In her latest column for Who What Wear Australia, Jaime Ridge of Dillon Dot talks us through how New Zealand girls love to accessorise.

Keep scrolling to discover the trends, and how they’re worn.

It’s no secret neck pieces are trending, and the choker, arguably this season’s accessory sensation, is a piece New Zealanders seem to love. My personal favourite is a ribbon choker. The best part is, it’s so easy to achieve. Pop into your nearest fabric store and you can easily DIY this at home but selecting your fabric and snipping a long strip. Get creative!

Earrings have been dominating from the runway to the street. Shoulder grazing statement earrings are too hard to resist. For those less adventurous, classic vintage clip-ons, such as the Chanel pair pictured below, are equally as gorgeous. Either way, this chic accessory is the perfect piece to elevate any outfit.

Vintage earrings are so special. Invest now and then hold onto them to pass on to someone special.
