I’ve included everything from break-the-bank investment pieces to more affordable finds so that you can tap into each of these of-the-moment accessories trends at any budget.

Skip: Delicate jewelry
Wear: Chunky jewelry
While dainty, barely there necklaces and earrings have long been jewelry staples, they're now being replaced by sturdier designs. Chunkier, more industrial styles are gaining traction. Look for pieces with oversize chains and sculptural pendant details.
Shop the trend:
Skip: Neon heels
Wear: Hot pink heels
Neon heels in shades like electric yellow and orange were almost impossible to escape last year, but now the shades are on the decline. Instead, hot pink is taking over as the must-own bold heel color.
Shop the trend:
Skip: Belt bags
Wear: Big bags
Have you heard the news? Big bags are in for fall in a major way. With their size alone, they are the ultimate statement piece for the season ahead. Feel free to ditch your belt bags and opt for big bags instead.
Shop the trend:
Skip: Chunky sneakers
Wear: Retro sneakers
Over the last few seasons, chunky sneakers have dominated the street style scene, but now fashion insiders are retiring their full-volume sneakers for sleeker styles with retro lines. Yep, throwback silhouettes are coming back and they are the one sneaker trend you should be investing in now.
Shop the trend:
Skip: Western boots
Wear: Square-toe boots
Western boots pretty much defined 2018, but come fall 2019, they'll be replaced by a new It style. Square-toe boots are the most talked-about silhouette of the season, and you'll be sure to find them in every fashion insider's closet in a few months.
