Anna Wintour Says These Will Be the Top 3 Accessory Trends of 2020

As we all know by now, if Anna Wintour says it's so, it's so. In the latest episode of Vogue's Go Ask Anna series, Wintour was asked to give her two cents on the biggest accessory trends of 2020, and of course, we were all ears. Although Wintour herself doesn't change up her own accessories much (she sticks to oversize sunglasses, statement necklaces, and classic handbags—if carrying a handbag at all), that doesn't mean she's not fully aware of what trends were all over the runways and will trickle to the mainstream in 2020.
In response to the 2020 accessory trends question, Wintour stated, "We're seeing a lot of linen and raffia fabrics that are very organic and natural, we're seeing a lot of very fantastical twisted pearl necklaces and then bucket bags. Bucket bags and more bucket bags, in leather, in canvas, in suede, in every possible fabric that you can think of." So there you have it. The queen of trend forecasting has spoken, and we're more excited for 2020 than ever.
Scroll on to shop the three accessory trends Wintour named before everyone else.
Shop Linen and Raffia Accessories
Whether in the form of bags, shoes, hats, or belts, raffia styles will provide a grounded touch to your 2020 looks. And luckily, many of these styles are on sale at the moment.
Shop Statement Pearl Necklaces
2020 will take 2019's pearl trend a step further, so feel free to swap your delicate pieces out for something bold and statement-making.
Shop Bucket Bags
It seems like every few years the bucket bag trend comes back with a vengeance. This time around, keep an eye out for structured styles with interesting details.
Next up, the eight biggest trends of 2020, according to Anna Wintour.
