Trend in Review: The Accessories
Monday, December 29th, 2008We’ve had the jumpsuits and the purples; today is another 2008 trend review day.
Today, I am giving you the various accessories that hit the red carpets, the streets, and parties this year.
Are you ready? Let’s get started…
Scarves
Well this fashionable accessory has been mostly essential for the fall. While giving warmth to the stars, it also gives that chic but casual look.
Katie Holmes (photo above) is wearing an H&M scarf that’s only $60! On the other hand, Jennifer Garner’s gray Inhabit scarf costs $318.
Fringed Bags
They’re hip, they’re casual, and they’re definitely a head turner. It’s no wonder why stars love to complete their looks with fringe bags.
Mary-Kate Olsen was all glammed-up with her fringed bag at the opening of the MINI Rooftop NYC while Leona Lewis’ fringed bag completes her travel outfit at LAX.
Oversized Sunglasses
Whether it’s 2008 or 1978, oversized sunglasses would surely be an always-hit for the stars. It seems to be a must-have accessory for the stars; big enough to cover their lovely faces but not too big enough for them to be anonymous.
See how Victoria Beckham and Paris Hilton sport their oversized sunglasses.
Bangles
This year would probably be a year of the returning retro style. And when it’s retro, bangles must have to be there.
Check out how Madonna rocks with her chunky bangles at the Gucci private dinner celebrating the Tattoo Heart collection in NYC; Kerry Washington glamored and shined with her diamond bangles at the Cinematheque Awards in Los Angeles. But if you think bangles are just great with the retro look, see how Carmen Electra wore her bold bangles in a sexy bikini.
Well these are just some of the hottest accessories of this year. Some will still be a hit next year, while some… who knows?!
