The Coolest Accessories for Spring All Have This One Detail in Common

It's not typical for micro embellishments to make a macro impact, but if you've been browsing new arrivals lately, you've likely noticed some of the best accessories for spring all have something in common. No, your eyes aren't deceiving you (and apologies in advance to anyone's trypophobia): Metal eyelets are, in fact, everywhere.

I first sensed the trend brewing when I saw Gucci's Fall 2022 collection, which included a punk-ified Jackie 1961 bag that shook me to my core. Then, I started noticing many different designers that took a liking to eyelets and grommets, which are thicker and wider in size, used to reveal whatever's beneath or to simply add another decorative touch. Alaïa has a history of loving a metal cap here and there, most recently dotting everything from hosiery to swimwear to its latest must-own pair of ballet flats with them; they also are a key detail in Prada's Spring 2024 collection, punched onto knitwear and fringed midi skirts, reminiscent of the brand's grommeted handbags from the early aughts.

Ahead, we compiled the best eyelet- and grommet-accented handbags, belts and shoes from brands like Alexander McQueen, Isabel Marant, Sandro, Jacquemus and more.
