The Must-Have It Accessories for Fashion Enthusiasts in 2026

      New year, new you, as the saying goes. Regardless of whether you're into making resolutions or not, now could be the perfect time to organize your accessories. Although we’re looking ahead, many of the must-have accessories expected to trend in 2026 draw inspiration from the past, reflecting the cyclical nature of fashion. I’m particularly thinking of fur stoles and satin scarves, items that embodied the glamour of old Hollywood and are now re-emerging in the fashion scene. (Extra points if you pair them with a pillbox hat or brooch, which are also in vogue.) Tassel jewelry is predicted to become popular in the upcoming year as well. Think of statement earrings with fringes, long strings with tassel pendants, or wraparound beaded necklaces. Hopefully, tassel jewelry will revive a modern twist on Audrey Hepburn’s famous tassel earplugs from Breakfast at Tiffany's. Lastly, we have vibrant socks. Fashion enthusiasts have been experimenting with a variety of colors from the Pantone chart. Bright apple red is leading, but I’ve also seen pastel yellow, magenta, and vibrant blues among many others. They can be styled with jeans, layered over leggings, or worn with a miniskirt. As they're an accent piece, colorful socks are surprisingly adaptable.

      For our current favorite picks, keep reading. If these trendy accessories are any indicator, 2026 is set to be exciting in the fashion world.

      **Tassel Jewelry**

      Tassel jewelry has a festive charm to it. It also has a hint of rock ’n’ roll. Consider your evening jewelry needs fulfilled.

      **Satin Scarves**

      If I had to choose just one accessory for 2026, it would be the satin scarf. What’s great about them is the variety of ways you can wear them: tied around your neck, styled as a head scarf, or wrapped around your waist over a dress or pants. The outfit possibilities are endless.
