13 No-Fuss Fall Accessories

Summer, it’s been real. But I’m making room for autumn. The warm-hued makeup palettes and 5-layer outfits are just as exciting as the pumpkin-flavored menu items and brand new season premieres. (C’mon, Shonda Rhimes!) While I revel in fall fashion, I think certain accessories can seem a bit impractical. Wide-brimmed wool hats are romantic, unless you’re sitting behind one during your 9:00am lecture. And suede booties are just asking to be rained on. For that reason, I’ve put together a list of accessories that are easy to find, easy to style and easy on the wallet. 

1. Ecote Whipstitch Rings Belt, Urban Outfitters ($24.00): Pair a skinny waist belt with a grungy shirtdress, a flannel top and a pair of biker boots.
2. 2-Pack Stiff Necklaces, ZARA ($25.90): Dress ’em up with a woven blouse and pencil skirt, or dress ’em down with a chiffon button-up and jeans.
3. Pieces Gyppa Chain Statement Necklace, Asos ($34.82): Wear this neutral statement necklace over a solid sweater and quilted leather jacket.
4. Saffy Pull On Elastic Gusset Chelsea Boot, Boohoo ($39.99): It seems these are slowly joining combat and riding boots as the staple fall shoe.
5. Mixed Knit Snood Scarf, ZARA ($25.90): On those brisk autumn days, protect ya’ neck in a multicolored circle scarf, knit tee and denim jacket.
6. Faux Fox Fur Stole, Topshop ($50.00): For a dressier, more polished look, layer a neutral faux fur collar over a wool coat or cotton parka.
7. High Heeled Ankle Strap Sandal, ZARA ($79.90): On a night out, swap the white sandals for some cool-toned metallic ones (or, you know, don’t).
8. Large Face Slim Strap Watch, Asos Curve ($38.69): Rock a simple, skinny watch with a collared shirt, longline sweater, readers and cuffed jeans.
9. Bracelet With Charm, H&M ($3.95): Ward off bad vibes—that means you, annual allergy-induced cold—with a dainty Hamsa charm bracelet.
10. Sneakers, H&M ($9.95): Wear these understated high-tops with a pair of cozy-chic sweatpants, a crewneck, and a skull cap on a lazy autumn day.
11. Fine Rib Knitted Turban Hat, Asos ($19.35): Don’t feel like fumbling with your hair? Tuck your roots under a turban and throw in some loose waves.
12. Zipped Bucket Bag, ZARA ($79.90): There’s just something about a bucket bag that says fall. Stuff it with deep red lipsticks and decadent perfumes.
13. Checked Scarf, ZARA ($29.90): If tartan trousers aren’t your cup of oolong, opt for a plaid scarf with a denim shirt, black jeans and ankle boots.
