Far from basic, this fall’s most covetable accessories scream let’s get loud with rich textures, strong silhouettes, and the full range of marvelous metals that make last year’s “quiet luxury” wardrobe essentials look shiny and new.

Standouts come in the form of statement jewelry. Pretty pendant necklaces were an essential addition to Chemena Kamali’s bohemian renaissance at Chloé (along with those oh-so-chic over-the-knee boots), but the low-hanging trinket also stood out strong against black knitwear during Matthieu Blazy’s Bottega Veneta show, showcasing the trendy charm’s versatility. Beautiful brooches and stunning strands of pearls complimented Miu Miu’s ladies who lunch, but we’re all choked up over the gorgeous array of collar necklaces that dominated the runway collections. The abundance of bits and bobs and bangles in stores this season will fill your appetite for timeless luxury like breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Speaking of Holly Golightly, the fall collections delivered gloves galore to clutch this season’s arm candy: bags covered in croc, fuzz, feathers, studs and crystals. Too much razzle dazzle? Opt for a classic style in resonant reds or subtle suede. From larger-than-life shoppers to slouchy styles, securing the right bag this season is easy — as long as you’re a decisive buyer.

Below the belt (another must-have accessory of the season), you don’t have to brave heels to be a sartorial shoo-in with this season’s must-have riding boots, menswear-inspired loafers and Mary Jane flats.

Consider fall’s finest finishing touches for powerful style-up to your classic attire.

Adding bold button earrings is an easy way to elevate your look this fall. Pair them with an oversized blazer, slim capri pants and pointy toe kitten heels as a modern take on their 1990s corporate origins. For a more casual approach, pull your hair back into a loose braid and style these with a slim turtleneck sweater and wide leg jeans. – Noelle Sciacca, Associate Director, Women’s Fashion & Strategic Partnerships at The RealReal
