Fashion trends each season give you a guideline of what to anticipate seeing in the stores and in what new styles you may expect to see people while out and about. The beauty of accessory trends, in my opinion, is the ability to take the current trends and make them a little more your own. Trends are fun and a great guide for updating your wardrobe each season, but my rule of thumb is to always choose styles that fit your body best.
New accessories for the season allow you to add a little pow to a simple outfit or take a nice ensemble and make it truly special. This spring’s accessories are often the star of the show, feature a statement piece [or two], and should offer you ample options to personalize your individual fashion style.
Gold…it is the color for the spring and summer this year. Whether you’ve chosen a metallic pair of shoes or a large, matte piece of jewelry, gold is having a true moment in 2025. Pair gold accessories with virtually any color to add some pop to your ensemble. For those hesitant to wear solid gold accessories, mixed metal options are also popular this season. Blended silver and gold bangles, rings, earrings and more will allow you to add a touch of gold without going all-in on the trend.
Many design finds fall in line with words that begin with the letter ‘B’…big, bold, and beachy.
Let’s break that down, shall we?
Big – jewelry, tote bags, wide headbands and even wider belts. When in doubt, choose a large option to fit in with this season’s looks.
Bold – the statement piece is having a true renaissance this season. So, when looking for just the right item, consider a piece that will unquestionably take your outfit from drab to dramatic. Bold hosiery is a popular option for spring. Bright, intense colors, appliqued options andintricate designs are all a hit for spring. If you’re a fan of hosiery making a statement versus enhancing the smoothness of your legs, this season’s trend is for you.
Beachy – much of what you will find this season has a beachy/ocean vibe. Jewelry with shells, fish, waves, and more can be found in bright gold or shades of ocean blue. Summer totes ar available in summer straw materials or even as woven fisherman bags.
Fashion sunglasses were seen on nearly every fashion week runway. From alien-like shapes to styles that harken back to the ‘70s, to Audrey Hepburn-esque shades, the key is to opt for extra-large lenses – a complete about face from last year’s narrow and
skinny sunglasses.
Handbags are a ‘mixed bag’ this season [apologies for the unavoidable bad joke]. From large, boho shoulder bags to east-west designs (small, rectangular bags with a short shoulder strap), designs go with either the 70s or ultra-feminine clothing styles that came down the runway. You’ll find fringe, handbags clip-ons, and buckles, among other accoutrements for spring 2025.
For this spring, select the accessories that let you put your best, most confident self forward. Not every look will be for you, nor do they need to be. Choose the ones you like most and welcome them into your wardrobe as they welcome
you to spring.
