Do you like to wear rings? Many designers chose to finish off their outfits with either one big ring or a stack of rings across the whole hand.

A statement necklace can definitely add a lot of style to your outfit. You could choose a completely contrasting color to your top or dress or a similar shade.

Chokers have been popular since the 1920s. The last time they were really on trend was the 1990s. So, perhaps you already have a choker you could dig out from the bottom of your jewelry box. If not, opt for a wide choker to ensure you’re bang-on-trend.

Cinching your waist with a wide belt can create a flattering silhouette. Wear over your dresses to update your look.

If you’re accessorizing your evening looks, one of the most on-trend ways to do so is with a big pair of earrings. Just make sure they aren’t too heavy so they don’t get uncomfortable to wear.

Chain necklaces are always on trend, but the links tend to be bigger or smaller each season. For 2021, it’s definitely on trend to opt for chunky chains. I would wear over a turtleneck or white shirt.

animal jewelry

Animals definitely inspire trends each new season. For fall, designers took the trend literally and opted for jewelry in animal shapes.

Neckerchiefs / headscarf

This is definitely a trend to be careful with as you don’t want to look old-fashioned so I’d keep the rest of your outfit very modern.

printed tights

You could, of course, wear a pair of black opaque tights. But the trend for the fall season is to choose a bright pair of tights or a pair featuring patterns.

Long gloves and arm warmers
