Your Spring Accessory Shopping Guide, Straight From The Runway

Spring often means it's time for a wardrobe refresh, and while there's plenty of joy to be had in restocking on simple basics and a few fun items here and there, accessories are often an overlooked way to update your seasonal wardrobe.

Last year, the Spring/Summer 2026 runways made a point of proving this, with accessories far and wide becoming the focal point of many collections, like Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel debut, which has garnered a full shopping frenzy for its bags and shoes, now available in stores. Meanwhile over at Dior, footwear became a triumphant moment for Jonathan Anderson, who showed a series of kitten heels, mules, court shoes and loafers all in leather, satin, and tartan, some with peep toes and bows or oversized rosettes, others with playful rabbit ears at the toe. As we know, anything that Anderson touches turns to gold, and with the anticipation around his tenure at Dior, accessories provide the most sensible access point to owning his Dior.

Over at Prada Spring/Summer 2026, opera gloves in lambskin and satin came down the runway en masse, in joyful spring hues like aquamarine, lilac, baby pink, and orange—all color trends of the moment, which, paired with gloves becoming a fixture of the trend cycle, makes them an accessory of the moment—while at Loewe, all focus was on the plastic heeled water shoe hybrids that came out in transparent PVC, black, yellow and flesh tone, leaning into the burgeoning water shoe trend.

We've been doing plenty of reporting on the colors of the season this spring. Chartreuse, aquamarine, mint, and petal pink have all been fixtures of the runway and IRL as we reintroduce color into our bleak winter wardrobes. We're seeing less floral prints and more block colors with hues that are only slightly out of the norm for spring and summer. As far as accessories go, everything is filled with a bit of whimsy. From mint cap toe Chanel pumps (which have been highly coveted in-store, alongside a host of new it-bags from the same collection) to canvas cargo kitten heels with crystal embellishments and satin gloves from Prada, oversized crucifix earrings from Saint Laurent, Miu Miu woven belts with plenty of key rings for various uses, chartreuse Ferragamo evening bags, and more.

Ahead, shop our favorite accessories this season, straight from the Spring/Summer 2026 runways.
