S/S 12 accessories strengthened the easygoing runway mood, creating a casual cool attitude that was eye-catching yet relaxed. Sport cultures continued to influence accessories, from expedition-influenced backpacks and peaked baseball caps to rubber-soled Oxfords and loafers. Contemporary takes on suitcase-style carryalls and Steve McQueen-inspired sunglasses highlighted a renewed appreciation for Menswear classics, strengthening this key apparel movement for S/S 12. Luxe-bohemian ideals remained strong via sturdy leather sandals, chic summerweight scarves and rucksack-inspired bucket bags. Love bead necklaces and graphic neckties stood out, balancing otherwise reserved ensembles.
