Chunky loafers, gloves & alien eyewear: The cool new accessories to elevate your style game
1. Gloves
custom

Glove-mania has taken the world by storm. From fingerless mesh gloves to long leather variants, celebrities and content creators are obsessed with them. These accessories introduce a touch of old Hollywood glamour into the mix for any occasion, be it having brunch with the besties or attending a gala.

2. Alien Eyewear
custom

Without a doubt, fashion has taken a quirky turn ever since the pandemic hit and we’re totally here for it. Oversized sunglasses are back after a quick hiatus, and have taken on the form of a bug eye or alien-like shape which hugs the face – both unsettling yet futuristic.

3. Baseball Caps
custom

This humble cap style is quintessential to achieve that “off-duty” look. Don’t look down on baseball caps – they’re an easy solution for bad hair days or whenever you feel too lazy to style those locks. And don’t just take our word for it; models off the runway like Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid and royals like Princess Diana have all rocked this accessory.

4. Messenger Bags
custom

While tiny purses continue to have their place in fashion, utility is something that cannot be beat. Messenger bags have made their return to fashion, partly thanks to Bella Hadid being spotted with a vintage Chanel messenger a few weeks ago. This is a no muss, no fuss style usually made of canvas, with a spacious interior and multiple pockets to hold your necessities.

5. Double Belting
custom

Nope, do not change your glasses, you are seeing double. When Miu Miu first debuted their outrageously short miniskirts, no one expected dual buckles to start trending, but here we are. As with many TikTok fads, the style is fluid and every creator is putting their own spin on it, from mismatched belts to contrasting buckles.

6. Ties
custom

This traditionally masculine accessory made an unexpected appearance on the FW22 runways, including Prada, Louis Vuitton and Ralph Lauren, but it has definitely taken off ever since. The internet’s obsession with everything Y2K might be the reason – or maybe we just love the subtle notes of power that a tie can exude.

7. Chunky Loafers
custom

Loafers are a timeless footwear classic, but the chunky-sole rendition has been all the rage this season. Their versatility is the key to their popularity among stars like Hailey Bieber. Chunky loafers can easily be worn with casual jeans, formal maxi dresses or even trendy miniskirts, which upgrades a look from snooze to cool.
