Bold earrings
If you’re not a big fan of embellishments and most of your outfits lean to the simpler side, the easiest way to spice them up and add a bit of drama to your style is to bring in some bold pieces, and this year oversized earrings seem to be the show-stoppers. We all know that oversized hoops have been in for a while, but the trend has evolved over the years and the range of bold earrings has expanded, including chunky crystals, edgy dangle earrings or uniquely-shaped pieces that will make you stand out from the crowd. Since these are statement pieces, you won’t need any other accessories to complete your look.
Stainless steel watch straps
Watches are some of the most timeless fashion accessories you can add to your collection, serving both a practical and an aesthetical purpose. But even your beloved timepiece can lose its appeal after a while. And since buying a new watch every time you get bored of your old one is not exactly an affordable or sustainable option, the next best thing is to update it with a brand-new stainless steel watch strap. These metallic straps are extremely trendy and they come in a wide range of shapes and styles, so you can purchase several and replace them from time to time to keep things fresh.
Pouches
No outfit is complete without the perfect handbag, and this year the title for the most popular and versatile bag goes to pouches. Practical and chic, pouch bags can be paired with nearly every outfit, from casual to elegant or formal looks, and will help you carry your belongings in style from morning to evening. This goes to show that you don’t have to spend a fortune on designer bags to make your outfits shine.
Loafers
Since the lines between men’s fashion and women’s fashion have further blurred, loafers have been gaining ground as a must-have fashion accessory for both sexes. This year, we’re going to witness a resurgence of the classic loafer, but other updated versions of this shoe style are also popping up everywhere. Since they can easily be styled with a variety of outfits, from dresses and dress pants to jeans and skirts, you can create endless combinations and trendy OOTDs with them.
Chockers
Chokers, a trend that has disappeared from the fashion world for a while, are coming back stronger than ever. But this time we’re moving away from the simple velvet bands that were once all the rage among teenagers and we’re transitioning to bolder models that incorporate metals, pearls and other embellishments that are better suited for all age categories and are bound to bring this style into the now.
2023 is shaping up to be quite an interesting year in terms of accessories, so make sure you update your collection with the latest and trendiest pieces.
