Spring is around the corner and as the trees are blooming and flowers budding, fashion lovers are putting away their winter wardrobe, making way for a more colourful and vibrant. True fashionistas know that what really makes or breaks an outfit are the accessories you choose to pair it with.
Accessorising can get tricky, as trends come and go, making it hard to find cute, relevant pieces that blend seamlessly with your wardrobe. Luckily for you, I did the research so you didn’t have to, and these are the accessories the streets are saying you need in your closet this spring:
Adidas Sambas
I think it is safe to label these the unofficial sneakers of the year, as they have surpassed what it means to be trendy. Although sneakers are not ideal during warmer weather, the Samba’s are the perfect shoe for closed-shoe-lovers. They are light and made of breathable material so you won’t sweat, and they also come in a wide range of colourways that can adapt to your style.
Pointed-toe shoes
For some time, square-toed shoes were the talk of the town, however, as of late, pointed-toe shoes have been making a glorified comeback. Fashion experts, Refinery29 state that these types of shoes not only work well for the office but can be paired well with a casual outfit, to dress it up. The shoes also tend to complement a modern look.
Statement bag
According to Etoile La Boutique, the power of a statement bag can never be overstated, and although the clothes are an integral part of the outfit, it is time to let the bags be the star of the show. “Fashion houses are embracing this trend of offering innovative and daring designs that allow individuals to express their unique personalities through their choice of handbag,” the experts say.
Bows
Thanks to TikTok, bows are definitely in this spring, and fashion lovers and stylists have found a million and one ways to style the bow. With the preppy, school-girl style and pumps (which are now called ballet flats) coming back in style, it is no surprise that people would want to pair it with a cute bow. The bows also pair well with a girly-girl style with unlimited dress and skirt options, paired with sandals.
Sunglasses
Sunglasses are the gift that keeps on giving as they not only have the potential to elevate an already great outfit but also provide a layer of protection for your eyes from the sun. This spring, be sure to invest in a pair of capsule shades that go with your style and can be mixed and matched with a lot of your outfits.
