Next year is almost here—and with it comes slouchy-sporty silhouettes that reflect how a world, hopefully emerging from the throes of a homebound pandemic year, craves practical, casual, adaptable takes on everyday luxury

A global pandemic puts a different lens on fashion month—which ordinarily manifests as a multi-platform visual assault of street style, influencer posturing and runway merchandise that may or may not be available now, in six months or ever. This spring-summer 2021 go-around was far more restrained, with designers and fashion houses seemingly taking a step back from the oculus of fantasy, instead grounding collections in a new mood of familiar, practical pieces that imbue utilitarian silhouettes with a more functional take on luxury. Case in point: Nicolas Ghesquiere at Louis Vuitton, whose spring womenswear and accessories feel easy and uncomplicated. Here are our picks for the best accessories from the Louis Vuitton spring-summer 2021 runway show—instant classics and forever pieces we're confident will feel like second nature, right at home in our wardrobes.

Reminiscent of silhouettes from the early-00s, we have no idea why these ever went out of style—a chunky heel and a robust platform lend comfort and stature to an otherwise minimalistic shoe.
