The leaves are starting to change colors, and fall weather has finally hit! That means it’s time to dive into all the fun fall looks! If you’re anything like me, you love all the layers that go along with this season. Accessories can always make your look that much better. Accessorizing has the ability to change your whole outfit, and gives you the opportunity to dress up certain items in your closet. Multi-purposing is always the best, especially for keeping up with the latest fall trends!  Here are some accessories to consider this fall.

A pop of color

Bags of all sizes are making an appearance this fall! With neutral tones becoming popular, adding color with your bag could be just what you need. It makes the look more exciting and will add some contrast for you to stand out!

Big hats are making a big comeback

Top off your fall look with a hat; they are everywhere this fall! Bring cowboy energy to your outfits and make it look chic! A cute fedora is just what you need to keep it stylish!

Cool sunnies

A pair of thin sunglasses are tasteful and add sophistication. Sunglasses are a statement piece;  they create structure and silhouette. A colorful frame can draw attention to your face and highlight your bone structure. 

Gold accents

Gold is big this fall in all shapes and sizes: hoops, rings, and necklaces! Embrace the gold and refine even your most casual outfits.

The French Look

Add a little Paris to your wardrobe! The beret is a timeless accessory that will always scream chic and are extremely Ă  la mode this season.

Wrap it up

Silk scarves are making an appearance everywhere. Add it on your bag, put it around your neck, on your head, or even make it into a shirt! It’s a super cute and fun way to add additional flare to your fall look and incorporate some more patterns!

Pearls and chains

Pearls are a graceful addition to any outfit, whereas chains bring a sense of youthfulness and rebellion. Both have the ability to polish your look and allow you to step out with confidence. For those that desire the mature look, wrap yourself in pearls and wear them with pride. Looking for an edge? Layering up your chains is never the wrong move, as it adds the perfect amount of glamour to anything. 

Animal Print and Leather

You can never have too much animal print. Tune into your inner cheetah girl and add it to your collection! This is always a fun look to incorporate with any accessories, so don’t shy away from this bold trend to make a difference in your outfit. Leather is making a big comeback, and the luxurious fabric can be seen in the form of boots, jackets, pants, and hats. This trend appears more expensive to the eye and will always turn heads. 

Embrace fall and try adding these accessories to your look! Try something new and upgrade your aesthetic! Remember that you can always mix and match accessories, but it is important to keep it simple for that clean fall look. Enjoy!
