Fall’s Most Striking Accessories are Oversized, Textured, and (Strangest of All) Perfectly Practical

Fall’s Most Striking Accessories are Oversized, Textured, and (Strangest of All) Perfectly Practical

These bags, boots, and baubles are graphic, oversized, textured, and perhaps strangest of all: perfectly useful.

Between Louis Vuitton’s whimsical collaboration with Fornasetti to Francesco Risso’s marvelously large handbags from Marni, this season’s slew of accessories are interesting and enticing; some of them are even surprisingly convenient.

Despite their artistic appeal, Valentino’s texturized white PVC wellies could take on an unfortunate forecast, no problem. While Prada’s leather driving gloves come complete with a petite zip pouch if you wish to keep something small on hand (literally). And Miu Miu’s crocheted knit headscarves and masks will add a joyful pop of color to your neutral fall wardrobe, all the while keeping you warm and toasty.

Shop the newest and most fantastical fall accessories from Vogue’s August issue, below.



Upper Hand


Keep warm in Prada’s gloves (complete with pockets!) and a knit-trimmed jumpsuit and make things easy with Connor Ive’s shoulder bag that perfectly coordinates with this jacket and skirt.



Like Magic


This season, Marni’s strikingly oversized crimson bag is hard to miss; meanwhile, magic mushrooms get a fashionable twist in a dangly pair of earrings.



Head Case


Classics go fantastic when an arresting clutch by Louis Vuitton x Fornasetti meets a Kenzo oversized sweater—it’s all bold lines and blown-out proportions.



Soft Focus


This S.R. STUDIO. LA. CA. bag joyously resembles something out of a childhood toy box and is the perfect vessel for fall blooms. Plus, it’s a worthy companion for this slinky Alexander McQueen knit dress. JW Anderson’s voluminous dress is grounded with a pair of stompy Valentino rain boots.



Spun Out


Don’t be fooled by its homespun, seemingly hodgepodge coziness; this two-toned balaclava is pure, immaculate joy, as are the twisted, crocheted face masks worn as a bandeau top. Also, Bottega Veneta’s roller skates are heaven on wheels.
