings + soft highlighter
-
Choker + bold lipstick + minimalist outfit
-
Braided updo + silk scarf + oversized sunglasses
Each combination tells a story. So don’t be afraid to mix it up.
6. Let Color Reflect Your Mood
Your accessories can express emotion through color.
For example:
-
Red reflects boldness and energy
-
Gold adds elegance and richness
-
Green stands for growth and balance
-
Black communicates power and control
Use color combinations intentionally. Don’t just match—coordinate.
7. Don’t Forget Your Nails
Your manicure is part of your look. It should complement the rest of your ensemble.
Try this:
-
Metallic chrome polish to match your hair jewelry
-
Gem-studded designs for events
-
Earth tones with stacked rings for a luxe finish
8. Get Creative With Scarves
Scarves aren’t just for wrapping your hair. In fact, they’re one of the most versatile accessories you can own.
Creative uses:
-
As a belt
-
Wrapped around purse handles
-
Worn as bandeau tops
Simple changes like these can redefine your whole vibe.
9. Give Your Handbag a Personality
Your go-to handbag deserves a makeover.
Here’s how:
-
Attach Ankara fabric flowers
-
Add a mini perfume charm
-
Use tassels in bold prints
As a result, your bag will reflect your unique personality.
10. Let Eyewear Make a Statement
Eyewear doesn’t just help you see—it helps people see you.
Options to consider:
-
Oversized gold-rimmed sunglasses
-
Colored lenses for a modern touch
-
Cat-eye frames for vintage elegance
Whatever you choose, make it bold.
11. Choose Shoes That Finish the Story
Shoes matter. They ground your look and often tie everything together.
Top picks:
-
Beaded sandals for boho or braided styles
-
Platform boots for urban glam
-
Neon heels for contrast against neutral tones
Therefore, always make footwear intentional.
12. Match Accessories with Your Hair
Let your hairstyle guide your accessory choices. The right combination elevates both.
Inspiration:
-
Sleek low bun with long drop earrings
-
Frohawk with a head chain
-
Jumbo twists paired with thick-rimmed glasses
13. Celebrate Culture Through Accessories
Show love to your roots with culturally inspired pieces.
Examples include:
-
Kente print earrings
-
Tribal beads with meaning
-
Ankara-themed clips
Although they’re trendy, they also carry deep significance.
14. Turn Everyday Items Into Accessories
Think outside the box when it comes to accessorizing.
You can use:
-
Safety pins as statement earrings
-
Brooches on lapels, scarves, or bags
-
Belt chains repurposed as necklaces
Moreover, you’ll end up with looks no one else can replicate.
15. Add Sparkle in Unexpected Places
A touch of shimmer can transform your look.
Ideas:
-
Body glitter on collarbones or shoulders

Highlighter on cheeks—and lips
-
Hair gems tucked into braids or buns
Subtle sparkle always draws attention when used correctly.
