Season after season, jeans are an indisputable constant. What fluctuates is what people wear them with. And who do we all look to for styling inspiration? Chic celebrities are a major source of that. Chic celebrities such as Naomi Watts—who was recently spotted in downtown NYC wearing jeans with a few buzzy accessory trends that pair perfectly with denim.

As we close out 2026, well-dressed women have been reaching for high-impact yet elegant accessories that'll elevate their jeans with ease. The three trends Watts chose to pair with her denim-and-blazer outfit were a fabric corsage brooch, a French-girl silk scarf knotted at her neck, and a Western plaque belt, which feels sleeker and more modern than Western belts of recent seasons. You can wear these accessory trends separately or all together, as Watts did. Either way, you'll have nailed the late-2026-chic-dresser look.

Patrick Ta is more than a celebrity makeup artist. Sure, he has a string of high-profile clients, including Gigi Hadid, Adriana Lima, and Priyanka Chopra, but he also has a combined social media following of 6.7 million people and helms his eponymous beauty brand, Patrick Ta Beauty, which is known for its red-carpet-worthy, internet-viral makeup products. The Major Headlines Double Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo ($40)! The Major Glow Balm ($50)! The Major Dimension Eye Illusion Eyeshadow Duo ($42)! I could go on. The point is, he has some serious expertise. I've been lucky enough to witness his finesse firsthand during multiple makeup masterclasses.

IMO, no one is better positioned to predict the next big thing in beauty. That, dear reader, is exactly what I asked him to do, specifically for winter 2027. Call it preparation or impatience, but I want to get ahead of the most relevant and stylish New Year aesthetics. Ahead, see the three biggest makeup trends set to define the upcoming season. Plus, learn the IG and TikTok trends worth trying, and just as importantly, the one to skip. Last but certainly not least, see his #1 piece of makeup advice (hint: it has to do with placement, rather than products).

Celebrity Makeup Artist Patrick Ta

Trend #1: Intentional Sculpting

Heavy contour is out, and a "soft, seamless" sculpt is in. Ta says the latter feels fresh, modern, and natural. "I love using light and shadow to enhance your natural features rather than relying on heavy contour," he says. "It's about creating soft, seamless definition using brightening concealer and contour in targeted areas of the face. You can create such a beautiful sculpted look without ever seeing a harsh line."

In other words, don't rely on one contour stick to carve out your natural features. The trick is to use light and dark, AKA a concealer and a contour product. "I love pairing my Major Skin Soft Blur Brightening Concealer ($34) with the Major Sculpt Shape & Shade Anywhere Artistry Sticks ($34). I use the concealer to brighten and bring dimension to the face, almost like reverse contouring, and then add definition with the Artistry Sticks. The cream-to-powder texture is so easy to blend and gives you that beautiful, soft finish." Ta even uses the contour sticks on the eyes for a monochromatic look (but more on that in a minute).

"It's amazing how much you can transform a makeup look just by being strategic with where you place light and shadow," he says. "The result is still really sculpted and glamorous, but everything feels soft and seamless."

Trend #2: Monochromatic Makeup

If you want your makeup to look cool, modern, and relevant in winter 2027, Ta recommends embracing a monochromatic aesthetic, AKA using the same (or similar) shades all over the face. "I love when the cheeks, eyes, and lips all feel connected," he says. "For winter, I'm especially drawn to warm gingerbread tones, burgundy, and soft rosy shades. Using similar tones throughout the face creates a really beautiful, cohesive look, and you can play with different textures to keep it interesting."

He recommends reaching for the Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo ($40). "[It's] one of my favorite products for creating a cohesive look. I love connecting the tones on the cheeks with the eyes and lips, and layering the cream and powder gives you so much control over the finish. For winter, I'm especially loving our limited-edition Something Spicy shade. It's this gorgeous warm, gingerbread color that gives you that just-out-of-the-cold flush."

Trend #3: Barely-There Blush

This one might come as a shock. For the last couple of years, the internet has been fixated on bold blush à la Sabrina Carpenter. "Blush blindness," as the internet colloquially coined it, made its way into TikTok tutorials, editorial spreads, and even onto designer runways. In winter 2027, though, expect soft, subtle, "barely-there" blush to feel the most stylish and relevant.

"I'm loving a softer approach to blush this winter, reaching for more muted shades like dusty pinks, soft roses, and subtle nudes," Ta says. "It's less about making blush the statement and more about adding a soft wash of color that brings life to the face. I love when the blush looks diffused and melts into the skin, giving you that beautiful, barely-there flush." This was a major NYFW beauty trend. Makeup artists chose subtle, earthy tones (specifically cinnamon-tinted shades) for models, rather than loud pinks and reds.

"My Major Headlines Transition Blurring Under-Eye Blush Duo ($30) is perfect for creating this look, Ta says. The genius product is a blurring blush topper. It's designed to be used as a finishing touch, seamlessly transitioning blush and under-eye concealer for a flawless, red-carpet finish. He also recommends the Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo & Lip Balm in Something Sweet ($52). "I love how these softer shades melt into the skin and create a seamless transition between the under-eye and cheeks, giving the face a naturally flushed, softly blurred finish without looking like you're wearing a lot of blush."

The TikTok Trend Worth Trying

There's no shortage of TikTok-viral makeup trends. Some are old-school, makeup-artist-approved tricks, and others are...well, less advised. "I love seeing how creative people get with makeup on TikTok," Ta says. "One technique I absolutely stand behind is letting your concealer sit on the skin before blending it out. It's actually something I've been doing for years as a makeup artist."

Letting concealer sit for a moment, rather than blending it out immediately, allows it to dry down and provide better coverage. "I'll let it sit for just a moment when I want lighter coverage, or up to a minute when I want a little more," Ta says. "It helps you build coverage without having to layer on a ton of product, and it's one of my favorite ways to get that beautiful, seamless finish." The more you know!

TikTok Makeup Trends to Skip

As for a TikTok makeup trend that Ta suggests skipping? That's easy. "I've seen people using lubricant gel as a makeup primer, and that's definitely not something I'd personally try. I'm a huge believer in skin prep, and I always recommend using products that are actually formulated to prep and hydrate the skin. You want to create the best possible base for your makeup while taking care of your skin."

His #1 Piece of Makeup Advice

It's not every day that you can peer behind the curtain, so to speak, and learn insider secrets from a celebrity makeup artist. So, I thought I'd cut right to the chase and ask Ta for his #1 piece of makeup advice. "My biggest piece of advice is to really pay attention to placement," he says. "I've learned that where you apply a product can make just as much of a difference as the product itself. Something as simple as placing your blush a little higher on the cheeks, brightening certain areas with concealer, or adding a touch of definition around the eyes can completely change the way your makeup looks."

He recommends applying makeup slowly, in light layers, and building as you go. "It's so much easier to add than take away. And most importantly, take the time to figure out what works for your own features rather than feeling like you have to follow every trend."

Every few years, a few pieces I thought would never go out of style start to feel a little dull. Nothing is wrong with them. They’ve just been everywhere for so long that my eye starts drifting toward something new, and that’s exactly where I am heading into 2027. I’ve been doing a massive cleanout dedicating each free weekend I have to a specific drawer or area of my apartment, I recently hit my basics and learned quickly what has to go.

Don’t panic, you don’t need to get rid of everything.. I’m keeping my crewnecks and black heels. I’m just pausing on buying more of them and putting that budget toward the swaps that feel fresh right now. Keep scrolling for the five staples I’m skipping next year and what I’m reaching for instead.

Skip: Deep V Tees

Buy: Micro V Tees

The deep V had a long, happy run as the go-to layering tee, and I still own more than I’d like to admit. Lately, though, the necklines I keep spotting on the chicest people I know have crept way up, and I’m following their lead. The micro V is all over celebrity street style and a modern way to complete a look.

Skip: Black Heels at Night

Buy: Minimalist Flats

Black heels will always be a safe bet for dinner, and mine aren’t going anywhere. But at every cool fashion event this fall, the coolest people in the room showed up in flats, and it looked so much more fun. The minimalist flat is thriving right now and your feet will thank you at midnight.

Skip: Crewneck Tees

Buy: Boatneck Tees

I’ll never fully quit the crewneck tee, and I’m not asking you to. I’ve just stocked up on enough of them to last a lifetime, so my shopping budget is heading somewhere a little more unexpected. The wide, collarbone-skimming neckline of a boatneck tee has a breezy, slightly French ease that works from coffee runs to dinner with friends. It makes your favorite skirt feel all dressed up again.

Skip: Barrel Leg Jeans

Buy: Flare Jeans

Barrel leg jeans were the cool-girl denim of the past couple of years, and I wore mine on repeat. They’re still fun, but the curved silhouette is starting to feel very of the moment, and I’m craving a shape with drama in the other direction. Flares bring a little ’70s swagger to the weekend, so they’re my preferred look of the moment.

Skip: Teddy Coats

Buy: Fur Trim Coats

My teddy coat has kept me cozy through more winters than I can count, so this isn’t goodbye forever. It just feels like everyone owns one now, and I’m ready for outerwear that feels more dressed up. Is there anything more glamorous than a fur trim collar on a snowy night out? This is the coat for holiday parties and late dinners uptown, the kind of piece that makes even jeans and a sweater feel like an occasion.

Holiday dressing doesn't have to involve sequins or anything remotely flashy to make an impression. In fact, some of the chicest outfits for the festive season are also the most understated. Think beautiful fabrics, sophisticated silhouettes, and unexpected styling combinations that feel festive without trying too hard. It's a more refined approach to holiday dressing, and one that proves you don't need loads of sparkle to look incredibly chic.

This season, it's all about leaning into pieces that feel elevated but still effortless. Satin trousers, elegant knitwear, sleek maxi skirts, and tailored separates are just a few of the items worth incorporating into your holiday rotation. Rich shades of burgundy, chocolate brown, and classic black add to the sophisticated feel, while details like delicate lace, sculptural jewelry, and a great pair of heels provide just the right amount of interest. The beauty of these combinations is that they feel appropriate for the holidays without being limited to December.

Ahead, discover eight understated holiday outfits that strike the perfect balance between festive and effortlessly cool. Whether you're heading to an intimate dinner party, a holiday gathering with friends, or a more formal celebration, these looks offer plenty of inspiration for getting dressed this season. And unlike that sequin dress you might only wear once, these are outfits you'll find yourself reaching for well beyond the holidays.

Rhetorical question: Wouldn't it be nice to go into the holiday season with a head start on your gift shopping? The answer is yes. Thanksgiving (and therefore Black Friday) is around the corner, and once that hits, it's going to be a frenzy. The best gifts will start getting picked over, and shipping delays are inevitable. So here's my first gift guide of the year, and it's a good one, because it's filled entirely with things I actually own (and love), and strongly believe would make excellent gifts. This is an instance in which the fact that I'm picky is a good thing.

Among my recommendations are the perfect faux-fur coat, the new luxury It candle, the carry-on luggage that's as functional as it is chic, along with a variety of other highly giftable items. So, hold the gift cards and scroll on to shop my inaugural 2026 gift guide, filled with tried-and-true gems.

Every new season brings trends along with it, and right now some of the biggest ones include taffeta pants, fur-trimmed coats, evening jackets, and the color purple. While we're in the middle of fall 2026, winter trends are also starting to come out across retailers, especially with all of the holiday collections. For example, I've been seeing more pinks, velvet, and animal print.

As a minimalist dresser, I'm loving unstated trends that feel more like staples like boatneck tops, zip-up cardigans, scarf coats, high-vamp shoes, and pointed-toe kitten heels, and I tend to embrace more fleeting trends through smaller purchases (typically accessories) like colorful tights.

I've curated a list of these and more current trends, all of which I found at Reformation. In particular, there's one item from the retailer that I've seen on several of my colleagues, including editorial director Lauren Eggertsen: the best-selling, under-$200 Olina Cropped Pant. Ahead, shop every trend in one place in alphabetical order—from argyle to pleated skirts.

Take it from Jennifer Lawrence: this season, the chicest dressers are looking beyond leather coats in favour of something, dare I say, even more elevated: satin. With its subtle sheen and glossy finish, a satin coat is one of the most sophisticated layers to consider for the months ahead.

Still relatively fresh on the scene, the lightweight jacket trend has come to the fore alongside the rising popularity of opera coats and housecoats, tapping into a wider shift towards more decadent dressing this winter.

Choosing a satin style in the brightest shade of cream, Jennifer introduced an entirely new level of luxuriousness to her outfit. Worn over white trousers and paired with fur-trimmed flip-flops, her coat brought polish, whilst her covetable tassel-trimmed scarf swept around her neck added another considered detail.

Of course, longline leather coats will always have their place in an elegant evening wardrobe, but this season's satin alternatives offer a different kind of appeal. Lighter and more fluid, they work beautifully over dresses, maintaining a streamlined silhouette while adding a luxurious finish. Equally, I love the idea of wearing one with jeans and a simple T-shirt for a more relaxed take on elevated everyday dressing.

If there's one new-season outerwear trend I'd recommend considering, it's the satin coat. Read on to shop the most sophisticated styles below.

Like many of us, Sandy Koszarek is planning her winter wardrobe as we head deeper into November. For the former VIP Nordstrom stylist (and Stylish Sandy founder), versatility remains essential—easy-to-style pieces that worked for her clients are just as crucial in her own closet.

There are seven trends Koszarek is prioritizing to style regularly with her outfits. Below, you'll find the boot shapes that matter, the best outerwear silhouettes, the denim cut du jour, and more. Per usual, there's also visual and shopping inspiration throughout. Fun fact, you're even going to see some early Black Friday deals!

Keep scrolling for Koszarek's full winter fashion breakdown.

Cashmere Sweaters

"I love wearing cashmere sweaters in the winter! I usually stick with neutrals and chocolate brown, but I'm adding a little purple this year, too. I'm especially loving brushed cashmere for its beautiful texture and the way it adds a little something extra to an outfit, whether I'm wearing it with jeans, trousers, or a slip skirt."

Flat and Kitten-Heel Boots

"I'm looking forward to wearing flat and kitten-heel booties this winter. Both styles are so chic with jeans and trousers, and I especially love how a kitten heel adds a little height while still being comfortable."

Tie-Front Pants

"I'm wearing relaxed drawstring pants this winter! They're comfortable but still look chic, and they're so easy to dress up or down. I can wear them during the day and easily transition them to dinner out."

Faux-Fur Accents

"I love adding a little faux fur to my winter wardrobe, especially coats with faux-fur collars! The texture adds just the right amount of drama and instantly elevates even jeans and a sweater."

Tailored and Wrap Coats

"I always reach for tailored wool coats in the winter. There's something about a beautifully tailored coat that instantly makes even jeans and a sweater look chic."

Printed and Colorful Scarves

"I'm loving all the scarves I'm seeing this season! They're such an easy way to add a little color and interest to an outfit. I'll be wearing them with everything from sweaters and jeans to wool coats and jackets this winter."

Straight-Leg Jeans

"I'm excited to wear relaxed straight-leg jeans this winter! They have that casual, cool look I love. I'll be wearing mine with boots and a sweater. It's such an easy combination that always looks chic."

If you're considering adding a new pair of shoes to your winter rotation, I'd love to put forward an alternative to ankle boots this time around. Inspiring my argument, I spotted Amal Clooney stepping out this week, swapping the usual ankle-boot pairing for much more elegant over-the-knee boots worn with tights and a minidress.

Creating one sleek, uninterrupted line from thigh to toe, Amal's combination brought cohesion to her outfit, whilst making her bright white minidress feel genuinely winter-ready. Meanwhile, the extended silhouette of the boots added extra coverage without compromising on the elegance of a shorter hemline.

I know many of us naturally default to ankle boots once winter arrives, but I really don't see why we should limit ourselves. Over-the-knee boots offer a chic way to extend some of our favourite warm-weather pieces into the colder months. Paired with opaque tights, they provide an extra layer of warmth while making miniskirts and shorter dresses feel much more seasonally appropriate.

Timeless, elegant and surprisingly easy to emulate, Amal's outfit has me reconsidering my usual winter footwear. Read on to shop the over-the-knee boots I'd recommend below.

Shop Over-the-Knee Boots:

Impeccable taste never dates. It’s the reason why Elsa Peretti’s incredible office set-up in her serene Manhattan apartment is still as covetable now as it was then. Or how Bottega Veneta’s earliest designs still resonate, six decades after they were first issued. Even Dior’s enchanting Junon dress, which has just been immortalised in the French Maison’s whimsically animated holiday campaign, strikes a chord close to a century later. To me, however, the most perfect examples of this adage can be found in the winter fashion trends seen on stylish over-50s. So, when my mum asked me what chic women of a certain age are wearing this season, that's exactly what

From Isabelle Huppert in The Piano Teacher to Lauren Hutton in American Gigolo, this cohort of incredibly dressed women constantly piques my interest when it comes to showcasing masterful layering in frigid temperatures. Flexing their ability to swan around in lavish cashmere coats and sumptuous knitwear with discernment, this group of savants always proves the power of a sturdy investment. Buying well and with intention will reap dividends when the pieces you own only get better with age.

And whilst that’s not to say that stylish women over 50s never purchase anything new, it’s more a matter of being strategic with the items they do opt into. And after all, given how viciously repetitive the trend cycle can be, the majority of the most popular pieces have already circulated through their wardrobes: ladylike jackets that skim the torso, stirrup leggings that evoke the sensation of jodhpurs, kaleidoscopic prints reminiscent of the Memphis Group.

So, whether you’re in desperate need of inspiration when getting dressed on frostbitten mornings or are just searching for a more timeless approach to styling your thermal basics, scroll through to see the 5 key winter fashion trends endorsed by fashionable over-50s.

5 Chic Winter 2026 Fashion Trends for Over 50s

1. Opera Coats

Style Notes: As a solemn, grey gloom hangs over our evenings and weekends, inject a bit of drama into your outerwear rotation through the opera dressing trend. Though torque necklaces and cummerbunds make up this theatrical universe, it’s the opera coat itself that serves as the trend’s pièce de résistance. Pioneered by Conner Ives and his gaggle of swans that swear by his demi-couture iterations—Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Kate Moss, Lila Moss, you get the gist—this trend is lavish, opulent and exceptionally worthy of every compliment bound to come your way.

2. Gold Flourishes

Style Notes: Not all that glitters is gold, but this trend certainly does. A once maligned colour reminiscent of chintzy Christmas decorations and cheap, knock-off statuettes handed out at end-of-year work parties, the gold colour trend has quickly become the most ornate hue one could wear this winter. Anthony Vaccerello’s final collection as creative director for Saint Laurent is primarily to blame for this, as is his recent CFDA Awards appearance, which saw him dress Zoë Kravitz, Hailey Bieber, Rosé and Anja Rubik in the shade. But he’s not alone in adopting the Midas touch. As Pamela Anderson demonstrates here, the metallic hue adds a lustrous sheen to anything that’s layered underneath, even if this includes a polished turtleneck and knee-length skirt. (More on that later.)

3. Dresses Over Trousers

Style Notes: What goes around comes around. And whilst the dress-over-trouser trend might remind you of teen idols in the 2000s, Tracee Ellis Ross is showcasing how the divisive styling technique can actually look quite sophisticated. The top line? Ditch the denim in favour of a fluid pair of satin trousers and balance out the top half of the dress with some oversized tailoring. There’s nothing Disney Channel starlet about this look. And as we head towards the upcoming party season, I can’t think of a silhouette that I’d want to wear more than this.

4. Knee-Length Skirts

Style Notes: When Kylie Minogue sang “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head” during her surprise performance at Chanel’s after-party for their replica Cruise 2026/27 collection in Sydney, she might’ve been referencing this lush knee-length skirt that she wore to the show. Fashion, for that matter, hasn’t been able to get this silhouette out of their minds either, cropping up at collections for Calvin Klein, Jil Sander, Tory Burch, Toteme and more. And when paired with this cosy cardigan and trend-forward two-toned shoes, the simple pencil shape becomes something far more elegant.

5. Peplum Jackets

Style Notes: Naomi Watts might’ve played Babe Paley, the former New York City socialite and fashion editor, in Ryan Murphy’s Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, but it’s clear the Upper East Side sensibilities are still rubbing off on her. Architectural yet graceful, the peplum jacket is one of the biggest winter trends of late. Cinching at the waist but protruding at the shoulders, it pairs well with straight-leg jeans and leather trousers. Just add a heel and your favourite top-handle bag, et voilà.

A great jacket can make an outfit, but one that gives you two entirely different looks? Even better. Reversible jackets are having a moment, and it’s easy to see why this once popular trend is back for winter 2026. Combining practicality with plenty of styling potential, these clever designs offer twice the versatility without taking up any extra wardrobe space. And, as we start thinking about the outerwear pieces we'll be reaching for most over the coming months, they feel like a particularly worthwhile investment.

Far from being purely functional, today's reversible jackets are every bit as style conscious as their single-sided counterparts. Think cosy shearling-inspired styles that offer two contrasting textures, quilted designs with a different colourway on either side, and chic, understated silhouettes that make everyday dressing feel a little more exciting. Whether you prefer a timeless neutral palette, something with a little more colour or a statement piece that does the talking for you, there are plenty of options to choose from.

Of course, finding a reversible jacket that looks just as good on both sides is key. That's why we've searched high and low to find the styles that deliver on both fronts, balancing quality, wearability and great design. From affordable high-street finds to more premium investments, keep scrolling for our edit of the best reversible jackets to shop in 2026. Consider your this your coat wardrobe sorted.

Short hair trends often feel synonymous with the summer months, when many of us choose to shed longer lengths in favour of something lighter and more low-maintenance. This year, though, it seems we’re mixing things up. According to hairstylists, the most stylish women will be stepping into the salon and requesting chic short cuts into the winter months, proving the best short-hair trends are definitely here to stay.

I spoke with Neale Rodger, style director at STIL Salon, to find out which short styles he predicts we’ll be asking for in winter 2026. If you're refreshing your short style for winter, save this for inspo.

6 Biggest Short-Hair Trends for Winter 2026

1.The '90s Bob

First up, Rodger says the bob is here to stay, but this winter we’re looking backwards for inspo. "The '90s-inspired bob has been proving popular in the salon and will continue to be a key bob trend for winter, as it’s such a no-fuss cut," he says. "Ask your stylist to keep things as natural as possible, as its appeal comes from how effortless and low-maintenance it is. Natural shape, no blowdry, no fuss—it’s the ultimate easy hair as we head into winter."

2. The Parisian Pixie

For those who want to go even shorter, the pixie has had a chic Parisian-style update. "Pixies were everywhere at Paris Fashion Week and are proving to be a short haircut to watch as we head into winter," Rodger tells me. "This cut feels like a natural progression from the shorter bobs we’ve seen this year, and it’s great how versatile they can be. For super-short haircuts, I always look at the client’s texture, density and growth patterns. A good pixie should feel like it belongs to you."

Get the Look:

3. The "Lugg"

France isn’t the only country inspiring short-hair trends this season. "The 'Lugg' (the Swedish word for fringe) is proving a popular 'hair accessory' to add to shorter hairstyles," says Rodger. "It creates an amazing detail around the face. The key with this cut is not to make it too wide; it should feel like a small, interesting detail rather than a full, statement fringe."

Get the Look:

4. The French Bob

Proof that French women really do it best? "The French bob is set to stay for winter," says Rodger. "It's a short style that feels both polished and carefree, and what's great about this cut is that the shorter length brings lots of attention to the eyes, cheekbones and jawline. It’s also pretty low-maintenance day-to-day, but the shape will require regular trims."

Get the Look:

5. Vintage Layers

"We're also seeing a return to softer, more voluminous shorter cuts for winter, created with lots of vintage-inspired layers," says Rodger. "They're a great example of how movement and shape can completely transform a traditional bob."

Get the Look:

6. The "Swoopy" Bob

This hair trend builds upon the layers Rodger mentioned earlier and transforms them into a soft, swooping bob. "Ask your stylist to add lots of face-framing, swooping layers, plenty of lift through the front and crown and softened-out ends," he advises. "Adding a side part can instantly create the impression of more volume, too."

Of all the seasons, winter is by far my favourite for fashion. I just find it so much easier to look polished and put-together throughout the colder months. And whilst I’ll never deny the power of a good wool coat and a pair of knee-high boots, I firmly believe the chicest outfits rely on accessories to take them from basic to elevated. And they come in especially handy for minimalists like me, who prefer to keep the base of our outfits simple but still want to look on-trend. So for winter 2026, I decided to hunt for the coolest hats, scarves, gloves and more to add to my seasonal capsule wardrobe.

My first port of call? The runways, of course! Between hours spent scrolling through the lookbooks of my favourite luxury brands, as well as talking to my fellow editors who attended fashion month earlier this year, it soon became clear that the smaller details are really doing the heavy lifting when it comes to curating elegant outfits this season. And whether you’re a maximalist or more of a pared-back dresser like me, certain accessories just make outfits look considered without feeling too try-hard.

From theatrical opera gloves that are sure to make a statement to fuzzy faux-fur scarves that perfectly toe the line between cosy and chic, keep scrolling to discover the six accessory trends I’m investing in this winter.

6 Runway-Approved Accessory Trends to Wear From Now Until Next Spring

1. Opera Gloves

Style Notes: From floral embroidered coats to velvety fringe pouches, the opulent opera aesthetic has taken over winter 2026, and the most compelling accessory by far is the extra-long gloves that add instant polish to any outfit. There’s just something about the longer silhouette that looks inherently sophisticated (I mean, just look at Boss, Michael Kors, Uma Wang and Paul Costelloe, above) but also manages to feel both elevated and well within my comfort zone. Not to mention they’ll keep you extra cosy on those chillier winter days.

2. Statement Brooches

Style Notes: Once solely regarded as an evening accessory, statement brooches have re-emerged as what might be the hardest-working addition to your capsule wardrobe this winter. They allow you to keep the rest of your clothes simple whilst quietly elevating the look. Of course, they were spotted on the runways of luxury fashion houses, including Giorgio Armani, Bottega Veneta, LaQuan Smith and Litkovska; however, a brooch looks expensive at any price point.

3. Colour-Pop Tights

Style Notes: I live in my black tights all winter, but the runways have spoken: colour-pop pairs are the It-girl accessory of 2026. The likes of Hermès, Rabanne, Zankov and Julie Kegels all proved that the effect of adding an intentional flash of colour to an otherwise neutral outfit is undeniable, and you’ll be pleased to know they're as wearable as they are bold. My tip? Opt for the season's trending colours: cobalt blue, royal purple and burgundy.

4. Faux-Fur Scarves

Style Notes: I’m well aware that faux-fur scarves are in no way a new trend, but after a few years of being deemed "dated", they’ve officially made their way back into the fashion zeitgeist for winter 2026. From Magda Butrym and Zimmermann to Gabriela Hearst and CFCL, cosy faux-fur scarves adorned the runways in a wide range of shades, from neutral, go-with-everything tones to bolder pops of colour. I, for one, cannot wait to get this expensive-looking accessory around my neck this season.

5. "Fashion" Hats

Style Notes: I’ve never considered myself a hat person, always finding that they feel a bit too out-there for a minimalist like me. However, after spotting a range of different "fashion" hats from Bottega Veneta, Michael Kors, Tolu Coker and Balenciaga, I’m very tempted to have some fun and give this trend a try.

6. Mock-Croc Belts

Style Notes: Every wardrobe needs a goes-with-everything belt; however, if you're getting bored with your classic smooth leather iteration, then why not opt for a croc-effect finish to add some texture to your winter outfits? Not only do they look expensive at literally any price point, but they will act as a nice point of difference from your typical waist-cincher. Chanel, Elie Saab, Lanvin and Luisa Spagnoli prove you can opt for any colour, pattern or thickness of your choosing.

It's officially time to break out my faux-fur accessories. By that, I mean my Apparis Pillbox Hat. I picked it up last winter, and I've been looking forward to styling it all year. Now, I'm looking for a faux-fur coat or leather jacket to go with it. Cue Revolve's new arrivals.

Sticking to a strict budget of $300, I've rounded up only the richest and chicest faux-fur, leather, and suede pieces. Think under $150 high-collar leather jackets, It girl-coded croc-embossed skirts, fur-trimmed gloves, and adorable suede matching sets.
