Meet This Holiday Season's Most Covetable Accessories
The holidays are a time for a lot of things: family, gifts, parties, and—our favorite—dressing up. (Sorry, dad.) If, upon hearing that, your mind went straight to velvet and sequins, do yourself a favor and reel it back in. Sure, the holiday season can be an opportune time to debut all the festive fashions you've acquired over the year, but it doesn't have to be. If you prefer to err on the minimalistic side of the style spectrum, there's another way to still impress from now until New Year's Day, and it all comes down to accessories.
In my experience, the simplest outfits can be transformed with the help of a few strategic add-ons, be it a fun hat, an eye-catching piece of jewelry, or a conversation-starting purse. If shoes are your kryptonite, so be it. Throw on a baby-pink pair of Alaïa round-toe shoes with jeans and a button-down shirt or some animal-print loafers to excite a classic pair of black trousers. With the right accouterments, any ensemble can win you best dressed at your next holiday soirée. From jewelry to eyewear, headgear to handbags, the 29 covetable accessories below are just what your outfits need this season. Plus, the entire forthcoming list makes for a great hint for everyone you're expecting a gift from—just saying.
To get a proper holiday look, you can't go wrong with Audrey Hepburn as your inspiration. Follow her lead in Charade with these oval-shaped Gucci sunglasses.
A pop of the holiday season's most beloved color never hurts a simple turtleneck or cashmere sweater.
This new colorway of Alaïa's cult-favorite Le Teckel Bag feels very winter coded.
Trust me—any coat can benefit from a pair of leather elbow-length gloves.
I adore this color when it's paired with a chocolate-brown or charcoal-gray wool coat.
Excuse my drooling. I can't help it when I look at this thing of beauty.
Skip the dainty gold jewelry and opt for baubles with a little more oomph.
From the croc print to the patent leather to the statement (but not too statement-y) gold buckle, everything about this belt is unquestionably desirable.
This Panthère is more like a work of art than a piece of jewelry, if you ask me.
Didn't have time to wash your hair before the next party on your holiday agenda? Don't fret. Get Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's signature look with this tortoiseshell headband and a slicked-back chignon.
Saint Laurent has the fashion world scouring the internet for cool ties to style up their suits with.
Speaking of Saint Laurent, these glasses by the French fashion house have your name written all over them.
Brown suede is the moment this year, especially for the colder seasons. Try it in belt form with this stunning double-wrap add-on from Toteme.
Rihanna has been loving this intrecciato masterpiece.
If you plan to wear an updo this holiday season, please, I beg of you, add this sculptural ear cuff.
Everyone I know is willing to claw their way to a pair of animal-print loafers right now—no matter what it takes.
These Tory Burch tights stirred something in me when I first saw them on the runway. I'm just so smitten with their subtle, sheer print.
When I tell you I was shocked to find this perfect green suede Patrizia bag in stock, I'm not kidding. It looks like a Margaux for a fraction of the price.
There are so many ways that you could style this satin scarf. The possibilities really are endless.
Get the Loro Piana look that every fashion person is hoping to achieve with these $150 Jeffrey Campbell almond-toe flats.
