As the days begin to grow crisp and short, summer’s floaty, whimsical clothes get replaced with utilitarian sweaters, boots and work dresses. The last days of August serve as a reminder to sartorially prepare for the season ahead. This year, as with almost all things 2020, there’s a different tenor to shopping for fall than in year’s past. As we continue to adjust to a new normal, so do our wardrobes.

With much of life continuing to take place at home for the foreseeable future, it’s no surprise that cheerful, mood-elevating accessories are taking center stage at the moment. We see the simplest carryalls getting floral upgrades, and eye-catching keychains instantaneously making worn-in house keys highly spirited. Upgraded Zooming is on the agenda with powerful pendant necklaces that break up the monotony of a week’s worth of tops. Without a doubt, it’s these bright, floral, and even sparkly accessories that can transport us to our happy places even in these austere times. 

Here, the striking seasonless accessories that will offer vivacity to your days ahead while taking you from summer to fall, and beyond.

Bric-A-Brac Clogs

The humble clog is humble no more. The breakout shoe of the summer is showing up in sumptuous suedes, playful patterns, and with sparkly embellishments. Simply add a sock to keep wearing your open-toed clogs well past summer’s end.

Not So Basic Work Bags

Pile all your possessions into a pretty carryall when you’re running out for errands. The runways have proven that bigger is better when it comes to bags, and options that employ floral motifs or bright, optimistic colors are mood-boosting indeed.
