Trinkets, Chains & Bedazzled Frames: Decoding the Many Accessories of PFW

When it comes to accessories, more is more. Or at least, that was the mood at Paris Fashion Week.

At Louis Vuitton’s Fall/Winter 2025 show, the most high-profile of the FW25 menswear presentations, accessories stole the show. And this wasn't only the case on the runway.

Since the first day of Paris fashion week, we’ve noticed an uptick in weird and wonderful headwear perched atop many attendees, and from the looks of things, the trend is not going anywhere: cowboy hats, fluffy bonnets, and puffy berets all feature in our latest Parisian street style roundup. But now we’re also zooming in on the various trinkets, chains, and over-accessorized sunglasses being worn. 

A defining trend of 2024, bag charms inevitably appeared on the purses of this year’s fashion week attendees. The trend cycle may be fast, but it isn’t swallowing our want for cluttered bags just yet. Dangling off handbags was a variety of silver chains and tiny trinkets, each adding a touch of customization.

And bags aren’t the only accessories being decorated through the addition of more accessories: chains were similarly found swinging from the belts of PFW attendees while sunglasses played host to silver hoops and jewels.

Over-accessorizing? There’s no such thing at Paris Fashion Week.
