Belts

They boost the masculine, urbane look as seen in Etro’s winter collection. It had models wearing them over Paisley printed pants, coats and jacket-pant collabs. From their sleek leather built, to ultra bold and thick material, the belts seen at Etro are going to make a comeback this season.

Italian caps

As elementary as they might look in winters, caps make one look suave and when they come in Italian style then they amplify the personality. Italian style caps were seen in quintessentially romantic collections at Tod’s that featured classic outdoor pieces that heralded the touch of sensuality, tactility and pragmatism.

Brooch

Brooch has been highly popularised with celebrities donning it at red carpet events. As sartorial and delicate as it may look, the brooch add lots of glamour and luxe to the attire as seen at Golden Globes when Elton John, Ansel Elgort and Jason Momoa donned it. In 2021, the brooch made a short appearance in the collection of label ERL resting in its beguiling beauty over a white pant suit with golden collars. Looks like it’s here to stay.

Sling bags

If the past year harbingered gender fluidity in fashion, this year is propelling it by making some of the elements such as sling bags as unisex. While cross body tiny slings were seen at Etro, they also added a dapper look at label OAMC’s miniature bags that were worn alone by models or teamed up with other slings. This trend is a staple for casual and streetwear.
