Autumn and winter 2019 is all about the accessories. From blingy sunglasses to cute bags, it’s all on the table – but there are a few standout pieces that are super on-trend this season. Here’s what you should shop right now.
Hair ornaments
There’s lot’s you can do get your hair ready for the colder weather (especially as thick hair is in this season!) If you’re worried your hair isn’t thick enough to carry off hair ornaments. You can give something like Nanogen hair thickening fibres a whirl which will get your hair ready for any ornament, party or hat. We’re Carrying on the trend from last season, 90s-style hair ornaments are hot right now. Plus, they’re a great way to keep your hair tidy and off your face – tame flyaway wisps with a chic pearl-studded slip, hat or hairband and nail this summer’s style.
Chunky sneakers
Do they look like they come from outer space? Are they so ginormous that they make your ankles look like twigs? Do they have shiny panels, neon pops of colour, or interesting textures? Do they make you bounce like you’re walking on a trampoline? If you answered yes to any of these questions, your sneakers are cool this season.
Anything snakeskin
Animal prints are still running wild over our wardrobes, but slinky snakeskin is especially chic right now – and it can go with anything. For a more subtle style statement, add a snakeskin shoe or bag to a neutral outfit. There you go, bang on-trend.
Bucket hats
Who’d-a-thunk it, bucket hats are still cool. Go for a brightly-coloured pattern, or full 90’s neon, to be bang-on-trend; basically, the more garish the better. Will give your outfit a too-cool-for-school, playful vibe.
Teeny-tiny bags
Honey, who shrunk my handbag? Bad news for those of us who carry tons of stuff around – summer 2019’s bags are cute and as micro as possible. Bonus points if they’re basketry.
Geometric sunglasses
Was this ever cool in the ’90s? Who knows, but it does make fashionistas right now look a little bit like Barbie dolls. If you’re feeling bold, go for a brightly-coloured plastic frame, and if you’re feeling a little more peachy, opt for wire-framed shades with a colourful tint. It’s a great look for when the bright winter sun is here. Another surprising trend is sunglass chains, which have got a LOT cooler since you last saw them – think strings of sparkling beads, or gold chains decorated with tiny charms.
Pretty pearls
Pearls are meant to be the most flattering gem, as they reflect soft light onto the wearer’s face. They’re classic, and never really go out of fashion – but this winter, they’re in fashion in a big way. You’ll find pearls adorning accessories in unusual ways – adding a contemporary twist to this style staple. Look out for pearl-studded sunglasses, hair ornaments, and handbags.
