The Trend List: Fall 2020

Whether you’re eagerly awaiting cooler temperatures and pumpkin everything, or still hanging on to summer with all your might – fall is inevitably upon us. And, with the change of seasons comes an opportunity to refresh our accessory repertoires, something that we certainly love to do here at Charming Charlie.

To help you ease into the new season with flair, we’ve rounded up the top accessory trends of the moment. We hope it leaves you as excited for fall as we are, and inspired with new ways to switch up your look.

 1. Mask-cessorizing

We couldn’t kick off our Fall 2020 list without a nod to the newest accessory in all of our closets. While their primary function is to keep us safe, the CC team is enjoying having a new item to add to our ensembles, and we’ve been stocking up on masks in all colors and patterns to make the practice a bit more fun (and how great is our snake skin mask)?!

2. Chunky Chains

From necklaces, to bracelets, to watches, we love how chain link jewelry can give any outfit a sophisticated edge. Check out one of our favorites below from CC’s collaboration with Tess+Tricia.

3. Padded Headbands

Previously reserved for little girls under the age of 7, headbands are having a major moment that women can pull off at any age and stage. Try one out with a simple top and jeans to elevate a casual look, or wear one on your next date night for a dash of sweet femininity.

4. Slouchy Clutches

The slouchy clutch is an unexpected way to elevate your look. Pro tip: pair it with a matching pair of knee-high boots, or with a trench as pictured below.

5. Mismatched Studs

We just love the dainty stud earring trend - and what better way to regularly switch up your studs by swapping them out for a mismatched mate. The juxtaposition of geometric shapes and symbols is such a fun and easy way to bring a little playfulness to your outfit.

6. Berets

The most chic way to keep those ears warm as the temperature drops: the classic beret. We love them in black, or in warm fall tones like burgundy or cognac.

7. Retro Shades

Oversized, 70’s-era frames are in - and a perfect complement to your fall wardrobe, as seen on @manda.sandoval via our Instagram (give us a follow if you haven’t already)!

8. Dangling Gemstones

Many of us are experiencing a certain monotony with our outfits during this pandemic. While we definitely enjoy the perks of the ‘yoga pants on the bottom, business on the top’ look that Zoom meetings allow, we do miss that feeling of getting spruced up. What better way to add a little sparkle to your day (and Zoom calls) than some dangling gemstones!

 9. Updated Pearls

Pearls have made a major comeback in recent months, but it’s not your grandmother’s pearls that have been making a splash. Oversized, non-symmetrical pearls are everywhere now, and we’re loving the new twist on this classic jewel.

 10. Classic Brown Satchels

 A sleek brown satchel never goes out of style - and our CC team has the perfect piece in mind to go with all your best fall looks.
