2025's Loud Luxury Accessory Trend Makes Looking Rich So Easy
Albeit maximal, these styles are surprisingly wearable.
In late 2024, I heard some chatter about the rise of loud luxury as quiet luxury took a backseat in favor of statement-making styles characterized by bold colors, striking patterns, and prominent logos. And in 2025, loud luxury isn’t quieting down—the many maximal accessories on the Spring 2025 runways serve as proof.
At Gucci, Sabato De Sarno showcased a croc-embossed handbag drenched in a viral shade of cherry red. On Chanel’s catwalk, rich-looking outfits were enhanced with earrings, necklaces, and bracelets emblazoned with the brand’s “double C” logo. Meanwhile, Bottega Veneta launched a pair of sculptural kitten heels that made jaws drop. Other attention-grabbing extras—like the unconventional belt trend, printed headscarves, broad-brimmed sun hats, and wacky sunglasses trends—also permeated top-tier collections.
According to the widely followed Instagram account Data, But Make it Fashion, brands like Dolce & Gabbana and Versace have spiked in popularity by over 40 percent, signaling a high demand for designer labels that champion the loud luxury aesthetic. While celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Jennifer Lopez, and Taylor Swift have embraced a lavish lean, drenching themselves in leopard-printtote bags and high-octane timepieces that cost more than double the average mortgage.
Although the quieter side of luxury won't go extinct—minimalist capsule wardrobe staples will always have theirheir appeal—there’s something to say about pieces that command attention and encourage unapologetic personal style.
Loud Luxury Handbags
Test-drive the loud luxury trend with a handbag that defies moderation.
During the Spring 2025 fashion month circuit, brands demonstrated that the easiest way to steal the spotlight is by toting a vibrant designer handbag. Gucci and Bottega Veneta favored not-so-subtle pops of red, Prada flaunted fierce animal prints, and Louis Vuitton and Valentino embraced logomania. Whichever style you choose, you’re guaranteed to make onlookers stop and stare.
Loud Luxury Jewelry
Investment-worthy jewels don’t have to be plain and simple.
If you’re in the mood to enliven your assortment of jewelry, draw inspiration from Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balmain, Acne Studios, and Chanel. From 80s-inspired earrings and necklaces to chunky charm bracelets, these pieces offer a sure-fire way to help you step outside of the box without getting too costume-y.
Loud Luxury Shoes
Have you heard the latest fashion news? Not-so-ordinary shoes are all the rage.
This season, designers are leveling up their footwear lineups with whimsical twists. Fendi and Balmain decorated their heels with scintillating embellishments and Bottega Veneta anchored a pair of mules with curved heels. As for playful upgrades on trending shoe styles, Miu Miu elevated a pair of loafers with block heels and Chloé reimagined ballet flats with intricate laces.
Loud Luxury Hats and Headscarves
Whether you’re having a bad hair day or you’re simply in need of a polished accessory, a sophisticated hat or headscarf will do the trick.
With the right headwear, you can pull together just about any uniform. Follow Valentino and Gucci’s lead with sweeping sun hats that can work well alongside a variety of beach outfits. You could also opt for a crochet cap à la Giorgio Armani or a sumptuous satin scarf similar to Ralph Lauren’s classic paisley bandana.
Loud Luxury Belts
The style memo for belts this year: Go big or go home.
There’s nothing subtle about the slew of belts seen across the Spring 2025 runways. Chanel and Bally presented leather options stamped with radiant metal hardware, while Balmain ditched leather altogether for wide gold waistbands. Mr. Ralph Lauren, notorious for his classic aesthetic, even took the maximalist route in his collection by co-singing the double-belt trend.
Loud Luxury Sunglasses
Several labels abandoned tiny sunglasses for alternatives that took up space.
Sunglasses with their itty-bitty frames weren’t on the menu this spring season. Instead, designers served up shades crafted with bold oversized silhouettes. Fendi and Gucci covered their versions with saturated hues, while Saint Laurent, Chanel, and Giorgio Armani stuck with neutral tones that still felt just as elaborate.
