Tortoiseshell accessories are a must-have for fall

Brooches such as the Ria set by Cult Gaia ($90) work for both blonde and brunette manes and are ultra-versatile. You can wear them together to up your ponytail or alone with a half-up, half-down hairstyle.

It’s all in the eyes! Tortoiseshell is a big yes for sunglasses and even prescription lenses, but how about going for the full-throttle with a matching chain. You can find the Avery Sunglass Chain is available at Revolve ($42).

Delicate and with retro vibes, comes this mini bag from the Zara collection ($49.90), adorned with tortoiseshell details to add a touch of elegance to your outfit.

Jewelry designers like Elizabeth Cole have merged tortoiseshell with other elements such as gold. The result: chic pieces that stand out. With a pop of collor, these rectangular earrings by Effy ($96) will certainly make you stand out.

Being cinched suiting is big for fall, we suggest a tortoiseshell belt like this one by Cece ($148) to get the job done.

The brand B-low the Belt also offers these pieces inspired in the 60s and 70s trends, and they have captured the attention of celebs such as Paris Hilton, Julia Roberts, and Heidi Klum.

The Parker model by Michael Kors ($114.69) is available on Amazon and is another example of the elegance provided by the tones of tortoiseshell accessories.

With the ultra-chic Jila sandals ($390), available at Net a Porter, you will give a clear nod to the '90s. Combine them with a monochromatic beige or white midi dress.

Undoubtedly, tortoiseshell has many strengths: it favors any skin and hair tone, it's exotic and easily combined. It stands out with white or melts elegantly with black, as is the case with the chain that adorns this adorable bag by Zara ($15.99).
