2011 Fall Accessory Trends Sep 12th 2011, 10:00 From the colors to the layering of clothes, I love everything about fall fashion. One of my favorite parts is getting the chance to use those accessories that have been stowed away all summer - scarves, gloves, and that stylish back-to-school backpack. This fall, it's all about shapes and structures, letting you create a casually chic outfit with ease. To start off your fashionable autumn season, check out this list of top accessory trends. Nordstrom.com Fall is the absolute perfect time for scarves. Keep your neck warm on those chilly days with a trendy infinity scarf, which is characterized by its continuous, circular shape. You'll look casually cool in this comfortable accessory, especially when paired with fall's trademark style of layering. A scarf like this Lulu Abstract Diamond Infinity Scarf is a great way to bring some color to your outfit, and work really well with peacoats and leather jackets. (Buy Direct) YesStyle.com While they might be part of the oversized clutch trend, envelope clutches have made quite the name for themselves. The distinctive triangular top flap creates a shape similar to an envelope, making them the ultimate sophisticated accessory. If you'd like to color block an outfit, choose an envelope clutch in a solid, bold color. They can also be fashionable work friendly accessories, like this red hot Faux-Leather Envelope Clutch from Yes Style. (Buy Direct) ASOS.com This fall, give those slouchy hobo bags a break and try rocking a structured handbag. These bags have a shap, bold look, making them appropriate for work and school. You can find them in a variety of sizes, from small crossbody purses (like this Contrast Handle Flat Lock bag by ASOS), or large messenger bags. The classy build of a structured bag looks best with casually chic clothes, such as cardigans, blazers, and button down shirts. (Buy Direct) Zappos.com It goes without saying that leopard print is the classic "wild side" print of fashion. However, python has stolen the spotlight, giving you anotehr way to add an exotic touch to your look. Python print tends to match wonderfully with fall colors, making it an easy print to wear during this season. The best way to wear python print is to do so in small doses. To style a python accessory like this BCBGMAXAZRIA Python Box Clutch, wear it with dark fitted jeans and a blouse or tunic in black, tan, or gray. Finish it off with coordinating solid colored heels and simple jewelry. (Buy Direct) Oasis-stores.com Years ago, mixing metals may have raised some eyebrows. Today, it might turn some heads - in a good way. This fall is all about creating dimension within an outfit, and mixing metals is a great way to do just that. If you have jewelry made of different metals, don't be afraid to mix and match. You can also pick up an accessory that does the mixing for you, like these Crysta Mixed Metal Bangles by Oasis. Mixing metals creates a look that's different from the norm, keeping you ahead in the fashion game. (Buy Direct) Forever21.com Collar necklaces are yet another trend that focuses on the structure and build of the piece. The old trend of chokers makes a comeback in these short necklaces that are made to be worn close to the neck. If you'd like to try out this trend, opt for small stud earrings -- or none at all -- to keep the attention on the neck piece. Wear them with shirts that don't already have collars, such as boatneck tops, to let the statement piece shine on its own. Necklaces like this Textured Collar Necklace from Forever 21 are great for bringing an otherwise plain outfit to the next level. (Buy Direct) UrbanOutfitters.com When it comes to your fall jewelry, keep an eye out for simple yet bold shapes -- squares, triangles, and hexagons -- just to name a few. This trend is very minimalistic, stemming off from small details found in the tribal print trend. Triangular jewelry is especially popular, especially when grouped together, like this Tiered Geometric Necklace from Urban Outfitters. When wearing geometric jewelry, your best bet is to wear just one geometric piece at a time. This will give the shapes a chance to stand out and make a statement. (Buy Direct) | |
