For every great street-style snap, we estimate there's a minimum of three amazing accessories that help make the look stand out — most likely more. That was the rule at Milan Fashion Week this season, where duos and trios of attention-getting add-ons made the looks all the more enticing. We spotted Miroslava Duma making a case for the statement necklace, which was a favorite among the Milano showgoers, as were luxe satchels — from the Céline luggage tote to the trusty Proenza Schouler PS1 — and eye-catching heels that ran the gamut from cutout cage booties to pointed-toe pumps. Proof that it's really all in the details starts right here.

Dsquared2 Spring 2013

While many designers referenced the '60s in their Spring 2013 collections, a handful — like Dean and Dan Caten of DSquared2 — took their cues from the '90s.

While many designers referenced the '60s in their Spring 2013 collections, a handful — like Dean and Dan Caten of DSquared2 — took their cues from the '90s. Specifically, the twins referenced the iconic Peter Lindbergh photo shoot for Vogue that put a bevy of supermodels in miniskirts and motorcycle jackets. Naturally, those items made up a healthy bit of the collection: there was lots of leather in the form of shirts, jackets, skirts, and dresses that grazed high on the models' thighs. And for a healthy bit of embellishment, the Catens paired their looks with pearls and gold chains with links the size of silver dollars.
