Fall Accessory Trends
Some of the Best Trends in Accessories this Fall
Learn more about some of the up-and-coming Fall accessory trends. Update your look by trying out some of these styles.
The accessory trends for Fall 2006 offer a number of great ways to accent your look. You can achieve many of these styles using items you already own, include long necklaces, belts, and classic handbags. Adding new accessories is a great way to update your look without investing a lot of money in new wardrobe items. By choosing selectively, you can dramatically vary your style while staying true to your own sense of fashion.
Layered Necklaces
Layered necklaces are great way to update your look for fall. Instead of the often messy and jumbled look favored recently by many celebs, opt for simple coordinated styles that draw attention to your face and neckline. Look for simple gold chains, pearls, charms, and beads.
Belts
Belts are one of the biggest accessory trends this fall. Try this trend by belting a soft, chunky sweater and pairing it with straight-leg pants. A skinny belt worn with a simple dress creates a classic look, while belting sweaters and blouses shows off a feminine silhouette.
Patent Leather Handbags
While bulky, oversized handbags remain popular, try choosing a sleek patent leather handbag to update your look this season. Look for styles in rich shades such as black, brown, or burgundy. These bags are simple, versatile, and always classic.
Tights
The reemergence of leggings has to be this season's most misguided fashion trends, but there is a way to take advantage of the style without looking a Flashdance fangirl. Patterned tights are a great way to spice up your work-wear without going overboard. Look for tights in rich colors and creative patterns, including geometric shapes, lacy florals, and fishnets. Keep the look professional by avoiding bold, vibrant colors and instead choose subtle, classic shades to pair with tailored skirts and office-wear.
If you're looking for the best shoes to wear with this season's skinny jeans, ballet flats are one of the most flattering options available. Because skinny jeans are tight around the ankle, you don't want to wear a bulky shoe that will draw excessive attention to your feat. Ballet flats, wedges, or heels are your best bet for a sleek, simple look.
