March is here, and that means that spring is (finally) coming soon. For most of us, it doesn’t really feel that way yet. It still gets dark early and in much of the country temperatures are still freezing and snow is still falling. But the big thaw-out is coming, and it’s coming soon – with Daylight Savings Time right around the corner the days will soon be longer, and before you know it the weather will start getting noticeably warmer and more pleasant.
Whether or not it starts to feel like things have changed over next week, two weeks from now or next month, it’s going to happen, and the change will bring with it new fashion trends. Actually, the fashion industry is, as usual, already a bit ahead of the game and has been showing off some of this spring’s hottest trends. Since we’re all about helping you accessorize away until you’re looking your absolute best, let’s take a look at this spring’s biggest accessory trends.
Relic Pendants
The fashion industry is calling them “charm bracelets for adults,” and it’ll be almost impossible for women who jump on this first trend not to get noticed when they’re out and about. That’s because top fashion designers are rolling out a bevy of wildly creative and eye-catching pendants in all sorts of shapes and styles. If you’re searching for a fashionable accessory to liven up your appearance and help you make an intense statement, then pair one of these relic pendants with your outfit and hit the town.
Breastplate Necklaces
Not feeling the relic look? Not to worry, as breastplate necklaces offer a very different but every bit as chic and attention-grabbing an option for ladies this spring. They’re huge, they’re bold and they’ll bring out your natural feminine charm while also adding just a touch of strength and toughness to your look. Your options include framed and numeric necklaces, large and long ones, enormous animal shapes and much more.
Tube Necklaces
Not feeling the bad girl or old-fashioned looks of the first two options? Then consider trying a tube-shaped necklace. Classic, all-black metal dual tubes, twisting and winding variants and shiny tube necklaces with glass-like appearances are just a few of the trendy looks that’ve been spotted on the catwalks as of late. Be sure to avoid wearing medium collars with the pieces and instead pair them with either a low or high collar.
Oversized Earrings
Some top designers seem to have apparently gotten a little free-flowing with colors, shapes and textures, and the results are some undeniably wild-looking earrings. These statement pieces are enormous and elongated earrings are seen as a modern breakaway from more reserved, traditional earrings.
Metallic Bracelets
Unique and modernized interpretations of the vintage metallic bracelet promise to make a comeback in a big way this season. From massive frames to twisting, colorful options, metallic bracelets promise to make appearances on the wrists of fashionistas everywhere in the coming months.
Wood Jewels
Whether it was chunky pine spheres or daintier, cedar-looking drop earrings, natural wood popped up all over the fashion world as of late. Often asymmetrical, wooden jewelry is set to make an unexpected splash as one of spring 2015’s kitschier aesthetics.
Fur and Feather Jewelry
Perceived by many in the fashion industry as a tribal look, jewelry with fur or feathers has been seen hanging from ears or slid around wrists of more than a few high-fashion models at spring events. Furry pom-poms earrings, ponytail bracelets and delicately feathered bangles and watches highlight this fashionable jewelry style.
Go-Go Boots
Of course every woman loves a fashionable piece of jewelry, but, believe it or not, there’s more to accessorizing properly than wearing the right jewelry. For the spring, knee-high boots made from plastic-like, patent-looking leather and with square-like toes are just the thing for any woman looking to pull off the contemporary “mod” look. Best of all, they pair well with a variety of clothes from little shift dresses to the always popular skinny jeans.
Fabric Fringe Bags
Fringe was already big this past fall, and many women carried the look through to winter. The look is getting a bit of a refresh this season, with fun textured bags sporting copious amounts of lightweight fabric fringe having grabbed the limelight at recent fashion shows.
Affordable Jewelry
OK, so this one isn’t so much a spring trend as it is an evergreen one. But, hey, we’re confident you’ll love getting something pretty and knowing you saved money this spring, so we’re including affordable jewelry on this list. Birkat Elyon’s cubic zirconia jewelry pieces avoid being a chic today, tacky tomorrow style. Instead, thanks to their high-quality, handmade nature, they’re an always-popular choice for women looking to round out their jewelry collections with some less expensive options or for those looking for affordable jewelry to replace more costly pieces with while traveling.
