Fall Fashion 2011: Hot Accessories Under $50

Last year’s structured headwear has relaxed into a softer, slouchier shape. This floppy fedora has the ribbon trim of a proper ladies’ hat to make it fit perfectly with a trench, sweater, or blouse. (Volcom “Blinker” hat, $35, Zappos.com)

Layered mixed-media necklaces are the “it” jewelry item this fall. If you’re worried about going overboard, this Kenneth Cole New York pair is on-trend without being overwhelming. (“Tiger Eye” duo pendant necklaces, $38, Piperlime)

Save the thick cable-knits for the dead of winter. Pair this fall’s pencil skirts and ladylike dresses with sheer, kicky patterned tights. (Hue Outline herringbone tights, $13.50, Bloomingdale’s)

Fall runways were full of leather, chains, lace, and other bondage-influenced detailing. Embrace a little bit of S&M style with this bracelet, which pairs metal links with a tough braided leather band. (Leather twist bracelet, $20, Gap)

The hottest place for fur this fall is around the neck. This faux-fur stole is perfect for formal occasions or to add a dash of glam to a casual jacket. (Honey faux fur tuck stole, $40, Topshop)

This season, it’s all about looking ladylike, with necklaces, necklines, shoes, and satchels sporting ribbons and bows. This skinny belt with a bow detail is perfect to pair with a pretty blouse or sheath dress. ($35.90, Zara)

Ditch the bulky hobo bag in favor of a thin envelope clutch. This imitation-leather version from H&M can be carried by hand or by the adjustable shoulder strap. ($24.95, H&M)

To beat the first blusters of cold weather, wrap up in a stylish patterned scarf that’s as much about fashion as it is about function. (The Mad Men Collection silk “Betty” scarf, $49.50, Banana Republic)

Attention-getting statement necklaces are here to stay, and autumn’s versions are full of details like hammered gold, color-blocking, and chunky bib-like shapes, perfect for layering over thin turtlenecks. (Harlequinade necklace, $48, Anthropologie)

Watches have gone from utilitarian timekeepers to a fashionable accessory that coordinates with clothes. This version, with the fleur-de-lis detail and crystal trim, looks far more expensive than it really is. (Style&co. watch, $29.98, Macy’s)
