Bold and Timeless: Statement Black Accessories For This Season and the Next

If you're feeling a bit tired of your basic black bag, amp things up with a little bit of metal. This bag ($65) will do the trick, bringing a touch of '90s chain mail to your current look. With a shoulder strap and a magnetic clasp, it's comfortable to wear and can carry all the essentials. It's a timeless black purse with a little extra embellishment.

If you're looking for a pair of black boots that stand out from the crowd, try these daring thigh-high boots ($950) from Stuart Weitzman. Expertly crafted with an almond toe and a tie-back closure, they'll add drama to your everyday look, whether you pair them with a mini for a night out or a sheath dress for work.

It's time put away your basic black beanies and fedoras and pick up this on-trend bucket hat ($12, originally $20). Made from sleek faux-croc vinyl, it'll hold its shape better than a classic linen hat — providing a little extra shade and anonymity as you go about your day.

Crafted from ankole horn, this beautiful cuff ($51, originally $98) makes us want to invest in more black jewelry. Both playful and sophisticated, it'll make a statement with any outfit. Let it peek through a blazer at work or sport it prominently with something casual on the weekend. When you want to feel polished and put together, it's the ideal piece to throw on and go.

If you're gearing up for cooler days ahead, this puffy black scarf ($25) will keep you warm in style. We love that it hooks into itself for hands-free wear. And while it's fairly large, it'll still tuck into a more oversize coat to keep you cozy when winter hits.

Embellished with a mass of tiny crystals, this glamorous black headband ($70) is a true statement piece. It'll add a regal touch to any outfit, whether you pair it with trousers and a blazer for work, or jeans and a sweater for date night. Consider it a modern-day crown for the fashion-forward dresser.

Accessorize with a little bit of disco thanks to these black sequin–laden drop earrings ($12). They'll add just a bit of fun and sparkle to any outfit and would be particularly appropriate for upcoming holiday parties and a fancy New Year's Eve celebration.

Need a new pair of loafers? Look no further. This pair ($37) has all the trappings of good style, from shining patent leather to a sweet (yet smart) oversize bow. Simple to slip on and with an almond-shape toe, they marry comfort and good looks — an essential combination for the best black accessory.

Be bold when it's cold with these sweet faux-fur earmuffs ($35). They're the essential black accessory you didn't know you needed. But you'll be truly grateful for them when it's ice cold outside and you need to walk to the train (or even just to your car). With a slim headband and big fluffy muffs, they give off chic après-ski vibes (and are fully animal friendly).

We're here for the cat-eye sunglasses trend. Both classic and elegant, the cat-eye provides style and anonymity when you need it the most. This pair by Monki ($18) will deliver a little extra glamour with thick frames, slim arms, and dark-tinted lenses. They're the bold, black accessory you'll wear everywhere — and turn heads in the process.
