Spring Accessories Report: Color! Seventies! Drama!
Bold color and '70s inspiration are huge trends for Spring, and accessories are an easy-peasy way to incorporate both into your wardrobe. We've rounded up a few of our favorite extras from the season — from glam turbans to earthy woven belts.
The Platform Wedge
It took us a little while to warm up to this season’s newest version of the wedge — which is less coquettish, but more pragmatic — but now we're hot for it. The more uniform platform makes these wedges ultra-comfortable. And they'll be perfect with wide-leg jeans or a mini-sundress.
Derek Lam Stacked Wedge Platform Pumps, $590.
The Turban
Turbans aren’t just for bad hair days — they're seriously chic. But we get that the full-on turban isn’t for everyone, which is why we love the turban headband. The look is still retro and charmingly exotic, but not as "Auntie Mame" as the real deal.
Jennifer Ouellette extra wide turban headband, $70.
The Bold Lady Bag
We saw the return of structured bags this past fall, and are excited to see that they've stuck around. And we're loving the idea of a pop of hot pink color worn with an outfit of muted tones. Breeziness personified.
Kate Spade gold coast Evangeline bag, $395.
The Bohemian Jewelry
Falling in with Spring's love affair with all things 1970s comes bold bohemian-inspired jewelry. Think layers of necklaces and wide, beaded cuffs — not dinky little pendants.
Isabel Marant sodalite and brass charm necklace $175.
The Oversized Sunglasses
Aren’t oversized sunglasses always in style? Um, yes. But these are tailor-made for our new wide leg jeans and lace blouses. Hel-lo, Jodi Foster in "Taxi Driver."
Urban Outfitters hazy days sunglasses, $10.
The Woven Belt
After seasons of roomy frocks, Spring signals the returns of the cinched waist. And woven belts will do the job beautifully — with frocks, jeans and even oversized tees.
