When making a fashion statement, let accessories be your punctuation mark. The new shapes for bags and shoes are minimal in shape and sensibility but maximal in color and detail.

Suddenly the “It” bag is so last century; instead of the bulky logo bags, smaller clutch and envelope bags in bright colors and patent-leather finish or fabric are “in.”

With shoes, it is all about comfort before style. Sensible flat slip-ons are the way to walk the fashion talk.

The T-strap pump is back. You must own a pair of nude pumps to go with any outfit, from day till evening.

The shoulder bag, sporty and finished with fine details such as zippers and grommets, is the new way to swagger to success.

Choose from these styles, but consider the impact of color to finish a look. Consider also that the sensible shoe is the match to power dressing.
