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! 

Beat the late-summer rays with a pair of clear-framed glasses from Hobo International, or swap your jeweled bib necklaces for more understated clear beads. Also, while jelly sandals may have been stylish for summer, go for a similar look that’s more fall-friendly with these see-through ballerina flats from Michael Kors! Clockwise from top left: Hobo International Wendy Shufitz Clear Frame Sunglasses, Old Navy Clear Beaded Statement Necklace, KORS Michael Kors Opal Ballerina Flat, and AK Anne Klein Crystal Index Resin Watch.

Bold and simple, this season’s bar rings bring an unexpected edge to your otherwise-ordinary finger adornment. While most trend toward sleek and refined, a handful of designs clearly take their inspiration from old fashioned brass knuckles, bringing a hard edge of streetwise punk to the look. 

On the daintier end, Elizabeth and James (far left) offers thin, sparkling designs that cover two fingers in simple narrow bars. Most styles are oriented horizontally, but a few run vertically, creating a sharp metallic “spike” that rests right on your finger. 

Designer Jules Smith offers an array of “Knuckle Rings” (right) that are likewise thin in profile, but designed to stack for maximum impact. Some are plain while others incorporate a bit of texture or a set of sparkling stones. Make your own combination for a signature look. 

Meanwhile Erica Anenberg’s “Twosome” rings (middle)bring a tougher edge to the look, with substantial metal bars and rows of stones. Some of her designs even feature short messages or words that stretch across the setting, tempering these powerful pieces with a little bit of play. Fresh, tough, and exciting, bar rings are the new way to dress up your fingers with panache and polish!
