Let’s be honest, even when you know you’re in need of a new elevated basic such as black trousers or a nude bodysuit, you somehow find yourself adding a handbag or belt to your virtual cart as well, simply because shopping for accessories is… undeniably fun.
While it’s pretty hard to forget jewelry (we’ve rounded up the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals for that here), the remainder of accessory categories are just as important to cultivating an intricately thought out ‘fit, and aren’t to be overlooked. And with the holidays around the corner, they make ideal and safe gifts as well (all in favor in of not guessing someone’s clothing size and getting it wrong, say ‘aye’).
Ahead, we’ve rounded up 10 accessories that are sure to earn a spot on your “to buy” list, along with everything you need to know about how to get them on a sweet deal. Scroll ahead and shop them before they’re gone.
01
Frances Valentine Carrie Frame Bag
Frances Valentine is celebrating Black Friday with 30 percent off select styles through November 29, and after you’ve got your hands on this wool handbag, we strongly suggest styling it with any preppy and Parisian-inspired fall and winter outfits you’ve still got up your sleeve this season.

Nearly everything at New York & Company is 50 percent off, and this is not a drill. You can score these oversized aviators for under $10 once discounted, but rest assured you’ll still feel like one million while wearing them.
03
