New York Fashion Week may be over, but we’re still soaking it all in! After scrolling through countless photos and reading all the recaps, one trend stands out for the upcoming spring and summer season: bold, statement accessories.
The runways were packed with eye-catching pieces, from oversized, patterned earrings and striking red belts by Balenciaga to bright orange headphones and quirky statement caps by Maison Margiela. While some of these looks might be a bit too daring for everyday wear, there are plenty of ways to embrace the trend in a more wearable way. Here are four easy ways to add bold accessories to your wardrobe.
Forget delicate jewelry—cuff bracelets are the way to go. Alexander McQueen showcased models wearing thick metal cuffs that extended up the arm. To make this look more practical, try stacking two or three chunky cuffs on one wrist. If you love luxury watches, pair yours with a cuff or two for a stylish, layered effect.
For daytime outfits, don’t be afraid to mix metals and colors in your bracelet stack. In the evening, let your jewelry take center stage by pairing bold cuffs with a simple, elegant outfit.
Extra-long earrings also made a statement on the runway. These work best with long hair worn down, giving the illusion of hair jewelry. If you have short hair, opt for chunky earrings that aren’t too long to keep the balance.
Lanvin introduced sparkly fingerless gloves, adding a dramatic touch to their runway looks. While this trend might not be for everyone, there are more wearable alternatives. Consider a bracelet ring combo or a delicate chain bracelet that drapes multiple thin chains over your hand for a similar effect.
Sunglasses are always a must-have, and this season, it’s all about bold colors and sharp, angular frames. Ditch the rounded styles and go for something with a bit more edge. Not only will they elevate your look, but they’ll also be a great conversation starter.
