15 must-have fashion trends and accessories coming this year

Fashion is constantly changing, but accessories are always a must.

Some timeless, some more fashionable, here are 15 fashion accessories that will enhance any look!

1. Leather Boots

Leather boots are a must have – they will accentuate your look and can be a great investment for your wardrobe.

Knee-high boots seem to be a favorite every time. Although leather boots come in a variety of heights, knee height always seems to be the “this” boots.

Try pairing them with a mini skirt or mini dress!

2. Colored nails

Nails are often essential to match a look – and it seems that current fashion trends are gravitating towards colorful.

As pictured below, each nail is in a different coloring that complements and is uniform in a French tip.

Since painted nails are not permanent, feel free to get creative!

6. Colorful down jackets

Especially since it’s winter, down jackets are always a must for this season.

Earlier this winter, The North Face’s brown puffer jacket was the jacket. It seems like everyone is into colorful puffer jackets these days, which I enthusiastically say yes to!

A splash of color is always wonderful.

11. Headbands

Personally, I can’t remember the last time I wore headbands outside of my elementary school days. However, headbands are so trendy for Gen Z right now.

Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf loved pairing her outfits with headbands, for a stylish reason. Try coordinating the colors of your headbands to match your outfit!
