In an industry where fall collections are shown during the spring, and spring during the fall, each season feels like a time capsule into the future. And with all eyes on the runways, anticipating the trends that will determine how we dress (and shop) seven months from now, the pieces shown last year seem lost in a daydream. But lest we not forget that fall is around the corner, and our coveted accoutrements are now in stores. Thus, it’s time to shop!

When it comes to shopping, what we often forget is "accessories". But actually, accessories unlock more outfit potential in a way clothes simply cannot, and make them magic. Think pockets over socks, oversized raffia headwear shielding bikini-clad vacationers, or charming florals adorning brooches. What was once a daydream is now a reality. Reflecting back on the runways, find ahead the accessory trends that are sure to add a touch of charm to your wardrobe. So, prepare your wishlist – as here are the top accessory trends from the fashion weeks.

A constant battle between form and function was at play this season with a slew of pockets and pouches. The victor? Unclear. Rather, it appeared accessories seamlessly marrying the two dominating the utility-driven runways. In the Resort 2023 lineup, Fendi transformed another “It” bag Fendi Baguette over a pair of socks, while reimagining the socks in a way never did before. So, up your style by pulling up these socks.
