While clear accessories haven't always had the best reputation in the
past (unflattering plastic ponchos and lucite heels are most prominently
coming to mind), the new wave of clear jewelry and accessories is anything but cheap or tacky. Clear, which has been popping up in
watches, necklaces, sunglasses, shoes, and more, is great because it's
versatile -- it's not too fancy, but not too casual either, and the way
it reflects the sun and sparkles without looking like full-on bling is
pretty without overdoing it. More modern than white accessories yet a
little more toned-down than bold brights, clear is a hot way to cool
down as fall arrives!
