And if you haven’t yet added these stylish finds to your current rotation, think of this as your ultimate guide to the season’s must-haves.
Vogue’s Must-Have Fall Accessories:
Maximalism for the minimalist persists into the colder months, with print and textural details still going strong for fall and winter. Accessories in touch-me-now fabrics, like soft suede and leopard-print calf hair, top our lists. Several bags come to mind: Khaite’s Crosby top-handle, which teams perfectly with The Row’s brogues. Or, hurry and get your hands on Prada’s brown suede bowling bag, which looks chic juxtaposed against Zara’s slip dress. We can’t stop obsessing over those surprisingly popular items, either, like Kallmeyer’s tassel belt, Toteme’s cape scarf, or an unsuspecting floral brooch.
Find our full edit of fall’s must-have accessories, below—along with easy-to-replicate outfit formulas, should you need inspiration on how to style them. Want even more fashion? Don’t forget to check out our fall ready-to-wear guide.
Miu Miu’s Tall Leather Sock Boots
The resurfacing boot trend on the mind of every fashionable woman? The sock boot. This style is sleek enough for the minimalist, while keeping that subtle, bohemian flair. Wear it for every occasion, be it a work day, or the weekend, with a slip skirt and festive knit.
Loro Piana’s Leopard-Print Pillbox Hat
Thanks to Jil Sander, Dolce & Gabbana, and Alaïa, leopard print has shifted from a spicy siren to a seriously fashionable character. Now, spots of all kinds leave their mark, from smaller accessories like wool pillbox hats, to more statement pieces like knee-high boots.
Chloé’s Re-edition Paddington Bag
An early-aughts fashion relic returns to the scene, two decades on, and is more relevant than ever. The Paddington’s oversized padlock, and slouchy, just-thrown-on shape, are a reminder of how cyclical fashion is. Wear yours with other seasonal favorites, like a bow blouse, corduroy pants, and Mary Jane shoes.
The Row’s Novus Derby Shoes
You may already have a plethora of driving loafers, retro sneakers, and ballerina flats in your arsenal by now. What to covet next? The brogue, of course! Although this Savile Row-inspired shoe is inherently masculine, we love the tension it brings to more feminine pieces, like a draped, belted knit dress from Zara, and Khaite’s leopard-print Crosby bag.
Kallmeyer’s Tassel Belt
The belt transcends utility this season to become a tool of self-expression by way of craft and texture—choose one with fringe, tassels, or beading, or all of the above, like Kallmeyer’s. We love it tied around the waist of a balloon pant and paired with a scarf top for the ultimate fashion girl ensemble.
Prada’s Suede Bowling Bag
Oh, suede! The luxuriously soft handle has experienced an epic resurgence—just take a look at the range, from high to low, of suede bags available on the market today. Invest in one of our favorites from Prada, and pair it with a silky midi dress layered beneath a modern trench coat.
A Designer Brooch
A brooch, especially the right one, is the kind of accessory that whispers rather than shouts—but its presence is undeniable. Pin one to a scarf, the waistband of your jeans, or go the runway route (à la Tory Burch, Ashlyn, and Rodarte FW25) and affix one to the lapel of a wool blazer or cape.
Prada’s Statement Pump
The modern pump isn’t just a three-inch stiletto any longer. Today’s takes are expressive, sculptural, and fashion-forward; they redefine elegance for everyday. See for yourself with Prada’s perfectly patinated leather pumps, which come in a rusted brown, or a worn-in black.
Khaite’s Western Boot
Western boots are one of the essential shoe trends for fall and winter. And you don’t have to go full Outer Range to style a pair. Wear Khaite’s Clive boot with an asymmetric skirt, scarf blouse, and oversized leather jackets for a contemporary spin.
Conner Ives x Jimmy Choo Leopard-Print Boots
Jimmy Choo and Conner Ives joined forces this season to provide the fashion set with an edgy, yet playful, arsenal of footwear options for fall. If we had to pick just one of the entire bunch, it would be the Gloria knee-high boots, in leopard-print, of course. It makes a statement, but is easy to wear and style—try it with everything from wide-leg jeans and turtlenecks, to off-the-shoulder dresses and a pony-hair coat.
Toteme’s Fringed Cape Scarf
Like other built-in fashion trends we’re loving (think of the “skant,” “scoat,” and scarf top), the cape scarf is just another one of those hybrid pieces that makes getting dressed easier; picture bracing the wind, or a harsh chill, in this fringed poncho from Toteme. Chic!
