To wear an on-fleek outfit is to not just focus on clothing but also to look out for trendy accessories that can be styled with it. This pandemic, we saw the growing interest in handbags and how the young Gen-Z girls can’t stop talking about the baguettes. Along with the bucket hat obsession, retailers also noticed the unexpected rise of rectangle framed glasses. A women’s watch can be a stylish and functional accessory, complementing any outfit and providing a convenient way to tell time. What are these trends and where did they come from? When did we shift from all black or neutral fits to neon and funky printed prints and patterns?
The accessories market really is blooming tremendously. Aftermarket sales will reach $ 494,583 million in 2021 and the market is expected to grow by 4.59% annually. So to stay with the crowd, it’s high time we invest in these things as soon as possible. From tote bags to lace sandals, there are plenty of things we have listed down for you that will help you elevate your wardrobe and make you stand out from the crowd.
Corset Belts
In the late 2020 and early 2021, retailers saw an increase in the sales of corset belts or wide waist belts. This is mainly because of the numerous small fashion businesses coming up on Instagram. Wide waist belts with a little lace up here and there that will give your loose fit a completely different look are going to be in a trend for a while. It is a fantastic way to create an illusion of an hour-glass figure and can be paired in multiple ways. Most common ways you can pair this would be with an oversized coat or a blazer, sweaters or dresses. Corset belts are a fashion trends in 2023, cinching in the waist and adding a touch of drama to any outfit. Try to go for classic colors with the belt this way- you can wear it on a variety of silhouettes.
Tote Bags
Tote bags have always been around but recently, we noticed everyone around us carrying one on their shoulders. Everywhere you look, someone has it on. Probably, simply because they are so lightweight, spacious and very easy to carry. They truly serve the purpose of a bag and make life easier for us. So, stock on these as most of them are very budget-friendly and back on the ramps now.
Bucket Hats
In spite of being enormous in 2020, bucket hats aren’t going anyplace in 2021. The 90s cap is all over the place, from gingham and flower prints, to rattan styles worn over the mid-year. After Rihanna was spotted wearing a 90s-roused faux fur bucket hat with a slip dress, looks for the hat soar. This year again, the fuzzy style is set to detonate. If you haven’t got one yet, there’s still some time to invest.
Pearl Strands
When it comes to jewelry, pearls have been a classic since ages. Baroque pearls are extremely famous now, given their asymmetrical shape. That makes each pearl exceptional and more artistic. Strands of ornate pearls in various tones, of various sizes, can look extraordinary with any outfit, regardless of whether it is a formal or an ordinary plain outfit. When choosing the right jewelry, consider your skin tone and the colors you will be wearing for a flattering look.
Invest in pearl earrings, necklaces, anklets or bags.
Chunky Platform Boots
Chunky shoes have always been a fad. However, every once in a while they come back, and fashion enthusiasts are left with no choice but to welcome them in. Pair them up with a midi skirt, a mini dress or even a trench coat. Go with colorful ones since GenZ girls have brought in colors again.
Scarf
The 90’s are back and yet again they’ve brought all the things we love. Go with a variety of prints and patterns having some funky colors and style them as you wish. A classic bandana look can never go wrong but you can always carry a Carrie Bradshaw scarf look and look as fashionable as one can. The young girls have also begun tying the scarf as a top and pairing it with wide legged jeans. Comes with a tad bit of risk but what is fashion without some risk anyways!
Everything Purple
Pantone recently announced their color of the year “Veri Peri” which is a shade of purple and ever since then, bags, hair accessories, boots, you name it and it’s there. Everyone on the streets of New York has been flaunting some purple and to be honest you can never go wrong with it. So go ahead and shop for some purple!
Clay Rings
I’m sure you must have spotted clay rings on Social Media platforms. They are these chunky vibrant colorful rings that completely make you stand out in the room. Gone are the days when the accessories used to be minimal. These are times for you to go all out and hoard them as soon as possible!
