When it comes to spring 2027 accessories, there’s a bit of awkwardness in the air. Shoes are either shrinking to the point of bare-footedness or stacked to the gills with frills; belts are being piled on to an almost uncomfortable degree, and tights—an accessory usually saved for the fall season—are everywhere.
