As we’ve seen over the past couple of months, celebrities are taking a staid and classic approach to style: unisex Ray Ban sunglasses in wayfarer or clubmaster styles, satchel handbags, and purses in black or brown leather with few or no embellishments. But, at the same time, does that mean your wardrobe needs to be bland? Not at all. Even with basic designs, Ray Ban wayfarers and clubmasters offer a large array of color possibilities, and a two-tone look is one of these.

Teen actress Camille Belle was seen recently in a pair of two-tone cat eye Dior sunglasses. While her look could easily be attributed to simply being a teen, the two-tone Dior shades are truly the center of her outfit, which, even with a western-pattern vest, is composed of jeans and white, black, and brown tones. Against this, the transparent deep red and white shades jump out.

Dior has other two-tone options, especially for oversized styles. These Dior Diorissima sunglasses combine a mock tortoise look on a geometric frame, and, for a distinct contrast, white is added to the ends. Dior Diorissima sunglasses also come in red and black, all with blocks of white added.

The Dior Copacabana is more subtle. With a rounded frame, the sunglasses have metal ribbon-like embellishments at both ends.

Ray Ban, on the other hand, has a full line of two-tone unisex sunglasses. The Wayfarer II is a contemporary update of the classic style, one that intentionally adds contrast through patterns or color blocking. Many frames juxtapose a bright shade – white, red, or orange – with black, with one shade on top and one on the bottom. Others have a novelty appearance, with candy-like stripes going across the top.

If you think two-tone sunglasses would complement your look, how do you wear them? Two-tone sunglasses, regardless of brand, make a statement and, because of this, should be the primary draw of your outfit, not lost in a jumble of bright colors and patterns.

Don’t resign your studded handbag to the back of your closet just yet. Although handbag looks overall have become more staid and classic, embellishments aren’t a fashion faux pas, but how you wear them and the type of bag you choose can be.

If you’re still pining for studs and just can’t pry yourself away from your last-season handbag, the Rebecca Minkoff Studded Rocker purse shows how to pull this look off. A solid-color small purse embellished by small flat studs, this purse is far from bland and, at the same time, does not cross over into being tacky. Too many rhinestones or too large studs can make a handbag appear like a style straight off the Jersey Shore.

Aside from the Rebecca Minkoff bag, what are other options for embellishments? No matter the embellishment you choose, being subtle is the key, either spreading small studs all over or just adding them to one area. Additionally, also consider other trends, such as solid bright colors and small purses. Going out with a large purple snakeskin hobo bag with studs is so 2009.

This powder blue cross body bag from Best Handbag Wholesale gets the balance right. Patterns of small rhinestones and studs are added to two corners of the bag and glam up the ordinary blue shade. At the same time, the studs and rhinestones are not the focus of the bag’s design – they just complement it.

Studs don’t always need to be small, and this aqua and white woven handbag, from Handbag Distributor, uses rhinestones as a draw but does not go overboard. A strip of rhinestones goes down the middle of an otherwise-normal checked purse, giving it a bit of western character.
