Accessorising an evening look

One rule carries most of the work: let a single element lead. If the dress is heavily embellished, keep the jewellery quiet. If it is clean, a bold earring or a statement necklace adds the depth.

An evening bag should be small enough to hold all night. Echo the tone of your shoes or a detail on the dress — an exact match is never required.

Choose heels by the height you can genuinely stand in for hours, then by the design. An inch of difference changes the hem length you need.

At ELINA you can rent the bag, jewellery, and shoes alongside the dress in a single booking, and we will help put the set together.
