If, like me, your day-to-day style errs on the simpler side, at some point or another you’ve probably wondered whether you’re accidentally venturing too close to the world of dressing boring. I get it. In fact, I’m sure that to some my outfits do appear less-than-interesting at times, but one thing I’ve found that always helps make my arsenal of basics and neutrals feel a little more exciting is the addition of cool bags and shoes.
Enter: the latest pieces from our Who What Wear line of accessories, all of which are not only eye-catching and on-trend but are also on the relatively more affordable side, too. In short, whether you opt for one piece or can't help but snag a few, they're all you need to turn your go-to look from simple to, well, simple-but-cool. To see and shop my not-so-little edit of favorites for yourself, including pieces that work for summer, fall, and both, just keep scrolling.
