The 6 Accessories You’ll Be Coveting This Season
From plush scarves to oversized sunglasses and luxe leather gloves, these are the biggest accessory trends of the season – and how to style them
Leather gloves
Long leather gloves remain a key runway and street-style trend this season. Evoking the glamour and elegance of a bygone era, gloves can make any outfit feel more polished with the right styling. Our top tip? Keep the length of your sleeves in mind. If they’re long, choose shorter gloves, and vice versa. Materials matter, too – those in sumptuous textures such as leather and cashmere are key to keeping things chic. Crafted from butter-soft croc-effect leather, Toteme’s wrist-grazing gloves are lined in cashmere for warmth and exceptional softness. If you’re looking to inject some color into your look, Khaite’s ‘Remo’ opera gloves in purple suede or Agnelle’s turquoise leather pair will do the trick.

Hats and hoods
Hats are as much about adding a touch of personality to winter looks as they are about staying warm, especially when you’re bundled up in lots of layers. Echoing styles from the ’90s, Nour Hammour’s ‘Bruno’ bucket hat is knitted from merino wool and cashmere-blend and looks ultra-chic paired with one of the brand’s leather trench coats, while Lisa Yang’s knitted hood from our NET SUSTAIN edit is savvy way to keep your hair intact on brisk winter walks. Wear yours with a fuzzy faux-fur jacket in the city.

Statement belts
Whether you wear one or four at a time, belts are the chicest way to accessorize an outfit right now. Just ask show-goers at fashion week, who used them to cinch the waists of oversized coats and blazers – or to add attitude to low-slung jeans and skirts. Choosing a variety of colors and textures helps to keep things interesting, while skinnier widths make them easy to stack and thread through the loops of pants. Déhanche, Khaite and Etro’s versions all come with timeless gold hardware, while Le Sundial’s cummerbund is complete with tasseled rope ties.

Plush scarves
When it comes to styling, never underestimate the power of a scarf in bringing an outfit together. Valentino Garavani’s fringed lace scarf and Dries Van Noten’s sequin-embellished style both speak to the season’s new ornate trend and work beautifully with eveningwear and tailoring. Róhe and Lemaire’s versions, on the other hand, come in elegant neckerchief silhouettes that sit perfectly over jackets and coats.

Oversized sunglasses
Part of the joy of wearing sunglasses is the freedom they offer to experiment: from bold and statement-making to sleek and understated, there’s always a pair to reflect your style and mood. Without a doubt, this season’s most popular shades are retro aviators – we’re talking oversized, ’70s-inspired frames with exaggerated teardrop-shaped, tinted lenses. Take cues from model Rosie Hungtington-Whiteley by wearing Jacques Marie Mage’s ‘Barclay’ sunglasses in tortoiseshell acetate with a funnel-neck jacket. Elsewhere, shield sunglasses are also having a moment – our buyers love Saint Laurent’s ‘SL 969’ and District Vision’s ‘Choji Turbo’ styles.

Layered jewelry
This season, the fashion crowd are stacking and layering jewelry with abandon, using a mix of contemporary and vintage pieces for more of an eclectic feel. Follow their lead by layering David Yurman’s 18-karat gold ‘DY Mercer®’ T-bar chain with Foundrae’s ‘Resilience’ pendant and a string of beads or stack Sophie Buhai’s sterling silver ‘Katia’ cuff with a bracelet watch and daintier chains. Alternatively, let By Pariah’s set of three ‘Stone Trilogy’ rings do all the work for you, styling them on one finger – or spread across three.
