This season was particularly interesting for soft accessories. As wardrobes are demanding more versatility and recessionary mindsets are still infusing design, accessories are exploring their capacity to add strong storytelling to simpler looks. The balaclava has turned into a more commercial product by now, as have XL-Scarfs and Stoles. Novelty is sparked by furry hats, body-chains for layering and surprising furry ruffs. Along the trend of lingerie iconic corset belts are adding an undressed feel to FW22 silhouettes. With a similarly seductive effect, choker and hip-belts are exploring a bolder femininity of the 2000s. While sophistication is guarded via elbow gloves, headbands and preppy berets, that showed to be important for the new academia that prevailed across the catwalks this season. Take a look at the runway’s trends and inspiration for the categories.











These accessoires defined the collections of AW22 fashion weeks. From fancy pieces, such as elbow gloves, stoles and body chains, to seductive chokers and corsets, designers explored femininity from head to toe. Headpieces remained important, pushing the balaclava towards more significant magnitudes and adding fancy fur hats and berets back into the mix. For RTW the hood has showed to be a top trend, manifesting the continuous desire to feel protected and covered around the face.
