The small things you carry and wear every day have a big effect on how an outfit feels. The best accessories are practical, durable and timeless enough that you will not tire of them.
These four have been favorites for years, and they cover bags, timekeeping and sun protection.
A tote that folds away
A lightweight tote is one of the most useful things you can own. The Longchamp Le Pliage is made from nylon, folds flat for travel and has been popular for years. It works as a work bag, a carry-on extra or an everyday carrier.

The best reusable bag is the one you keep in your pocket. Baggu’s Standard bag is made from ripstop nylon, holds a lot and folds into a small pouch, so it is easy to toss in a coat or purse.

A watch that doesn’t try too hard
Not every watch needs to be an investment. The Casio F-91W is a famously simple digital watch that is light, inexpensive and instantly recognizable. It is a good fit if you like a casual, understated look.

How to choose accessories that last
- Pick neutral colors that go with most of your wardrobe.
- Choose durable materials over trendy details.
- Think about how you will use it. A bag you dread carrying stays in the closet.
Check the retailer for current prices, colors and availability before you order.
