Must Have Fall Accesories

The Fall and Winter seasons are ones that undoubtedly invite a palette of warm colors, the layering of pieces and an overall sense of comfort. Accessories further the cause by adding that final touch to any outfit, either making or breaking it. The trends this year boast an exciting range of ideas from bold necklaces to the return of elongated gloves. Stay current and fashion forward by implementing some of these gems into your accessory arsenal.

The first trend is the one of big, bold necklaces, in addition to the elongated necklace and gold embellishments in general. These pieces are very versatile and can work well with virtually any outfit thought of. A necklace worn over a coat instead of underneath it has also become a runway obsession.


Moreover, another bold accessory for the fall is the classic, statement earring! This is a piece that can instantly add a touch of edge to an outfit and one that works best when paired with solid colors and simple silhouettes.


The wide brim hat is a staple accessory that creates an effortless, elegant meets downtown chic approach to an outfit. It can read elegant when worn with stylish or one of a kind pieces, but then achieve a laid back, everyday style when combined with casual wear or for instance, a leather jacket as shown below.


            


Anything fur is a major trend this season and is not only represented in coats, but in scarves and vests as well. Additionally; big, chunky, patterned scarves are also a sure fire way to keep warm while maintaining variety. In terms of hand armor against the cold, nothing beats a trusty pair of gloves. Instead of a usual knitted pair, invest in a pair of elongated leather ones.



Last but not least are bags, bags, and more bags! The three staples for this season are; bags with a faux texture such as crocodile skin, an everyday carry on, leather tote, and a classic clutch or purse for those special evenings out.
