SPOTLIGHT ON

Next season's accessories, now

17 August 2018


There are two camps when it comes to AW18's bag and shoe trends: frivolous and functional. The former being the fashion-forward, larger-than-life designs that make a statement all on their own, regardless of the outfit they’re paired with. The latter? A smart investment and guaranteed wardrobe hero for many more years to come. Here’s our edit of the best.


The new neutrals

Caramel, chocolate, vanilla: a delicious palette of neutral tones is set to whet your appetite for AW18.  With designers looking to the Seventies for inspiration, this is your chance to embrace all things retro – but with a modern twist. For inspiration, look to the catwalks of Chloe, Miu Miu and Marni: head-to-toe colour matching is key, from the jacket on your back to the candy on your arm. The effect is anything but beige.

Chasing the rainbow

If your go-to look is minimal  – we’re talking sleek monochrome separates or a simple white T-shirt and jeans – use this season’s bold and bright accessories to spice things up. Take your favourite LBD and add a shot of sunshine yellow, be it on your feet or proudly perched on the crook of your arm. Equally hot pink is huge right now, and will make any outfit feel just a little more fun without blurring the line of sophistication.

Animal instinct

Here's a look that's roaring louder than ever for AW18. Granted, wearing animal prints as clothing can feel a little too fierce for some – but accessories on the other hand, are a brilliant way to embrace your wild side without fully committing. And even then you can choose how far you take it, from statement leopard shoes to a subtle yet effective design detail on a bag. Whichever way you embrace it, rest assured that this is a trend that will never go out of style.
