Winter accessories

Winter is here, and it’s the perfect season to layer your fashion look with accessories. From a forever leather handbag to stylish sunglasses, and the best belts, our style director Louise Hilsz has rounded up what’s on trend this season, using our editor as her muse.

Editor Trudi Brewer wears Gucci sunglasses from Sunglass Bar, pearl earrings from Charlotte Penman, leather bag from Vestirsi and leather belt from Gucci.


Sunglasses

Just as essential in winter months as they are in high summer. From greenstone to softer tones that are kind on a pale winter skin tone, there is plenty of choice amongst luxury eyewear brands.

Our top tip: invest in the best, you only have one set of eyes.

Isabel Marant 0002 sunglasses, $465. Chloe 0024 sunglasses, $845. Bottega Veneta 1004 sunglasses, $695. Louis Vuitton Cyclone sunglasses, $1310.


Jewellery

When it comes to adorning yourself in gold, yellow is having a moment right now. Studded with pearls is even more enticing when it comes to adding that little touch of elegance to finish your fashion look - don’t you think?

Meadowlark Lorna necklace, $925. Zoe & Morgan Mutiara earrings, $520. Silk & Steel Dynasty bracelet, $169. Karen Walker Love Knot ring, $569.


Handbags

Sometimes you need to splash out and invest in a forever bag. Winter weather can be dull and depressing so make the most of Europe’s summer collections, avoid black and go for something in a happy hue.

Bottega Veneta Mount bag, $3615. Louis Vuitton Utility Crosbody bag, $4900. Prada Bucket bag, $2700. Gucci Marmont Mini bag, $3350.


Belts

A belt will add shape to a floaty dress or a touch of glamour to your faded denim everyday jeans. Look for something with extra detail to draw attention to your nipped-in waist.

Sonia Petroff Aries belt, $1320. Stolen Girlfriends Club Western belt, $129. Versace La Medusa Leather belt, $879. Isabel Marant Zap Snake belt, $398.
