Lately, I have been all about outfits that don’t make me think twice but somehow get that look. You know, the kind where you feel put together without even trying. Here’s the secret: It’s all in the accessories. Accessories are the cornerstone of any great wardrobe and can bring just about any outfit to life.
I used to be all about minimalist choices but have adopted a more-is-more philosophy recently that has translated over to my love of a chic accessory to bring an outfit together. A bold shoe, sculptural earring, unexpected pop of color—these are all the aspects that make an outfit feel styled. Ahead you’ll find the It-girl accessories I’m eyeing this season and why you’ll want to add them into your rotation too.
Lizzie Fortunato
Camper Silk, Pearl and Turquoise Necklace
If I had a dollar for every way I could style this necklace, I’d be wearing it on a yacht right now.
Timeless Pearly
Drop Earrings
The mismatched-earring trend isn’t new, but this mixed-metal take feels especially on-trend.
Call It By Your Name
Maxi Cabas Tote Large Customized Embroidery in Navy
The kind of touch that makes even your airport fit feel editorial.
Loewe
Calla Leather and Suede Charm
This is guaranteed to turn any bag into a collector’s item.
Isabel Marant
Im 0211 Sunglasses
Giving French girl at the flea market.
Your phone goes with you everywhere, so you might as well make it a part of your outfit.
Loewe + Paula’s Ibiza
Ola Embellished Leather-Trimmed Raffia Shoulder Bag
THE It-girl bag of the summer. Argue with the wall. I mean, it has a built-in bag charm for goodness sake!
Seb Brown
Neapolitan Orange Multi-Stone Signet Ring
This ring feels like something you’d inherit but cooler, especially worn on the pinky finger.
Chan Luu
Beverly Necklace Smoky Quartz
The smoky quartz hue feels so right for fall but pairs with everything in your summer wardrobe. I’d wear it over a ribbed tank.
Chan Luu
Recycled Market Bag Bronze Stripe
Things no one talks about enough: schlepping culture in NYC. This bag gets it. It’s big enough to fit groceries, your Amazon returns, and everything you need for an impromptu tanning session on the West Side Highway.
Loeffler Randall
Rhys Champagne Glitter Jelly Sandal in Champagne
They’re sparkly, yes. But they’re also surprisingly elevated.
Merlette
Lune Mini Sequin Bag
Sequins for brunch? Yes. Sequins for vacation date night? Also yes.
Margaux
The Palermo Sandal in Mint Chocolate Python Embossed
Mint chocolate > vanilla when it comes to sandals, too.
Vertigo
Serpentine Choker
This handmade, women-owned choker isn’t just jewelry; it’s a guaranteed conversation starter.
Chan Luu
Beaded Silk Clutch Blue Check
The beading gives just the right amount of sweetness. I’d style this with a crisp button-down shirtdress and some fun jewelry.
Celine
Triomphe Oval Sunglasses, 52mm in Red
I will never shut up about these glasses. I’m sorry. Throw them on, and suddenly your whole outfit looks expensive.
Valentino
Escape Polka-Dot Cotton and Silk-Blend Twill Headband
I am a huge proponent of polka dots. The combo of this headscarf and swimwear or even a simple white tank and trousers is magical.
Miu Miu
Logo Patent Leather Clogs
Consider your quiet luxury era officially over.
Loewe x Paula’s Ibiza
Mini Pebble Suede & Raffia Bucket Bag
If you’re fatigued by butter yellow, this lemon color is a refreshing alternative.

Charms Keychain
Pair this with the previous bag and we’ve got a winner!

Paola Bucket Bag in Zebra Calf Hair
Calling it now: Zebra is going to be as big as cheetah print this year.

Revenge Leather Belt in White
The belt that every fashion person has in their cart.
Monoki
Petunia Choker in Orange

Adding these to my cart immediately. The wearability? Endless.
Emi Jay
Sweetheart Clip in Cherry Pie
I collect hair clips like they’re candy. Stock up on all colors + match one to every outfit.
Polo Ralph Lauren
Stripe Polo Canvas Tote
The navy and white stripes are timeless, but the silhouette is so today.
Toss it in your bag and still look put together. We love when fashion meets function.
Ancient Greek Sandals
Jelly Flip Flop in Green
This green will unexpectedly go with everything in your closet.
Madhappy
Dodgers Bowtie ’47 Clean Up
I may not know what inning it is, but this hat? I’m wearing it regardless.
