With new accessories you can refresh your current wardrobe and give your outfits a new edge. Pull out a favorite black dress, white shirt, pencil skirt, jeans and suit and see how many different looks you can create with jewelry, watches and handbags. Think of your outfit as a blank canvas and then play with accessories to achieve fresh ensembles.

Here are some accessory fashion trends that will add pizzazz to your wardrobe:

The Classics
Some accessories never go out of style and every woman should have a few classics she can wear year after year. For example, a thin patent belt in black or red, black pumps, diamond earrings, a pearl necklace and a black satchel bag are always en vogue.
Watches are another evergreen accessory that complete an outfit for a polished look. Timex Fashion Trend Director, Amy Goodman, says every woman should have two to three watches at her disposal: one evening or dress style with crystals for a little shine and a sportier, menswear-inspired watch for casual days. A colorful leather watchband is also a nice statement piece that pops when wearing an outfit that is otherwise all one color.

You don’t have to spend a fortune to find a watch that marries function and style. The all-American brand Timex has fabulous options, most under $100. Visit TimexStyle.com for today’s hottest styles.

Modern Trends
Every fashionista delights in playing with trends. Accessories are her best friend as they readily update any look. Some trends that will continue to be big for the next few seasons include:

* Shimmer & Shine — Add jewelry pieces studded with crystals or diamonds to bring your look from day to night. Handbags or shoes with sequins will also add a touch of glamour to a classic outfit.

* Splashes of Color — Every season has a key color. If you’re wearing the ubiquitous black or white outfit, a colorful accessory is a necessity. Blues, corals and pinks have been the rage for a few years now and will continue to color the runway. You cannot go wrong with accessories in these hues as they complement any skin tone.

* Oversized — Think big! Large-frame sunglasses have been in style for several seasons and continue to sizzle among celebrities. Long chunky necklaces, a cocktail ring with a big bauble, oversized cuff bracelets or men’s watches for women are stylish accessories to key into the look. Just remember if you’re going to wear this trend — less is more. So focus on one piece to make a big statement.

When you feel like shopping, look for new accessories to transform your favorite outfits and jazz up others you haven’t worn in a while. Chances are a new pair of shoes, belt, watch or earrings is more affordable than a whole new outfit, and useable in more ways than one.

Valentine’s Day is a great reason to get a makeover and unveil the new you. Not only will you feel great, your special guy will adore the dreamy new look of the woman he fell in love with. A hot new you doesn’t need to come from expensive doctors or spa treatments. Try these ideas at home for a ravishing appearance that is bound to surprise and delight him:

Hair
So many of us fall into hair ruts each day as our mornings are short and styling time is sacrificed. For Valentine’s Day, do something out of the ordinary. If you wear your hair down, try an updo; if you often wear a ponytail, leave locks to flow down your back. Wispy curls can add romance to any hairdo. If you are really ambitious, try a new shade or add some highlights.

Clothing
Despite the large wardrobes that most women have, the amount of clothing they actually wear is small. Look through some of those items that got pushed to the back of the closet. Maybe there’s that little black dress you forgot about that you wore on your first date. Does he have a favorite outfit that you don’t usually wear, but could surprise him with? And don’t forget about shoes! High heels give you a feminine confidence and make legs appear sleek and long, something he is sure to notice.

Smile
A study of 600 men conducted by Kelton Research determined the high importance of a kiss-worthy mouth. A beautiful, white smile is one of the first things partners find attractive in one another and nearly half of the men surveyed stressed that white teeth are a deciding factor for a second date. Try brightening your smile with a product like No. 1 dentist recommended Crest Whitestrips Premium that is only a seven day commitment. Recent clinical studies show it has two times more whitening per strip versus the leading dissolving strips. They’re perfect for men and women alike who don’t want to spend a lot of money on whitening. So pucker-up and give your sweetie a whiter, more kissable smile this Valentine’s Day.

Accessories
The finishing touches to your look are in the details. For example, jewelry with a little sparkle can add glamour to your look and dangle earrings can draw more attention to your face. Maybe there’s something special he’s given you that you can wear. Make sure you smell delicious by lightly spraying on his favorite perfume. Polish with a bit of makeup. Try dark smoky eyes for an exotic, mysterious look. A glossy lipstick will add to your already beautiful smile.

This Valentine’s Day, don’t fret over what gift to give your special guy. Give him what he loves above anything else … you! He will be surprised at your new romantic look and impressed that you went through all the effort just for him (we won’t tell him that you didn’t mind all the work).
