Accessories report Fall/Winter 2020
Give your Fall wardrobe a boost with these on-trend accessories.
ALL THE SMALL THINGS
AirPods, cellphones, water bottles, cameras - all the essential gear of the active 21st century man and woman. Dior Men started the trend for leather AirPod cases - now Bottega Veneta and Tom Ford make their own versions too. But what tops it all is an unexpected leather water bottle carrier by Jacquemus.
A WOMAN'S WORLD
Nice girls wear ties too. This season, designers such as Dior, Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana showed off myriad ways to do so - and you don't need a blazer to complete the look either.
HOLD ON TIGHT
Keep your bags close to you - especially when they're elegant clutches from Chanel, Proenza Schouler and Prada.

NEON NOW
Black or navy? Neither. Tan? Boring. Being fashionably clued in means investing in neon colours that pop.
LOOK SLEEK, NOT STREET
When it comes to bags, shoes and accessories, skip the streetwear look and go chic with a classy briefcase or a formal fanny pack. For ideas, look no further than Dior Men, which does not disappoint.
BUCKLED BEAUTIES
Mary-janes may be a popular style for the ladies but Alessandro Michele of Gucci showed that they can be gender-neutral as well.
EXTRA LARGE
Oversized bags are back in vogue after pushing backpacks out of the limelight.
OLD IS GOLD
Since Hedi Slimane took over the helm at Celine as creative director, he has been influenced by the Parisian house's old school monograms and handbag styles - but his Tambour bag for Fall 2020 is his best retro-inspired style yet.
BOOTIE CALL
This Fall, boots get all the attention. Whether it's lug-soled, platform or lucite-heeled, made in latex, or decorated in chains - these boots are certainly not for the faint-hearted.
