5 Spring Accessories That Are Fashion-Insider Coded

Spring accessories

Lately, I’ve noticed some of the same pieces popping up in the wardrobes of fashion’s coolest insiders. A small set of specific accessories have been showing up in outfits everywhere—traveling to runway shows at fashion month, at fashion dinners in New York, at the Who What Wear office, on my Instagram feed, in Substack newsletters… Some pieces are the big anticipated designer drops just arriving for the new season, while others are niche “if you know you know” finds from rising brands.

The one thing they have in common? Everyone wearing them has great style and a covetable wardrobe. If you’re in the market for some fresh new-season buys, these are pieces to snap up. They are beloved by editors, stylists, and fashion people with discerning taste. Ahead, the spring accessories to add to your cart for a wardrobe that is fashion-insider coded and very in the know.

Polo Ralph Lauren has entered coveted territory in fashion insider wardrobes on a number of fronts. The top piece everyone is adding to their closets right now, though, is the brand’s metal accent leather belt inspired by the American West. It’s set on a narrow leather strap and finished with intricately engraved silver-tone accents. Pair it with trousers or jeans, or slung over a maxi dress.

Suddenly, the streets of New York have become flooded with jewelry by Juju Vera. Artisinal earrings and cuff bracelets are among the beautiful designs by its founder, Julia Ferentino, but it is the Petra pendant that keeps selling out and accessorizing the outfits of the best-dressed people in every room.
