Fall is obviously the time to bring out your best layering, but not just with clothing. Your accessory game also has the opportunity to become top-notch, allowing you to pair all sorts of bits and bobs together to elevate an outfit. Think chunky scarves, studded belts, thick cuffs, and moto-style boots. The options are endless. While my seasonal mood board is filled with pieces from Bottega Veneta, Khaite, and The Row, my budget is decidedly not as spendy. But if you think that's going to stop me from having a sartorially strong fall, think again. I used my fashion-editor skills to scroll through tons of retailers' pages and find the more affordable accessories that emulate the luxe look I'm going for.
Are you ready to level up your wardrobe this season? One of the belts below will transform the classic sweater-and-jeans combo you've been wearing every fall. And that long ribbed knit dress you love? Drop earrings and a cuff will make it look brand new. Your basics won't know what hit them. Keep scrolling to shop my edit, and be prepared to add to your cart. I already have.
