SMART AND STYLISH: HOW TO TURN YOUR SMARTPHONE INTO A FASHION ACCESSORY

A phone has been, for a very long time, a clunky piece of metal that serves many purposes, but just doesn’t look very stylish. Sure, the new iPhone 7 looks fantastic and even Samsung’s Edge phones have a sleek border and industrial colours that would work well with any style that you come up with.

If you want to perfect your style, you must not forget about your phone. If you have your phone out with you on a regular basis, you don’t want it to stick out like a sore thumb when you take it out of your designer bag and put it to your ear. You want it to match the rest of your clothing, the colours should complement each other and it helps to have a stylish case.

To give you a helping hand, here are a couple of handy ways to promote your phone from being just a device to a fashion accessory.

Get a new case

There are many websites that sell art-inspired iphone cases You can get beautiful designs that will make your phone look like a work of art instead of a business and communications tool. With so much choice available, it can be difficult trying to pick out a case that matches your mood or fashion for the day, so why not buy several? Cases can easily be swapped around to match your style, and they are relatively inexpensive considering they turn one of your most used electronic devices into a fashion statement capable of holding its own in the fashion world.

There are flip-cases that you can use to store money and cards, there are simple cases that slip onto the back of your phone and there are also sturdy cases that protect your phone from being damaged if you drop it. The functional cases often come with very boring designs since they’re not meant to be fashion items, but there are a few designers that make beautiful and sturdy phone cases for all makes and models of smartphone.

A matching pair of gloves

The cold season might be going away soon but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be wearing a pair of gloves to keep the heat in and the cold out. Sadly, as many people might have realised, it’s almost impossible to use a phone when you have a warm pair of gloves on. To remedy that, why not buy a comfortable and great looking pair of gloves that work with your phone? Touchscreen gloves used to look very bland and serious, but nowadays there are many fashion designers who have taken the concept to the next level and you can now get a wide range of touchscreen gloves that look the part and work brilliantly.

Don’t forget your headphones

When we’re out in the open, the most typical pastime is to get a pair of headphones and listen to podcasts or music. Whether you’re on public transport commuting to and from work or just taking a walk with your dog, your earphones or headphones will always be showing. There are plenty of stylish headphones that will fit all head shapes and sizes, and they aren’t bad quality either.
