Women's accessories

The Forcast accessories range covers the pieces that turn a good outfit into a considered one: belts, bags, shoes, scarves, jewellery and hair accessories. It is designed for women who dress for work and want the finishing details made as well as the tailoring underneath. Everything here is chosen to sit alongside our suiting, dresses and knitwear, so colours and proportions already match.

What is in the range

  • Belts, from slim leather styles like the Hennessy Leather Belt to wider adjustable ones that shape a dress or blazer at the waist.
  • Bags, including structured shoulder bags for the office, crossbody styles for weekends and small clutches for evenings.
  • Shoes across flats, loafers, slingbacks, heels and boots.
  • Scarves, from silk twillies to wool blend wraps as the weather turns.
  • Jewellery in gold plated and silver finishes, spanning earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings.

How to choose

Start with what you wear most. If your working week is built on tailored pants and shirts, a leather belt and a pair of gold plated earrings such as the Naya 16k Gold Plated Earrings will earn their keep daily. If dresses are your base, a belt and a structured bag do more than anything else to change how the same dress reads from Monday to Friday. Keep metals consistent within an outfit and let one piece do the talking.

Small pieces, big difference

Bracelets are an easy place to start, whether that is a plain cuff like the Maren Cuff Bracelet, a sterling silver chain or a pearl style such as the Delaney Pearl Bracelet for evenings. Stack two in the same metal, or wear one on its own beside a watch. Hair accessories are the quickest fix in the range: a neat pin reads as polished for the office, and something softer handles the weekend.

How to shop accessories

Buy for the outfits you already own rather than the ones you are planning. Match the metal of your jewellery to the hardware on your belt and bag where you can, and keep bag size in proportion to what you actually carry each day. If you are starting from scratch, one belt, one bag and one pair of earrings that work with most of your wardrobe will cover far more days than a drawer of odd pieces.
