Charles & Keith is a Singapore-based accessories brand whose designs take direct inspiration from the runways and look ten times as expensive as they really are. They’re so good that designers like Chet Lo are even kitting out their models in Charles & Keith’s statement footwear for their fashion week presentations.
Read on for the brand’s best and discover how to dabble in some of this season’s biggest trends without the hefty price tag.

’70s psychedelic
Only a few designers dipped their toes into the past this season (Raisa Vanessa, Rowen Rose and Egonlab, to name a few) but thanks to the runaway success of Daisy Jones & The Six, we can tell that the ’70s are going to be big news this spring and summer. For your own slice of retro style, you’ll need a pair of aviator sunglasses (naturally) and you can’t go wrong with this daisy print in various shades of blue denim.

Barbiecore pink
Thanks to the summer’s most highly anticipated pop culture moment — the release of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie — shades of pink will be everywhere this season. Charles & Keith has nailed it with almost unreal-looking, doll-like accessories. It’s all about the exaggerated buckles, top handle bags and chunky heels.
