The spring 2015 shows may be long over, the collectsions and trends discussed and dissected and spelled out for you, but that doesn’t mean that the show is over—far from it! What happens next? We all get down to business—narrowing our focus to the bits and bobs that, come next season, we really won’t be able to live without. And that means accessories. Here, Vogue editors pick their favorite extras straight from the spring runways and advise on the best styling tips for the season ahead. Because when it comes to nailing next season now, it’s all in the details.

“I plan on wearing this Loewe bag with everything. . . . It’s my new everything bag.”

“I thought I was completely done with heels until I saw these Marni shoes come down the runway. Who wouldn’t want to float around on a sole bolstered by two perfect circles?”

“Nicolas Ghesquière does it again—subverting Louis Vuitton house codes (epi leather and logos) with futuristic nuance—I love the new twist lock. It will look great played off with dark indigo denim and a neat blazer—bon chic, bon genre!”

“I can’t be bothered with shoes I can’t move in anymore and Isabel Marant's flat, earthy sandals are the kind of thing I’d wear with everything in my closet, from a short printed minidress to, in the case of those black spiky fur versions, a long embellished dress for evening.”

“Bottega Veneta’s classic Cabat bag in 50 Shades of Gray. Timely, but timeless. In a dream world, it holds a towel, a book by Roberto Bolaño, and a couple of beers, and all together we’re on the beach in Florida this winter.

“I’m always one for adding a dash of macabre flair to my look, and these Altuzarra earrings remind me of Victorian mourning jewelry—but are happily without any death involved—and way more fun.”

“**J.W.Anderson’**s bags for Loewe are the ultimate country chic-meets-city bags. I love the soft suedes and neutral tones that make them compatible with nearly anything in my wardrobe—jeans to cocktail dresses.”

“I love the feminine spin on a menswear classic; Chanel's reworking of a tuxedo pump seems entirely new to me. Will pair with just-below-the-knee slip dresses in gray, nude, or scarlet, or anything fragile and lacy that requires a bit of heft to stay grounded.”

“I always look to Victoria Beckham’s show for my latest handbag acquisition. While for fall, I fell head over heels in love with her pouches and for resort coming up, I spied a new tote, I’m thinking that this boxy trunk in optic white will punctuate any look with a sense of sophisticated ease and elegance. Plus, it fits my much loathed iPhone and wallet with room left over.”

“I’ve never been one for belts—I literally own one Balenciaga red patent-leather buckle belt, but have never figured out how to pull it off—but I am determined to figure it out before springtime. The collectsions paid a huge amount of attention to the (cinched) waistline, and I loved the numerous interpretations. Miu Miu was especially intriguing, thanks to their printed, brightly colored bucket belts. It made the idea of dressing fun—nothing quite matches but it works really well.”

“I think the average person would be shocked to hear how much time I spend bemoaning the lack of beautiful, unbranded, subtle, and simple handbags. IT’S THE ONLY THING THAT I EVER WANT! AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO ACTUALLY FIND! (Or that’s usually the way that my complaints go.) But thankfully it looks like The Row has delivered—their side-swung expertly tanned saddlebags are the epitome of timeless, “look how hard I’m not trying” elegance to dress up blue jeans and simple sundresses next spring.”

“I adore the little Picasso-inspired cross-body bags at Tory Burch! I hope to have one of these works of art by my side this summer . . . and I also hope to travel to Provence . . . but if that doesn’t pan out, at least I will have this charming companion!”
