Now that fashion season is over, we are scouting ahead for the hottest accessory trends to carry forward into Fall/Winter ’22. This season introduced us to many emerging trends such as chunky chains, chunky knitwear, tight, cut-out dresses, and much more. So we’ve picked out the best of the best so that you don’t have to, and more importantly, we’ve chosen add-ons that you can buy now, are cost-effective, and that you can continue to wear throughout the new season.
Towering Platforms
A trend that we will be carrying forward to the Fall/Winter ’22 season is platforms of any description. Made popular in the ‘70s, platforms have made a sizzling come back and have been advertised across social media almost to exhaustion. These shoes are perfect for when you want to make an effort but still wish to remain comfy and are the ideal alternative to heels for parties and date nights. We recommend going for platform trainers or boots as these are wearable from summer through to the new season.
Hobo Bags
We’ve seen a resurgence in Hobo bags this Fall/Winter season, which is usually characterised by being curved and slouchy, but despite its shape, the wearer can still store a lot inside. For this new season, we’re seeing plenty of renditions of the Hobo bag—from slouchy to more structured silhouettes and in an array of materials such as teddy/borg, leather, and even corduroy.
Chunky or Statement Belts
Another trend that has dominated this Fall/Winter season is chunky or statement belts. It has been fashionable to wear these to cinch in coats and sweaters to give your waist a cinched-in appearance
and avoid looking unshapely. You can easily find chunky or statement belts in any store or even online at shops such as Luella. Check them out if you’d like some statement belt inspiration, and to browse their healthy selection of different, affordable accessories.
Leather Jackets or Trench Coats
Are you tired of denim or puffer jackets? Enter the leather jacket or trench coat if you’d prefer a longer silhouette. Leather is also a much more versatile material, so the chances are that a leather item will last much longer in your Fall/Winter wardrobe and save you money in the long run. These pieces are timeless and can be enjoyed season after season to add edge to any outfit.
Berets
We’ve seen a shocking increase of beret-wearing this Fall/Winter ’22 season, making a mockery out of the traditional bobble hat. Although you may think that you might run the risk of looking like a terrible French mime, when worn correctly, this unconventional headwear can make an outfit. The beret has a simple beauty about it which is that it’s heavy enough to keep your head warm in winter but lightweight enough to bring with you into the warmer months. Now available in more unconventional materials such as leather and animal print, it is an excellent example of how a small accessory can elevate your outfit.
