The saying goes that accessories make an outfit, and that's particularly true in the fall. Cooler temperatures allow for a wider range of clothing and accessory options, so the styling possibilities are endless. That's just one of the many reasons I've been counting down the days until we can return to fall fashion—with a 2024 update. The theme that punctuated the fall/winter 2024 runway shows was a return to elegance, from satin coats to hourglass shapes. In the accessory realm, this means leather gloves, box-shaped bags, and bold cuffs are poised to take over.
I love that these classic styles are having a resurgence because they feel less like trendy pieces and more like timeless investments. I'm fully leaning into elegant accessories this season, so I turned to my favorite retailers to start curating my fall wish list. After some extensive browsing, I've zeroed in on 32 key items I'm eyeing for my fall wardrobe, all of which add instant polish to an outfit. Below are the best elegant fall accessories from Shopbop, Revolve, and Nordstrom.
