FLATLY SPEAKING

Stow away last season’s block heeled boot, because fall/winter 2024 ushers in the joys of the flat boot. At Dior, boots came with a Mary Jane-inspired strap for a more demure take, while Coach amped up the city slicker vibe with biker-chic stompers. Then, Alberta Ferretti used flat Chelsea boots to contrast her line of feminine lace-trimmed dresses, giving them a chic edge.

Slip into these equestrian-inspired boots, and take them beyond the stables by pairing them with a floaty bohemian dress.

Another way you can wear the trend is to opt for a pair of combat-inspired boots. Use these platform lace-ups to toughen up a girlish skirt or dress.

Talk about a statement-making boot. Complement the artsiness of these graffiti-covered boots by teaming them with a printed skirt.

GETTING FUZZY

Move aside, boring leather bags, because this season’s hottest sacs offer up more than just eye candy: they’re equally tactile too, thanks to the fuzzy offerings shown on the runways of Chanel and Coperni. For an extra plush moment, Dries Van Noten offers a giant fuzzy clutch that could double up as a pillow for all of you on-the-go nappers out there.

Not entirely sure about this trend just yet? Take baby steps with a faux fur top handle that’s paired with a ladylike purse.

For chilly evenings, a fuzzy little purse is your best bet. It promises to keep your essentials warmly and securely stored, and looks super cute when settled at the dining table next to you.

Cut from plush shearling wool, this patchworked Puzzle bag promises to turn heads on your winter vacay.

AN EAR FOR DRAMA

Earrings this season have been supersized, and we’re entirely here for it. The danglers at Jil Sander featured multiple lines of crystal fringe, while Daniel Roseberry at Schiaparelli sent out structural drop earrings that felt reminiscent of the heady ’80s. In New York, Prabal Gurung chose to accompany his urban-inspired designs with earrings that resembled Alexander Calder sculptures. So chic!

The mixtures of different gemstone shapes adds an interesting texture to this pair of drop earrings. Play up the greens by mirroring the multi-hued colour palette in your clothing or makeup.

As with all things from Vivienne Westwood, these drop earrings—while dotted with faux pearls—still feel a little punk so play into the mood by pairing this with a cool leather jacket and ripped jeans.

GETTING HANDSY

The biggest surprise winner of the season? Gloves, which were seen in all manner and form across the major fashion capitals. Memorable standouts include Miu Miu’s utilitarian suede ones, Marni’s artfully scrunched-up gloves, and a pair of red-hot gloves from Ferrari’s show in Milan.

Mirror Ferrari’s all-red fit with your own red gloves, by way of these Olsen Twins-designed ones in buttery-soft leather.

FOLLOWING A PATTERN

We’ve all seen dopamine dressing, but how about dopamine accessories? Defying the usual dullness that comes with the fall/winter seasons, patterned shoes are making a big splash and we are happier for its return. Highlights include the richly-beaded boots at LOEWE, the floral pointed pumps at Giorgio Armani and the ladylike slingbacks with bold florals at Carolina Herrera.

Make a bold statement in these skyscrapper heels covered in lively iris blooms.

Off-duty moments can be fun when you’ve got a vibrant sandal with a pink scarf print on!

What we love about these mules is that the embellishment is done in a way that’s matted down, so it appears like a pattern from afar. As you wander closer to it, you realise that the intricate beading lends a dimensionality to these sculptural slip-ons.

IN THE SWING OF IT

Where earrings have gotten bigger, necklaces have gone the other way and gotten smaller and lower. This is the season of the low pendant, as evident on the runways of Bottega Veneta, Tom Ford and Rick Owens. We’re not complaining though: these necklaces help elongate the neck, which is a fabulous thing.

Wear your heart on your sleeve? Go one up and wear it on your neck with this adorable necklace!

In classic LOEWE fashion, this necklace deserves a double take because at first glance it looks like a regular pendant. On a second look, you’ll realise it’s actually a walnut-shaped pendant cast from brass and gold.

Beyond wearing it on your neck, you can string this around your waist as a belt, or looped a few more times around your wrist like a bracelet.

WILD CHILD

Need that extra bit of drama to your daily ‘fits? You ’re going to love these animalia bags then. Drawing inspiration from the animal kingdom, designers sent out every manner of bag that had an animal print or emboss down the runway. We saw it in the oversized snakeskin totebag at Moschino, the leopard-spotted clutch slinking down the runway at Versace, and the tiger-striped shoulder bag at Diesel, thus proving once again that it’s a zoo out there.

The brand’s iconic bag gets a miniature iteration with this croc-embossed bag.

If a full leopard printed bag is too much to commit to, this half-and-half design from Balenciaga lets you experiment with the print without a full-on feline explosion.

Zebra stripes have been slowly gaining popularity amongst designers and shoppers alike, so add this striped handbag to your cart to get ahead of the curve.

HAT TRICKS

It seems like designers are thinking of head-to-toe looks, which would probably explain the slew of dramatic headwear we saw this season. In Milan, Prada had officer peak caps covered in lush feathers and worn with column dresses. Paris had Dior’s leopard-printed cap and plenty of beanies shaped like kitten ears at Louis Vuitton. Question is: which would you pick?

Leave it to Moschino to find a new way of reimagining the cowboy hat. Here, it’s spliced down the middle so it’s a Stetson-like hat in front, and a visor in the back.
