Innovation and futuristic fashion are the protagonists on the catwalks of the major brands.
Autumn is approaching and brings with it new and renewed trends, not only in fashion and beauty but also in accessories. Over the next few months a new look will be extended to face the change of season and also of year.
A futuristic look
Fashion understood as a way of experimenting and looking towards future realities continues to triumph. The growth of new technologies, the appearance of the metaverse and the transience of social networks have led to the rise of a futuristic style that we can already observe in different fashion brands.
Balmain – Balenciaga – Prada – Versace
As accessories, shade glasses embody the futuristic trend to perfection and manage to give a different touch to any look. Balenciaga, Emporio Armani or Prada have already opted for this particular accessory that brings back the retro-futurist aesthetic of the sixties and adapts it to modern times.
The most versatile accessory: ribbons
This autumn we will see a rise in preppy style – a mix of traditional and collegiate style – and the ballerina trend, not only in clothing but also in accessories. One of the big stars of the season will be the hair tie. This accessory, which can be found in a wide variety of shapes, styles and colours, brings sweetness and freshness to any look. It can be used as a scrunchie, as a headband with loose hair or as a clip to tie back your fringe.

Although this type of accessory will not only be present in one form, but we can also see it included in the clothing. Brands such as Valentino or Elisabetta Franchi have already customised dresses, skirts and belts with a lacing that adds volume and plays with optical illusions.

Leather and knitted gloves, the most chic accessory for autumn.
With the arrival of cold weather, gloves become an essential accessory. This season, in particular, we are seeing the arrival of elbow-length gloves, especially knitted or fur gloves, and even leather gloves. We can also see them in different shades, either in nude colours or in brighter and more eye-catching tones.

This accessory not only completes the look, but also protects you from the cold in a very elegant way. It can be combined with dresses, capes, coats, jackets… And it can be used as a functional element or as a complement, for example with tulle or fishnet gloves.
The maxi belt is back, a functional accessory.
Although the chain belts we have seen throughout the summer will continue to be present this winter, the absolute protagonist is going to be the maxi belt. On top of a jacket, a dress, a skirt or a shirt, this accessory has been seen on many of the catwalks of the big brands. Cinched at the waist or at the hips, with this accessory, more is more and the bigger the better.

Round top hats: the return of the formal look.
The hats are an infallible accessory for this autumn. Especially the round top hats that we have seen in collections such as Christian Dior or Gucci. These accessories allow you to play with sizes, prints and colours. Although, for the new season that is coming, it is best to go for tones that go with the season: beige, burgundy or warm yellows are a good choice.

Butterflies are taking centre stage on all kinds of accessories.
The butterfly trend has taken the Internet by storm and has moved onto the big fashion catwalks in recent collections. Something as simple as a print on a bag, a clip in the shape of this insect or a brooch with rhinestones can create a completely different style.

Butterflies can be part of an accessory such as a bag or a headband, or they can be the stars of the look: a top in the shape of a butterfly or a belt with a butterfly buckle. You can even design your manicure or make-up using small drawings of this insect.
