Accessories play a fundamental role in providing an avenue for personal expression, allowing us to manifest a unique style. Therefore, choosing accessories is one of the most authentic forms of expression within the fashion industry.
They function as the finishing touches that complete and elevate an outfit, adding dimension and texture. Additionally, they play a key role in updating fashion trends, providing an easy and affordable way to keep up with the latest styles without needing to undertake a complete wardrobe overhaul.
This summer 2024, accessories regain all their splendor and promise to steal the spotlight from looks. This is going to happen primarily with scarves, an accessory that many associate with winter but that this season we are going to wear on our heads during the warmer days.
A style that we already saw in the 1920s, during the jazz era, when women adopted freer fashion styles and began wearing headscarves as the latest fashion accessory. These were part of the flappers’ outfits, being used as turbans or bandanas.
While in the 60s, with the hippie movement, its use became popular again, but this time associated with a more relaxed and bohemian lifestyle. More recently, we found them again at the beginning of the new millennium and now they are back. “Scarves this season are worn on the head and they are going to be all the rage” said celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe in a note for her website, The Rachel Zoe Report.
Maria Grazia Chiuri presented this accessory in one of her collections for Dior and now, They came down from the catwalk ready to conquer the street style. An ideal item to protect our hair from the sun and sea on the beach without sacrificing style, but we will also be able to use it for night looks.
Another item that returns in all its glory are the aros oversize. We saw them on the Valentino and Tom Ford catwalks, ready to conquer us. They can go with a simple outfit with jeans, as presented by the Italian brand, but also with a mini dress with sequins in the style of the American designer. In any case, this accessory that we already saw in the 2010s returns, and It will be one of the easiest accessories to completely renew an outfit..
Denim also prevails in the world of accessories. Brands like Chanel, Gucci and Louis Vuitton have already included it in their handbags and high-top boots. But jean also prevails in headbands as seen in the Miu Miu campaign, earrings and even belts: a textile that is going to invade us during the warmest days of the year.
Finally, hand in hand with the Y2K revival that we are experiencing, belts with XL buckles arrive., the same as the ones we used when the new millennium began. They go with jeans, skirts and even swimsuits if we want to take cool photos for social networks.
Whatever the form, we start 2024 with accessories as the protagonists, it is up to us how we are going to use them.
