If you know me at all, you know that accessories are really where I come to play. I'm happily settled into this current iteration of my personal style and have made some solid investments in winter apparel, so my more frivolous seasonal dabbles (and relentless scrolling) tend to be mainly focused on the accessory department.
Whether you're looking to spend just a little on something fun or really invest in something special, this season's offerings are even more covetable than usual. There's no shortage of polished footwear and belts to dress up your denim, trending bags that you'll never get sick of carrying, and all the cozy hats, gloves, and scarves that are making this New York weather a teeny bit more palatable. Note that they don't need to be loud to make a statement—plenty of the picks below are low-key classics, but I guarantee they'll get you compliments.
