What’s Hot for Accessories this Fall

Accessories are an easy, affordable way to stay on trend each season. Here are just a few of the more “accessible” accessory trends this fall, summarized from Vogue magazine:




• Colour blocking in purses and shoes. Contrasting blocks of colour—turquoise and earth tones, oranges and reds—are paired together in geometric designs that make a bold statement.

• Snakeskin. Animal prints in general are very popular this season, but snakeskin is making an appearance in accessories. Real snakeskin is beyond the reach of most people, but there are plenty of faux snakeskin purses, boots, and shoes around for those who prefer a more affordable option.

• Gloves. Gloves were all over fall runways and shown in a variety of styles, colours, and materials—lace, leather, fur, snakeskin, and even polka-dotted.

• Long earrings. Again, the emphasis is on variety, from long tasselled earrings that graze the shoulder to delicate beading and large geometric shapes.

• Menswear-inspired shoes. The hot shoes for fall are penny loafers, brogues, and tasselled shoes with a feminine touch delivered via a high heel. The Toronto Star featured this trend in its fashion pages recently.( http://bit.ly/oRAkN0)

• Clutches. The clutch purse is a big trend, and the colour blocking trend is apparent here too.
