Anna Wintour Says This Is the #1 Accessory of Fall 2019

It's that time of year when retailers are shoving all their new fall pieces down your throat, and the options can be overwhelming, to say the least. If you're pondering which pieces are truly worth the investment for the new season, allow Anna Wintour to help. In the newest video for her Go Ask Anna series, Wintour was asked what she thinks is the accessory of the season, and she was quick to reply.
"The accessory of the season has to be the boot," Wintour says in the video. "Short boots, long boots, mid-calf boots, any kind of boots. Suede, leather, canvas, printed, plain—it's your choice." So there you have it: Boots should be the number one accessory you spend your money on for fall. Of course, Wintour herself is a huge proponent of boots and wears them to all the shows in the winter.
Speaking of fashion week, Wintour also was asked in the video if it's as glamorous as it seems. "Fashion week, fashion month, fashion year is a lot of work, but the minute you see a great show, you see new talent, or a wonderful new model, everything becomes worth it," she replied.
