1. Classic watches
We’ve never been more convinced of the all-occasion glamour of a small, ladylike watch than we are right now—and the crowds at Fashion Month agree wholeheartedly. Bracelet watches are especially popular, gracing the wrists of women who want to dress up oversized sweaters and low-key button-downs; meanwhile, leather timepieces feature faces and straps that are as slim and retro-looking as possible. So while you might not be able to afford a Cartier Tank, no worries—as long as your pick fits the throwback vibe, you’ll be right on trend.
2. Statement sunglasses
Big, buggish, almost alien sunglasses reigned supreme on the spring-summer runways, adding unexpected dimension to relatively plain outfits at Prada, Loewe, Miu Miu, Zimmermann, and Chloé. And sleek, sporty lenses at Tory Burch and Fendi added to the futuristic vibe of the season ahead—clearly, space is the place. While you can totally buy into the trend via designer sunnies, plenty of under-$50 pairs (like the gems below) fit the bill perfectly.
4. Boho beauties
Suede bags at Zimmermann and Isabel Marant. Retro sunglasses at Chloé and Saint Laurent. Tassel earrings at Ralph Lauren and Tory Burch. Chain belts at Chanel and Miu Miu. It’s impossible to deny that 1970s-meets-2010s boho chic is coming for our accessories this season—and honestly, we couldn’t be more excited. In our editors’ opinion, any spring outfit could be improved with an earth-tone hobo bag, a gold chain, or some ’70s sunglasses, so get a jump on the look below.
4. Sculptural accents
Judging by the best styling of 2025’s first months, we’re in for a year of sculptural metal moments. Balmain, Chloé, Dries Van Noten, and Isabel Marant showed chunky cuffs for spring; Bottega Veneta spiced up dresses with brooches and bags with sculpted metal handles; Luar and Grace Ling incorporated metallic accents directly into their clothes. These pieces offer the same arty effect, instantly making run-of-the-mill ensembles feel elevated. Feel free to go minimalist with the rest of your outfit; they’ll do all the talking for you.
5. Medicine bags
Medicine bags—also known as satchels and bowling bags—have pretty much taken over the world at the dawn of 2025, with major spring showings everywhere from Hermès to Louis Vuitton to Stella McCartney. Their appeal is obvious: With plenty of room to store everything you’ll need in a day (or a weekend, if you go with that Coach carryall below), they’re the ultimate on-the-go accessories. Pro tip: Every model these days clutches them under their arms (see above), so do the same to look like a fashion insider.
6. Coastal cool
One through line from nearly all of our favorite collections this spring has been nautical references: Chloé’s gilded seashells, Zimmermann’s coastal charm necklaces, Ralph Lauren’s cascading pearls, Dries Van Noten’s marine-inspired jewelry, Diotima’s oyster-like embellishments, Bottega Veneta’s woven fisherman bags. After all, when life gets complicated, you can always escape to the beach. Whether your take skews more boho or toward coastal prep—a key spring fashion trend this year—these picks will fit right into your existing wardrobe.
7. Mixed-metal jewelry
That old rule about sticking to one tone when you’re accessorizing? It’s only designed to hold you back. Fashion Month’s most stylish guests have mixed metals with abandon, often within the same piece, this spring—and there’s no reason to stop yourself from doing the same. Start with a monochromatic outfit (we suggest all black) and then layer the goodies below with any gold or silver in your collection. Chic!
