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

A pop of colour goes a long way when breathing new life into a look and Valentino’s Pink PP is definitely the way to go.

These gloves sport graphic prints that have caught the eye of many celebrities. They’re comfortable too, looking and feeling like a second-skin.

Nothing says opulent like embroidered tulle. This pair featuring Gucci’s monogram is the perfect finishing touch for a date night outfit.

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.

This pair takes ‘go big or go home’ to a whole new level with oversized grey tinted lenses and retractable arms.

Justin Bieber has been a fan of this brand as of late, sporting a couple of designs in a similar style.

When in doubt, fall back on a black pair of sunnies that can be easily matched with any look.

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.

Why opt for a simple black baseball cap when you can get one embellished with glimmering appliqués? After all, a little sparkle never hurt anyone.

Denim can be both casual and chic at the same time. Lovers of logomania will also be pleased with Louis Vuitton’s iconic logo motifs covering the surface.

Now, this is a statement piece. This experimental design by Burberry combines a headband into a baseball cap, which makes it totally retro chic.

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.

Serve the rugged look with this khaki-green messenger by CELINE. The bag features elastic pockets on the sides of the bag, which makes carrying a bottle a snap.

Made of regenerated nylon, this messenger is equipped to carry a laptop safely with an internal padded compartment to protect it while you’re on the go.

Leave an impression with this stunning scarlet Prada number just casually hanging off your shoulder while running errands all day.

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.

Things aren’t always as they seem. This cleverly disguised double buckle belt is actually attached at the back.

Dive full force into this trend by pairing a leather belt with a web belt. Nonchalant dressing to the max.

Big belts are having a moment too, so let’s give them some love.

Boring ties are passè. Opt for a colourful swirly one that grabs attention from a mile away.

Even a subtle look could use a little shimmer. This silk tie features the Italian house’s signature interlocking ‘G’ motifs in vibrant jacquard.

Different colourways are important when it comes to accessories. Add this beige embroidered tie to your existing pool of ties, and whip it out whenever you need some contrast with a dark-coloured outfit.

The gold chain detail modernises and uplifts this classic silhouette, which can double up as a work shoe on the weekdays and a casual piece for the weekends.

Glossy patent leather just hits differently – elegant yet feisty. The squared tips are also unique, making this pair of loafers a must-have.

Using matte beige leather, this pair of loafers by Ganni features split rubber soles for maximum comfort while delivering the right amount of edge.
