Structured, classic, and embossed with the It finish of the season, mock croc, this bag really nails everything that's trending at the moment. I can count on the fact that whenever I wear it—no matter whatever else I'm wearing—my outfit will be pulled-together and primed for a load of positive reactions from everyone I encounter. Since every Staud creation goes on to become an It piece, there's no surprise why its Nic bag has earned a loyal following of fashion people.

Ganni's whimsical printed dresses are always fan favorites among the fashion crowd, and I finally added one to my own closet recently. When I posted a detail shot of the sleeve of this dress to my Instagram, I got so many comments and DM's about the dress—people were obsessed.

Does a clothing item ever make you feel really and truly seen? This is how I felt the first time I laid eyes on these wonderful slime green moiré patterned trousers. They are a little bit unexpected, which I think catches people off guard when I wear them out and about. I swear to you that every time I wear them, people go out of their way to comment, compliment, and inquire about where they're from.

I've highlighted before just how beloved this piece is by seemingly every single fashion girl from Copenhagen to NYC. The infamous fur-trimmed statement coat comes in a zillion colors and two lengths, but I'm a fan of the shorter polka-dotted version that's so fun to wear and just as easy to style. The fuzzy cuffs are what people comment the most on whenever I wear it, asking to feel the (beyond-soft) texture.

KatKim's red carpet–approved ear pins are absolute stunners. From Lady Gaga to Dua Lipa, celebs are obsessed with the one-of-a-kind jewelry piece—and frankly, so am I. After trying one out for myself, I immediately understood what all the hype is about. Sure, they're not exactly cheap, but styling one with your hair tucked back makes for a major jewelry moment that will rake in the compliments left and right.

There's no denying that the '90s are trending hard in fashion right now, and in my opinion, a leather-looking trench coat is the best way to nail the throwback aesthetic and earn a flurry of compliments at the same time. I opted for a vintage-y hunter green piece, but as you'll see below, fashion people are also favoring the classic black versions, too.

There's really nothing like a unique handbag to attract a wave of compliments from strangers and Instagram followers alike. For me, this is the lovely creation from Miami-based accessory line NST Studio. From the luxurious silk fabric to the knotted shape and dainty floral print, there's a lot to love about this piece.

A certain under-$10 set of pearl hair clips from Amazon completely went viral this winter, and yours truly counts as one of their many fans. The hair clips popped up all over the street during fashion week and flooded our Instagram feeds in the weeks following and I can definitively say that they're a compliment-generating accessory as good as any.
