All The Bags, Shoes, and Little Extras to Know for Fall
The cool thing about this season’s trending accessories is that none of them are trendy, per se—they’re all reimaginings of time-honored themes. And the best part? The majority aren’t just timeless, they’re seasonless, too. Below, our favorite of-the-moment variations on each classic theme.
Modern Romance
Keeping with the year’s recurring theme of romantic, Victorian-inspired looks, embroidery, lace, and brocade flourishes make these bags, shoes, and—naturally—jewelery, a welcome alternative to everyday minimalism.

Gentleman’s Choice
Here, the prevailing take on the endlessly chic borrowed-from-the-boys look is more English-countryside-estate than sneakers-and-suiting. Loafers, creepers, everlasting timepieces, and reworked satchel bags make the style/function mark easy to hit.

Warm-and-Fuzzies
Shearling is about as toasty as it gets without going full-puffer, which is why it’s usually seen lining coats or winter boots. That said, the coziness lends itself just as well to cold-weather accessories like scarves and hats—even clutches benefit from the added burst of texture.
