20 Accessories Under $45 That Will Easily Transition from Summer to Fall

An L.L. Bean classic that works for carrying around beach towels and a laptop. Uh, just not at the same time.

Surely by now you know that leopard is a neutral—and it’s meant to be worn year-round.

Looks just as good with bare arms (and off-the-shoulder dresses) as it does peeking out from under the cuff of a button-down or cashmere sweater.

Black rattan is much easier to bridge seasons than the traditional shade of tan. Plus, the faux-croc detailing makes this one fancy enough for big nights out (i.e. 7 PM dinner reservations).

Don’t be shy, show these shoes off with your best faded denim. Whether that’s in the form of cut-off shorts or frayed-edge skinny jeans is totally up to you.

These are super classic aviators—green lenses, gold frames and all—so you’ve got full permission to wear them through February.

We’re pretty certain a face mask is going to be your most important accessory in the fall too. So stock up on a few styles that are cute and comfy. We like that this one from Anthropologie features adjustable ear loops and a contrast trim—so you can easily match it to your outfit.

Like a breath of fresh air for your wrist, this beaded bracelet will look great layered with a gold or silver watch.

We’d suggest pairing these walkable kitten heels with short summer dresses now, and in a few months with one of fall’s most obvious trends: plaid anything. (Before you ask, yes, you can wear open-toe shoes until November.)

Shimmering hoop earrings obviously look great with silk camis and basic tanks but don’t underestimate their power when it comes to dressing up a turtleneck, too.

Indeed, your phone case is considered an accessory. Especially when it’s as cute as this custom version that can be jazzed up with up to 12 characters—for no extra cost.

Tie it in your hair as an impromptu headband at the beach, then wrap it around the handle of your fave handbag for a lil’ daily flair come October.

Looks good with eyelet, denim, leather, chunky knits...you get the point.

Haven’t you heard? Ballet flats are having a moment and that includes this pointy-toe, slingback style.

Although, if you do prefer a classic ballet flat, here it is for only $36.

It might seem minimal, but don’t question the transformational capacity that a colorful bag strap can have on even the most basic black or white crossbody.

At this price, you won’t be distraught when you inevitably sit on this hat. P.S. It will look oh-so-cute with a denim jacket.

This tie-dye pouch is far too sweet to be relegated as a makeup case (though it would work for that, too). Instead, make it your go-to clutch for casual outdoor dinners through October 31.

BUY IT ($28)

A ring so dainty, you’ll never want to take it off. Luckily, it’s 9K solid gold so you can confidently wear it in the shower or while washing the dishes, without worrying about ruining your new ring.

Wear them around your house now (instead of shoes)...and keep wearing them as you WFH through 2021.
