One minute, it's all about the bandana and you're feeling smug in your mock country and western garb and the next moment on fashion rolls, ushering in another wave of accessories that are too good not to try.

Autumn/Winter catwalks were full of ideas from fluffy bags to big boots.

And if you think the choker has had it's day, think again.

So what's next and what runways should we be taking inspiration from?

Kane's the master of mixing ugly with beautiful, high brow with low brow. Case in point his Autumn/Winter 2016 bag with it's crystals, big buckle and soft, peachy fluff. It's the unexpected details that make this a favourite of the season.

It's rather unusual to see big, heavy boots on a Valentino runway. The house is normally a go-to for sugary sweet feminine dresses. But it worked. Tulle skirt or jeans, this practicle pair is the most versatile accessory you could buy this winter.

David Bowie would have approved of the Glam Rock footwear that came down Balenciaga's runway. And these stacked heels are the coolest way to add some height right now.

Taylor Swift may have called the choker the 'new flower crown' but that still hasn't dettered us from wearing these everywhere to everything. And just when you thought you might chuck them in the back of a drawer for a while, Dries makes the best version yet.
