As the temperatures start to dip and the scent of woodsmoke lingers in the air, it’s time to shift gears—from lightweight fabrics to layered textures, and from sun-soaked minimalism to cosy statement pieces. Autumn and winter bring the perfect excuse to elevate your look through accessories that are both functional and fashionable.
At Maison d’Accents, we’re big believers in style that feels as good as it looks. Our pieces are designed to move with you, to reflect who you are, and to make you feel completely at ease in your own skin, no matter the season.
So as we step into the cooler months, here are the five key accessory trends we’re excited about this autumn-winter.
1. Blanket Scarves Are Back (And Bigger Than Ever)
Let’s start with a cold-weather classic: the blanket scarf. But don’t think of this as your average winter wrap. This year, it’s all about volume and versatility. Oversized scarves can double as shawls, travel blankets, or dramatic outfit finishers.
Whether you opt for a rich neutral tone like caramel or charcoal, or go bold with oversized checks and contrasting colours, a blanket scarf is the simplest way to add comfort and flair to your outfit. Wrap it, drape it, belt it—there’s no wrong way to wear one.
2. Structured Hats for Unstructured Days
When your hair has a mind of its own or you just want to feel put-together in five seconds, a well-structured hat is your best friend. Think wool fedoras, felt cloches, or soft berets—anything with shape and personality.
These hats don’t just offer warmth; they frame your face beautifully and add a sense of intentional style to even the most casual outfit. Bonus points for going hands-free with your umbrella.
3. Statement Sunnies in Moody Tones
Don’t pack away your sunglasses just yet—autumn light can still be sharp, and winter sun even more so. But instead of your usual summer favourites, reach for shades in deeper, richer hues.
We’re talking frames in olive, rust, plum, or smoky grey—colours that complement the season while still giving off that effortless cool. Whether oversized and dramatic or angular and modern, statement sunnies continue to be a year-round power piece.
4. Playful Textures Are In
This season is all about how things feel. And no, we don’t just mean emotionally (though we’re here for that too). From soft ribbed knits to buttery suede, faux shearling to felted wool—textures are doing the heavy lifting when it comes to autumn-winter style.
Accessories are the perfect place to play with tactile details. A knit scarf with fringe, a suede-brimmed hat, or even fleece-lined gloves—these subtle touches bring warmth and visual interest to every outfit, especially when you’re layering basics underneath.
5. Versatility Is the New Luxury
The biggest trend this season? Pieces that actually work with your life. We’re over one-time wearables or accessories that look great in photos but sit awkwardly IRL.
At Maison d’Accents, we’re designing for real life: scarves you can wear three different ways, hats that pair as easily with denim as they do with a coatdress, and sunglasses that feel just as appropriate at brunch as they do on your morning walk.
Comfort. Confidence. A little playfulness. That’s the Maison d’Accents way.
Style tip from us: Let your accessories do the talking. You don’t need to overhaul your wardrobe to feel fresh—just one well-chosen piece can transform your look and your mood.
