Styling: These 5 accessories turn you into a Greek goddess

Off to Olympus
These 5 accessories will turn you into a Greek goddess

Not only in the fashion world, art and literary history, but also in pop culture, we regularly come across motifs from Greek mythology. So regularly that we roughly know what Mount Olympus is, who lived there and know a story or two. The sense of aesthetics in ancient Greece is always a feast for the eyes, which one can hardly resist in the museum. Alongside the softly draping, airy drape of linen that lent grace and class, there were a few other essential styling accessories.

Off to Olympus: These accessories put you in the league of goddesses

piece of gold

The style of Greek antiquity is natural, minimalist, sumptuous and at the same time elegant. He makes us dream of heroic journeys and dinner parties. About mystical creatures and forests that enchant us. Designers who like to be inspired by antiquity also know this. When it comes to styling, it is therefore important to return to a light color palette: in other words, light tones such as beige, cream, ivory. To emphasize the radiance, they are paired with golden accents. The combination alone looks very… Olympic.

Hermes wing shoe has competition

Hermes already knew that the right footwear works wonders with its winged shoes, which gave it its unmistakable speed. That’s out of the question for us, but to still get some Greek charm, we simply reach for gladiator-like sandals with toe separators and elegant calf lacing. The sole should be thick and stable, which makes it a reliable everyday companion.

jewelry family

Admittedly, jewelry layering is exhausting – for the Greek goddesses too. Who has time to spend ages untangling jewelry? It depends on the magnificent, but at the same time discreet decoration. The best way to achieve this is with a matching piece in, how could it be otherwise, gold! Uses a mix of necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets. Decorations depicting Greek heroes, gods and goddesses were popular in the Hellenistic period. With bracelets and large rings, these come into their own.

head of hair

Open hair with bold yet elegant beach waves is our go-to look for Greek grace. Pins her hair with big gold clasps when it gets too much on her face. Braided hairstyles were also typical of antiquity – but not too severe. Rather… seductive. Elegance comes effortlessly with braiding hair accessories. Nevertheless, the following applies: in moderation, not in bulk. Check out “Hair Cuffs” for a modern twist. They can be used in many ways: at the hairline or at the end.

Everything for the waist

Drape around at home and experiment with light fabrics. It doesn’t matter whether you want to give the maxi dress a waist or a straight top. A cord belt helps to ensure that the whole thing holds up in the end. There’s extra Greek chic with tassels and golden elements on the belt.
