Spring is a time for change and new beginnings. It’s the perfect time to add new pieces to your wardrobe that will make you look your best. If you’re not sure where to start, here are some accessories to add to your spring wardrobe:
1. A statement necklace
A statement necklace is a great way to add a pop of color to any outfit. They’re also great at drawing attention to your collarbone—a feature some might not consider but can be quite noticeable when an accessory or clothing choice is emphasized. A collar necklace is a classic example of this kind of accessory. In its most basic form, it’s a long piece that hangs down from the neckline and meets in an upside-down V shape in front of the chest. This is a very simple example, though—it’s easy to see how this could be dressed up or down depending on what else you’re wearing with it. A longer necklace like this could be paired with something more casual, like denim shorts and a t-shirt, while keeping the rest of your outfit more formal, like a pencil skirt and blouse. Conversely, it could be paired with a frilly summer dress without making it look too tacky or gaudy.
2. Bra strap
When it comes to springtime, it’s all about being comfortable. When the weather is right for shorts and dressing down, you’ll want to create a look that lets you be free and easy in your clothes but still make sure you’re not showing too much skin. The best way to do that is with bra strap covers! Their soft cotton and silicone grip keeps straps in place so they don’t slip, slide, or chafe. They’re also a great way to add a little color and style to your look—and they come in adorable patterns and designs! Invisible and comfy, these are a great (and inexpensive) way to cover your straps when you’re wearing tank tops or other short-sleeved shirts that don’t have enough fabric to hide them on their own. Plus, they’re made out of nylon so that they won’t feel too hot under the sun, and they come in a bunch of different colors, so you can find something that matches whatever spring fashions you’re rocking.
3. A bright pair of sunglasses
Just throw on a pair of shades for a simple, effective way to add some springtime style to your look. Investing in a quality pair of sunglasses is worth the cost since they can be worn year-round and make a major difference in the look of any ensemble. However, it is essential to know what kinds of glasses are right for you before purchasing them. With all the different styles, colors, shapes, and materials available, picking out the perfect pair can be overwhelming. The glasses that “look good” on others may not necessarily translate well to your face shape or coloring. If the glasses you choose don’t fit your face well, they might end up sitting crooked on your face or sliding down your nose throughout the day—defeating their purpose as sunglasses. Start by determining what shape fits you best.
4. A colorful handbag or purse
In addition to freshening up your ensemble with new shoes or a belt, add a spring-appropriate purse or bag. They’re especially useful when you want to change your look but don’t have time for a full outfit change—swap out your bag for a new one, and voila! An accessory bag can be especially helpful if you’re traveling during this time of year—it keeps your valuables together without taking up too much space in your luggage or weighing down your shoulder. A small satchel will do just fine when you’re packing light, but if you need extra room for all the things you picked up (and can’t bear to leave behind) during your travels, try a crossbody purse large enough to hold anything and everything.
5. Statement heels or boots
If you’re trying to get noticed in a crowd, consider purchasing some statement heels or boots that will make people turn their heads when they see them. Spring is the perfect time for wearing these types of shoes because they bring out the sunshine and warmth that everyone loves during this season!
This spring, consider adding some accessories to your wardrobe that can complement your wardrobe. You can also match the color of your accessory with your outfit or another accessory you have on. Always remember: don’t over-accessorize. Your outfits should still be about the clothes and not about the accessories.
