Best Bet: DVF’s Sutra Micro-Mini Cross-Body Bag

The easiest way to inject color into a dark wardrobe is through a well-chosen accessory. Try this vivid option from Diane Von Furstenberg, which, with its structured shape and geometric closure, adds a playful touch to any outfit — even a basic navy pea coat. (Plus, its gold strap is perfect for slinging over your shoulder for an easy, hands-free look.)

Sutra Micro-Mini Leather Cross-Body Bag, $150 at DVF.
