Beyond how you wear something, accessories are often what make an outfit feel truly personal. The fall 2026 collections leaned into this expression of individuality, showcasing an array of accents that encourage thoughtful experimentation. Many of the standouts carried over from spring—silk scarves, felt hats, wraparound sunglasses, and brooches proved their staying power as purposeful, personality-driven touches.
Elsewhere, stoles stole the show, particular those draped languidly over the shoulder or fashioned as cummerbunds. Maybe your style is all about a singular statement, or maybe you’re drawn multiple trends at once—whichever side you find yourself, fall 2026’s top accessory trends have something for everyone. The Floral Brooch
The brooch isn’t going anywhere any time soon.
Blooming florals proved to be the ultimate crowdpleaser, though, appearing at Chanel, Loro Piana, Khaite, Dior, and Kallmeyer. Wraparound Sunglasses
Every season has a standout eyewear shape. This season, the wraparound shield-like sunglasses are having their moment. However far into the future you venture with your pair of choice, they all possess a sleek and sporty edge. Western Belts
Western-inspired belts brought unexpected edge to tailored pieces on the runway, looped over coats and suit trousers.
From Chloé’s galloping horse buckle to Polo Ralph
From Chloé’s galloping horse buckle to Polo Ralph Lauren’s turquoise-encrusted style, the way to making them feel modern is to keep the rest of your look streamlined. Charmed
Fall’s approach to charm jewelry is less minimalist and more bohemian. Take cues from Celine and Dries Van Noten and look for long pendants featuring a constellation of medallions, letters, shells, horns, the like.
The more eclectic your collection, the better. Pile them on over knits and button-downs. Hat Trick
Put down the ball cap. The runways made a strong case for topping off your look with a statement hat. Look for wool and felt styles that retain more structure than traditional knit beanies. Stoles
The fringe scarf is back, and there’s no one way to wear it anymore: drape it over your shoulders, knot it over your waist as a belt, or let it trail loosely over a coat.
Opera-Length Gloves
Go long with an opera glove this fall, either in a colorful hue to contrast an evening gown or a versatile neutral to slip underneath the sleeves of your coat. Clutch Your Pearls
Pearls appeared in all shapes and sizes on the runways this fall, from layered pendants to gumdrop-sized chokers styled in both minimalist and maximalist ways. Printed Silk Scarves
Perhaps the most versatile accessory of the bunch, scarves are an easy way to add interest and dimension to your outfit.
Formats range from small to large, so shop for a size and print that speaks to you and your wardrobe. Tights
Whether you go colorful or neutral, hosiery adds interest without overpowering. We love the idea of experimenting with tonal looks (Valentino), or creating contrast with color blocking (Jil Sander).
