If you're a frequent Who What Wear reader, then you know our editors love Nordstrom, myself included. But I have to admit I haven't been giving the accessories department the attention it rightly deserves. Today, I found myself scrolling through Nordstrom's accessories and spent hours lost in the new arrivals—just one Tory Burch bag after another, countless under-$100 gems (like this Petit Moments tassel pendant), and never-ending designer finds. This got me thinking about the accessories trends I'll keep and add this fall. I'm over the seashell motifs and wood-bead totes. Crochet caps and jelly sandals had their moment, but I'm ready for something new. So I made a list of the It-girl accessories trends I will be wearing this fall. Below are my findings.

I fought the urge to include upward of eight trends and decided to keep it simple and focus on the three I believe deserve the spotlight. No spoilers; you must scroll to find out which ones made the list. If you lean toward effortless sophistication and luxe silhouettes, you are in for a treat. Ahead are three rich-looking Nordstrom accessories trends to wear in 2026.

3 Rich-Looking Nordstrom Accessories Trends for 2026

Drawstring Pouch

Dainty, elegant, and effortless is how I'd describe the drawstring-pouch trend. Its sophistication appeals to the chicest of the style set. Available in satin, suede, and leather, this bag captures the current nostalgia for vintage silhouettes with modern craftsmanship. I've hand-selected styles from COS, Tory Burch, Bottega Veneta, Coach, and more for your approval.

Beaded Necklace

A chunky beaded necklace is the ultimate summer-to-fall piece. On one hand, the semiprecious stones feel playful, but depending on styling, like a long-sleeve white T-shirt or leather accents, it can easily be worn well into the -ber months. And there's no denying Nordstrom has plenty of options, from monochrome stones to earth-tone styles.

Bug-Eye Sunglasses

The names for this trend may vary, but the inspiration is the same: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Oversize frames were a staple accessory for the former First Lady. It only makes sense that we saw a revival of these round lenses—nicknamed bug-eye sunglasses for their insect-esque silhouette and shielding abilities—this summer, and following their popularity with Gen Z, brands like Celine, Prada, and Miu Miu have extended the trend into fall. Snag a pair, whether designer or under $100, and watch the compliments roll in.
