We’ve seen statement earrings before, but not quite like this. 2018’s version boasts big architectural angles and oversized hoops.

Get the look: Baublebar ($38); Ettica ($45); Rosantica by Michaela Panero ($87)

Forget bulky ankle boots—this season it’s all about slim-fitting styles that create long lines (aka no cankles in sight). 

Get the look: Steve Madden ($100); Jeffrey Campbell ($125); Schutz ($290)
