Day Clutch
No handles, no problem. Allow a roomy clutch to tuck away your essentials. Victoria Beckham presented oversized iterations in rich hues, while pillowy clutches like the one from Giambattista Valli offered a sense of softness.

Minimalist TOTE
If you find yourself with a heavy load, opt for a carryall shopper to streamline your day. Clean lines and oversized shapes with minimal adornment are a nod to the quiet luxury movement.

Y2K-inspired BAGS
The Aughts continue to track and just like the original era, a handbag is a key element in the trend. Structured hobos, pochettes and baguettes are top shapes—and as for size, petite is the route to take.

While yellow gold has dominated the jewelry space for the last several years, silver is discreetly plotting its comeback. Sculptural statement designs like the ones put forth by Jil Sander and Khaite ensure the metal’s not going away anytime soon.

Crystal Haze
Glittering finishes infuse glamour to just about anything. Imagine dazzling crystal baubles like the Chanel tie necklace or an embellished bag as the exclamation point to your night-out look.
