Fall/winter 2025 accessory trends

Discover the details that make the look

September 2, 2025

This season’s accessories aren’t just about completing a look: they make the look. From nostalgic handbags to functional phone cords and sleek head scarves, these pieces define the mood of the season. Here’s how to style the 7 biggest trends.

Western revival

The cowboy vibe is still riding strong, but you don’t need spurs to get on board. Think subtle: a tooled leather belt cinching oversized knits, a sleek gold-and-leather buckle on denim, or a bandana tied at the waist or neck.

Hats with personality

This season, your hat is the exclamation point. A beret + jeans + trench = Parisian polish. A sailor cap with a white tee feels effortless. For statement toppers (like a fur bucket hat or striped beret), lean into bolder outerwear or wide-leg trousers to balance the playfulness.

Nostalgic bags

The 2000s are calling. Think reissues and vintage-inspired shapes: mini baguettes for nights out, slouchy satchels for day, and structured crossbodies to sharpen softer silhouettes. Or lean into the nostalgia with the new “front cord” look: think hands-free bottle slings, phone pouches, and micro-bags you wear cross-body on a strap.

Fur touches

Faux fur is everywhere, from ladylike collars to Muppet-y totes. A plush scarf layered over tailoring instantly softens the look, while a fur-trimmed bag adds texture to denim.

Exotics

Snake print is the neutral of the season. A snakeskin crossbody makes even basics look styled, while black calfskin bags remain a workhorse. If you want impact, opt for patterned shoulder bags to offset minimalist outfits.

Oversized retro sunglasses

Small sunnies are out, big frames are in. Think bold cat-eyes or oversized squares. Colored lenses add instant attitude. Pair with tailored coats or minimalist knits so your shades do the talking.
