If you’ve been monitoring the trends as closely as I have, you may have noticed that a chic group of fashion people have begun swapping their go-to black bags and shoes for an exceedingly more playful colour. Shelving their staples in favour of something a little more unexpected, some of the chicest dressers on my radar are accessorising with turquoise bags and shoes right now.

Now emerging as a seasonal staple, this punchy colour trend brings a vibrant energy to an outfit, making it a natural addition if you want to breathe new life into some of your wardrobe’s simpler pieces. Often spotted in the form of an aquamarine handbag, I’ve seen model Elsa Hosk swap her go-to black and brown styles for this energising shade time and time again this season. Worn with a simple black knit and jeans, as Elsa so chicly demonstrated, a turquoise bag can bring instant energy and dimension to an otherwise pared-back outfit.

Worn alongside brighter shades, turquoise taps into the new season’s maximalist mood, making it easy to create a chic, elevated outfit. And while turquoise bags are having a moment, I’ve also spotted plenty of turquoise ballet flats and heels peppering the outfits of some of the chicest women I follow.

Suddenly, one of the coolest ways to elevate your look, turquoise is encouraging even the most dedicated minimalists to have a little fun with colour. Read on to shop the turquoise accessories I’m recommending below.
