Under-$100 Accessory Trends Taking Over Instagram
Instagram likes to woo us with a lot of pretty things—idyllic travel destinations, mouthwatering plates of pasta, and our personal favorite, endless fashion inspiration. In particular, those eye-catching "details" that stop us in our swiping tracks. We're talking accessories. And there are seriously many chic ones to be had right now. But what exactly are the accessory trends dominating our feeds as the sunny season transitions into fall? From animal-print pieces to statement earrings, we looked to some of our favorite fashion girls to see what pieces they can't get enough of. The best part? You can score these accessory trends for under $100. (Leaving you with a little extra cash for that end-of-summer getaway you've been dreaming of.) Scroll below to finish off your look with these cool-girl accoutrements.
Western-Style Boots
If there's one shoe dominating our Instagram feeds right now, it's Western-style cowboy boots. They have been making an appearance since the start of summer and are set to be huge for fall.
Statement Earrings
The bigger the better when it comes to earrings right now. Glitzy chandelier earrings were seen all over the F/W 18 runways, as well as striking mismatched earrings, single earrings, and sculptural danglers. Luckily there are some great ones on the market right now for under $100.
Hands-Free Bags
The belt bag trend shows no signs of slowing down. And the Insta set can't get enough of the laid-back, hands-free, and carefree look.
Animal-Print Everything
You can't look at Instagram without seeing an animal print popping up in your feed. Whether it's leopard print, faux snakeskin, or a zebra print, it's time to take on the trend with your accessories. Wear a belt, a pair of shoes, a bag, or a pair of sunglasses to add an edgy touch to your outfit.
Chunky Sneakers
Love them or hate them, chunky sneakers are sticking around for the new season. Fashion girls love styling them with romantic dresses to offset the new-age look.
Cat-Eye Sunglasses
Whether you like them small and thin or large and pointy, cat-eye sunglasses continue to blow up our Instagram feeds. Fashion girls agree that they're here to stay.
Statement Hair Accessories
Looking to add that something special to your look at an affordable price? A chic hair accessory will hit the spot. From jeweled hair slides to silk scarves and thick hairbands, hair accessories in all shapes and sizes are gaining momentum and will be everywhere this fall.
Barely There Sandals
Barely there sandals have reached cult status. A minimalist's dream, they work with everything in your wardrobe from city shorts to dresses, jeans, and midi skirts. Wear these covetable sandals while it's still 80 degrees out.
High Shine
Patent leather will take you from summer to fall in style. Our favorite fashion muses have already started to wear the trend in the form of cool ankle boots and mules. High-shine purses are also a must for the new season.
