The top 10 accessory trends of FW ’20

Jewels, fancy headpieces and unconventional belts galore. Here are the biggest accessory trends of the FW ‘20 season

by Michelle Yeoh  /   March 20, 2020
Top accessories trend for Fall/Winter 2020

For FW ‘20, designers looked to the past for inspiration, endowing outfits with accessories from the days of yore. There were renaissance hats which resembled over-voluminised berets at Missoni, ‘70s-style bandanas courtesy of Dior, and brightly saturated costume jewellery ala Chanel. Many designers also delivered a master class in Royal Family style protocol. The resurgence of opera-length gloves, face veils sprouting out from fascinators and pillbox hats on the runway signals that our fall 2020 wardrobes are about to be infused with a heavy dose of ladylike dressing. 

Scroll down to check out the biggest accessory trends of the coming season.

The top 10 accessory trends of FW '20
Face veils: Marc Jacobs
image

Light wispy lattice structures of face veils framed the faces of models walking down the runways of FW ‘20. The netted veil, which was more commonly associated with bridal wear, has now been given mainstream fashion’s official stamp of approval. Marc Jacobs paired a speckled tweed skirt suit with a matching derby hat and a black netted veil.

Face veils: Louis Vuitton
image

At Louis Vuitton, the veil was attached to a velvet LV-branded headband and was neatly trimmed to a feminine scallop edge right above the upper lip.

Showbit
Face veils: Rodarte
image

Rodarte took on an even softer approach, with a white crystal lattice structure floating above and affixed to the model’s head with a bouquet of sherbet orange orchids.

Showbit
Headbands: Prada
image

Ever since Prada introduced the fashion world to the idea of embellished padded headband in SS ‘19, the hair accoutrement has ostensibly gained major traction everywhere. Having successfully set the stage for the headband to make a striking comeback, it was of no surprise to us when Prada introduced a new variation of the Alice band – but this time, it looks dangerously knife-sharp. The Prada tiaras are cut from shiny reflective metals, branded by the Prada logo in the centre, and feature mezzaluna-shaped structured propped upright to add height above your head.

Showbit
Headbands: Fendi
image

Fendi, however, took the soft padded headbands and offered a different twist: wearing them upside down instead. Worn on the back of the head, thick headbands in padded leather, blush pink velvet, and jewelled tone satin scrunchies provided a brand new insight as to how we can accessorise next season.

Evening gloves: Fendi
image

Fancy a touch of old school Hollywood glamour? Designers turned to dressy evening gloves to give their looks a heightened sense of drama and old world elegance. That’s not to say that they borderlined on costumey, however: opera-length gloves were anchored by a refined sensibility as they were paired seamlessly with contemporary looks ranging from sleeveless draped dresses to tailored suits. Standouts from the season include Fendi’s blush pink leather pair, Givenchy’s off-white number (tactfully styled with a gargantuan statement ring, might we add) and Giambattista Valli’s white opera-length gloves rendered in pink watercolour florals.

Bandanas: Christian Dior
image

The second we spotted Dior’s printed bandanas on the FW ‘20 runway, we knew it would be a fast-selling Instagram favourite come next fall. Inspired by the ‘70s, Maria Grazia Chiuri offered a fun accent for her many looks for fall: the bandana. Tie-dyed, monogrammed, or plastered in groovy Seventies-style patterns, the bandanas were about to be a huge hit amongst the fashion crowd.

Bandanas: Marc Jacobs

Monochromatic banadas at Marc Jacobs were adorned with crystal brooches, and at Jacquemus, pistachio green head scarves were the key accessory of the collection.

Heirloom charms: Chanel
image

Fresh from your grandmother’s trove of jewels, vintage-inspired heirloom charms are about to be big next fall. Possessing a precious “pre-loved” quality and oweing a huge bulk of its appeal to that personal, emotional connection one would have towards a family’s prized locket or charm bracelet, heirloom jewels with an antiqued finish are revisited to imbue the season’s jewellery with a more thoughtful, nostalgic vibe. At Chanel, chunky gold chain bracelets and necklaces were dripping with colourful saturated gems and letter charms. Dolce & Gabbana had a statement choker featuring pastel crystals, and Dior’s faux pearl bracelet showcased an assortment of random charms that looked like a collector’s prized possession.

Beanies: Brandon Maxwell

Beanies are well-associated with the casual dressing world, even more so whenever the colder seasons come around. But for FW ‘20, these knitted caps are given the high fashion treatment, appearing on the runways of designers like Brandon Maxwell and Max Mara. At the former, monochromatic tailored wear were teamed with speckled beanies; at the latter, tightly fitted toques complemented the brand’s signature polished coats.

Beanies also came bejewelled in brooches and crystals at Erdem, offering a more feminine take on the trend.

Metal collars: Chloé
image

Think: Punk, but refined. Metal chokers were revisited for fall but with a more polished, elegant styling. Featuring clean modern lines, a minimalist aesthetic and abstract shapes, hardcore metal collar necklaces are given a softer, pared back aesthetic. Chloé’s serpent-inspired gold choker is one of our favourites. Other top contenders include Balmain’s triple-link hoops choker and Alexander McQueen’s chunky silver collar with a drop charm moulded to resemble half of a heart.

Hats from history: Missoni
image

It seems as though designers had their noses in one too many history books, as hats and headpieces of yore were brought back into the current zeitgeist during the FW ‘20 presentations. At Missoni, floppy Renaissance-style hats in colourful stripes looked as though it could be pulled off by any modern woman with a bright red lipstick and a flowy slip dress.

Showbit
Hats from history: Daniela Gregis
image

At Daniela Gregis, French-painter-vibes were aplenty as models with paint brush strokes on their cheeks were dressed with wide-brim berets.

Hats from history: Gucci
image

Pillbox hats and Puritan flat top hats were spotted at Gucci.

Showbit
Rope belts: Chanel
image

Taking a rustic approach to next season’s accessoring, designers crafted belts from cords of rope. Silver crystal-embellished cords were braided with black satin ribbons to form an ornate belt finished with charms and tassels branded by the double-C logo at Chanel.

Rope belts: Max Mara
image

Elie Saab grounded rich embellished evening dresses with a black rope belt, and Max Mara sent out a series of raw rope belts to accompany voluminous dresses, jumpsuits, tailored striped trousers and velvet skirts in both chunky and slim options.

Showbit
Furry neck warmers: Lanvin
image

Keeping in line with the “comfort is key” mentality of the season, soft cushiony shrugs and collars crafted from a tuft of feathers and soft fur are here to keep your necks warm and snug this fall. We’re utterly obsessed with Lanvin’s furry collars that were seen in a slew of dreamy colours ranging from pastel pink to powder blue. Teamed next to sexy slip dresses, the soft pilose collars were fitted with a gold brooch in the center.

Showbit
Furry neck warmers: Erdem
image

At Erdem, plumes of black feathers made up stunning crystal embellished collars that sculpted the models’ faces like a piece of artwork.

Furry neck warmers: Fendi

Fendi leaned into the luxe aesthetic with a pink satin shrug featuring pink and black rows of plush fur.
