Fashion law tells us that accessories make or break an outfit. The good news is the upcoming 2020 accessory trends are going to look marvelous on you. Here are five trends that you’re going to want to keep an eye on.
Watches That State More Than The Time
Anytime you add a timepiece to an outfit; you’re adding a Dose of Elegance. The good news is that those delicious round styles straight from the past are making a comeback. We’ve seen them on Emili Sindlev’s and Georgia Fowler’s wrists, and we adore them. Add a gorgeous Luella Jumper to really finish off your look.
Longines, the acclaimed Swiss watch company, is leading the way in this comeback trendy look. Somehow, they’ve managed to thoughtfully add details watches that are contemporary while making a deep bow to traditional watch design. Take your party dress to the next level when you accessorize it with the feminine, yet crisp and collected, 36 diamond-encrusted Longines Conquest Classic watch.
It’s not just a timepiece. It’s a high-performance piece of jewelry that will catch everyone’s eye. The Conquest Classic is made to stay forever in your wardrobe.
More Than Just A Bag: It’s A Pouch
The pouch has staying power. During the couture fashion week in July, it was a welcome surprise as a wonderfully functional and daring accessory. It’s proven to be more than just a passing fancy.
Annabelle Rosendahl and Linda Tol like the pouch. So does just about every star attending fashion week in September. Favorites designs include a cloud cut clutch made of leather from Bottega Veneta and quilted puffy pouch created by MM6 Maison Margiela.
Swap out your mini bag for one of these oversized creations when your life requires more than your phone. Here’s a tip: if you want to get more miles out of your bag, select one in a neutral color. You can wear it with just about anything now hanging in your closet.
Padded Headbands
Who says headbands are just for little girls? Veronika Heilbrunner and Patricia Manfield make the case that padded headbands complete the look. And, do not think these headpieces only for preppies. They have earning staying power since their debut last year, and it looks like they’ll be big again in 2020.
This ladylike headwear relies on color. Available in velvet, satin and other materials, they make splashy statements. Prada takes it down a sophisticated notch with their simple silk creations. However, if you choose to use chunky necklaces and love long and elegant earrings, take your outfit up one more level with a gilded look featuring faux pearl from Jennifer Behr.
Pearls The Thing
Speaking of pearls, young designers are embracing this older jewel. If you thought these beauties were just for the matronly, think again. They add a distinct level of refinement to modern outfits.
However, don’t expect the new lines to look like something your grandmother may have had. Brinker & Eliza, as well as Alighieri, are experimenting with necklaces of pearl asymmetrical modern design. If you are looking for a look that’s more romantic than prim-and-proper, VALÉRE has a great line of pendant earrings.
Updated Cowboy Boots
Designers are rethinking this Western staple and giving us two-tone patterns, florals, and elegant heels with sculptural flair. Think warm weather denim and maxi dresses when you’re ready to pull your boots on. Boots are too much fun to quit wearing at winter’s end.
Casual looks get an upgrade when sneakers get tossed out in favor of the cowboy boot. Don’t worry about being uncomfortable when you put these heels on. They were designed with motion in mind and stand up to all sorts of punishment.
