ONE WAY TO ELEVATE YOUR OUTFIT? SCULPTURAL ACCESSORIES
By Flo Bellinger, 19 January 2026
HAIR ACCESSORIES
Embellished locks emerged on last year’s runways and have since stayed put, proving a luxury wardrobe is all about nuance. Vintage-inspired details like hair pins, clips and sculptural hairbands allow you to play with the simplest of up-do’s – whether it’s a low pony or a classic French twist. Not only do these additions catch the eye, but they’re a great conversation piece. After all, nothing says ‘great style’ like a creative twist on a classic look.

EARRINGS
Minimal 90s looks might be dominating mood boards but try going bolder where your ears are concerned. Oversized pendant earrings and large resin hoops bring some avant-garde flair to your everyday wardrobe and will make last-minute outfits look thoroughly pre-planned. We’re particularly loving a statement stud paired with undone hair – this combo creates the kind of laid-back energy reserved for the chicest dressers.

BRACELETS
Oversized bangle stacks made waves last summer, particularly colourful resin pieces. But 2026 will see the trend become evergreen. Think layers of smooth sculptural bracelets in contrasting metals and wide-ranging shades. These fun arm accessories breathe new life into simple outfit formulas – like the classic jean and white shirt combo – and help formal pieces feel a little more lived-in. Try stacking these resin bangles with an upturned cuff and oversized trouser. Finish things off with a simple ballet flat and you’ve deftly turned the volume up on ‘quiet luxury’.

NECKLACES
It’s always worth having a statement necklace on file – whether you layer it over turtlenecks in winter or use as a day-to-night bridge in your holiday looks. These eye-catching pieces make the barest of necklines feel fresh and work particularly well with monochrome layers. With accessories this bold, there’s little need for intervention. Let your necklace do the talking and your whole outfit will be heard.

RINGS

Perhaps you’re more of a maximalist dresser – or you’re trying your hand at prints this season. In which case, sculptural jewellery is best reserved for your fingers. A statement ring is the ideal way to bookend a look, ensuring your accessories keep up with louder ensembles (or update a pared-back 'fit). Dome finishes are trending this year, whether you opt for silver, gold or something less traditional. And thanks to their minimal yet head-turning designs, these jewellery favourites are easy to mix and match.
