When you think about accessorizing for fall, you might think about just stepping into fall with confidence and comfort with a pair of cute flats that are just as perfect for pumpkin patch adventures as they are for warm coffee shop dates. While flats are for sure a must-have accessory for fall, there are plenty of other trendy accessories to switch up your autumn look. W Magazine shares that some of the hottest accessories we’ll see this fall season include amorphous headgear, wristlet purses, and patterns inspired by fish and other wildlife. If you want to get in on these trends but aren’t sure how to style them, we’ve got our list of the top seven fall accessories to stay stylish all season long and how to rock them for everyday wear.
- Platform Shoes — On those chilly fall afternoons, you’re going to want closed-toe shoes to keep your feet toasty while strutting your stuff in style! Make the most of your fall look with platform shoes that give you a lift while protecting your feet from the brisk autumn wind. Platform shoes are an autumn must-have because the added height and chunky soles are your perfect companions for stepping through autumn leaves in style. Pair them with cozy knit sweaters and skinny jeans, or dress up your look with platform boots with a cute skirt and tights. For a fun twist, mix and match your platform shoes with layered accessories and patterned socks.
- Pretty Wristlets — Blend style and convenience with pretty wristlets, the go-to purse for every fashionista. These small, chic handbags come with a handy strap for you to loop around your wrist, keeping your essentials close and your hands-free at all times. This fall, wear a wristlet with pieces in warm, rich colors like mustard and burgundy. Headed for a night out? Wear a sleek, metallic wristlet with a sleek black dress to add a touch of glam to your look. From enjoying a fall festival to apple picking with the family, a wristlet purse is your stylish sidekick for every autumn adventure.
- Amorphous Headgear — Don’t just wear any hat this season. Embrace amorphous headgear as the quirky, shape-shifting accessory in your autumn wardrobe. These hats and headpieces defy traditional styles by featuring unique, freeform designs that add an instant artistic flair. Pair an amorphous hat with an oversized cardigan and ankle booties for that cozy, boho-chic look. If you want to stand out even more, try an amorphous headpiece in a funky pattern or bold color to add whimsy to your fall look.
- Wildlife Patterns — Bring nature-inspired fun to your autumn wardrobe with charming bird prints, fierce leopard spots, or shiny fish scales. These patterns bring a lively spirit to any outfit. Try a wildlife-patterned blouse with high-waisted jeans, or rock multiple prints under a solid-colored cardigan. From sipping on hot cider to exploring a pumpkin patch, wildlife patterns are a great way to embrace the wild side of fall fashion.
- Extra Cozy Scarves — Amp up your autumn wardrobe with cute accessories like extra cozy scarves so you’ll be warm and chic all season long. Try oversized, plush wraps in a variety of textures and colors so you can snuggle up when the temperatures drop. Wrap a chunky knit scarf around your neck and wear it over a denim jacket and leggings for a weekend-ready look. Dress it up by pairing a soft, cashmere scarf with a tailored coat and knee-high boots.
- Fringe Detailing — For the playful touch your autumn outfits crave, you’ve got to try fringe detailing this season. From the fringed scarf to the fringed jacket, you’ll enjoy an effortlessly cool style with any fringe details. Try a fringe-trimmed bag or earrings to spice up your everyday look. Want something a bit dressier for work or a night out? Go for a fringed scarf over a sleek sweater and midi skirt.
- Anything in Persimmon or Peach Fuzz — It’s hard to believe that 2024 is nearly over, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to take advantage of the colors of the year. Pantone stated its color of the year was Peach Fuzz, while Sherwin-Williams was all about Persimmon. Curious about how to incorporate these orangy-pink shades into your fall accessories? Pair a persimmon-colored sweater with dark jeans and ankle booties. For a softer touch, try a peach fuzz scarf or hat to brighten up a neutral-toned outfit. Make a statement with a persimmon coat over a neutral dress, or mix in peach fuzz accessories with chunky knits
