Fall on your feet! Cooler weather calls for fabulous new accessories. Below, the top five trends in purses and kicks that will spruce up this season’s wardrobe.
Bad Romance
Roses are red, violets are badass! Moody florals are all the rage for fall, with blush-toned blooms, ruffles and even textured snakeskin rounding out a look suited for sultry candlelight.
Factory Girl
Throwback alert: Platform loafers, stacked heel boots and chunky clogs are all in style. Pair with feminine suede carryalls, embellished with studs and contrast stitching, for a trend that’s part Mary Tyler Moore, part Edie Sedgwick.
Sporty Spice
Athleisure, the style go-to of the fashionably fit, puts a chic twist on comfy gym staples (think leggings, spandex and sports bras masquerading as shirts). For a look that travels from barre to the bar, pair a sporty tote, backpack or fanny pack with a super stylish sneaker.
Tough Customer
Military chic stormed the Fall 2019 runways and promises to be the season’s most utilitarian style. Pockets, belt bags and weather-proof fabrics come together for the perfect sartorial meeting of fashion and function.
Sleek’n’chic
Embrace the simple life in these minimalist looks, which are anything but basic. A translucent tortoise block heel updates a classic slingback, while slick origami folds sass up the traditional shoulder bag. Muted colors allow cool new purse silhouettes — such as a cylindrical crossbody — to steal the show.
