Fashion is ever-evolving, but accessories always remain a must.

Some timeless, some more of a coming and going fad, these are 15 fashion accessories that'll amp up any look!

1. Leather Boots

Leather boots are a staple to have-- they'll accentuate your look and can be a great investment for your wardrobe.

Knee-high boots seem to be a favorite each and every time. Although leather boots come in a variety of heights, knee-high always seems to be the "it" boots.

Try styling them with a mini skirt or a mini dress!

2. Colorful Nails

Nails are oftentimes a must to match a look- and it seems the current fashion trends are gravitating towards colorful.

Like the photo below, each nail is in a different coloring that compliments each other, and are uniform in a French tip.

Since painted nails aren't permanent, feel free to get creative!

5. Paperboy Caps

Popularized by newsboys from the late 1800s to 1900s, this might just be the thing in 2021!

Although this hasn't been on the fashion radar for a while and not very much, this perhaps could be seeing a rise.

6. Colorful Puffer Jackets

Especially as it's winter, puffer jackets are always a must for this season.

Earlier this winter, The North Face's Brown Puffer Jacket was the jacket. It seems as though everyone's interested in colorful puffer jackets nowadays- which I say yes to enthusiastically!

A pop of color is always wonderful.

9. Converses

Converse has been around forever, and they never fail to see a trend going on within teens.

Lately, Converses in zebra print (or any other cool pattern) and green have been on many fashionista's radars. Converses in white- the classic Chuck Taylors- are also a must!

If you'd like to get a pair, shop at converse.com.

11. Headbands

I can't personally recall the last time I wore headbands other than in my elementary school days. However, headbands are so in style for Gen Z right now.

Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf loved to pair her outfits with headbands- for a stylish reason. Try color coordinating your headbands to match your outfit!

However, plain old bucket hats have changed to fuzzy bucket hats- which is perfectly cozy and cute!
