WORDS BY JULIE DUAN
Embellished straps. This season’s instant outfit refresh for the sartorially savvy.
Why? Because a carefully chosen embellished strap can elevate the simplest t-shirt and jeans combo into something with pizzazz, or bring a textural element to a sleek look.
We’ve all seen Fendi’s much-talked about studded straps by now, but all the big accessories hitters are it - look to Prada for floral motifs and sumptuous shearling, jewel detailing at Dolce & Gabbana and if you’re a Valentino’s Rockstud kind of girl, the classic Italian brand has kindly catered for you too.
And no, we’re not done yet. Deep breath... opt for Off-White’s industrial tape strap if you have a more streetwear-focused wardrobe, and Anya Hindmarch if playful design details are your jam. A modern Bohemian at heart? Insta-famous Kate Cate’s bohemian concho iteration is the one for you.
Snap onto your existing tote, cross-body or mini-bag and go. How we love it when life is this easy.
