Summer may be ending but that doesn’t mean you have to put away the brightly-colored accessories you rocked all summer. In fact, you should feel even more inclined to leave them out and use them frequently. Bright colors for fall, especially in rich jewel tones, are all the rage and will take you from drab dresser to fall fashionista.

Keep in mind that not every shade of the summer will translate well. While there is still plenty of time to wear those magenta wedges or that vibrant handbag, the coral/neon pieces may need to be put on the back burner for next summer…or your next appearance in an LMFAO video. Instead, reach for the bright cobalt blues, deep reds, emeralds, burgundys (even pinks and magentas) and yellows for fall. The pop of color will add an extra something to the mainly-covered-up concepts of fall. Whether you’re waving down a cab in your bold-colored gloves or running to a sales meeting in your bright red booties; bold, bright accessories are always in fashion.

Here’s a little inspiration for you bright, young things:

Steve Madden Red Booties, $139 // Yellow Beaded Necklace, $30 // Dolce Vita Magenta Wedges, $101 // Pink Glasses, $12 // Yellow Glasses, $99 // Quilted Blue Bag, $60 // Multicolor Necklace, $22 // Blue Pumps, $120 // Pink Scarf, $16 // Green Earrings, $38 // Print Scarf, $68 // Pink Gloves, $128

Bonus: Fall is all about bringing back winter white, wearing that little burgundy dress and combining textures (think fur trim on a jacket or skinny jeans with an oversized sweater). Pairing these bright accessories with your outfit will make an impression that is sure to last all season long.

Shop these pieces at ModCloth, Nordstrom, and Banana Republic.
