The Only 6 Accessories You Need This Spring
This season, updating your look is as easy as adding the following six accessories to your wardrobe. From a '70s-inpsired wide-brimmed hat to a sexy pair of leg-lengthening wedge heels, each of the following six on-trend addition is the perfect way to freshen up your style for spring!
1. Wide-Brimmed Hat
'70s Floppy Felt Hat, $45, ASOS.com
Gigantic floppy hats, which were seen at Marc Jacobs' spring show this year, not only provide excellent protection against harmful UV rays, but also they also pull together any style you choose this season, whether you're rocking a bohemian maxi dress or flared jeans. We're sold!
The Grooviest Ways to Try the New '70s Trend
2. Oversized Cat Eye Sunglasses
KW 'Lina' Sunglasses, $10, Nordstrom.com
Drawing on the '70s trend we're seeing in stores everywhere right now, the rule for sunnies this season seems to be the rounder, the better, ultimately resulting in perfectly circular shades. To get close to this high fashion trend without stepping too far outside of your comfort zone, try oversized cat-eye glasses. They flatter just about every face shape including triangle, oval, round, and square.
The Hottest Shades of the Season!
3. Structured Handbag
Clean Line Double Buckle Satchel, $45, ASOS.com, Tan Triangle Lock Satchel, $65, Topshop.com
Whether in bright colors or classic neutrals, this season's it bag is the structured handbag. Go for styles that sit up on their own and are sturdy enough to hold all of your essentials.
4. Printed Clutch
Vibrant Beaded Clutch, $18, Forever21.com
For sunny outdoor brunch meetings and romantic evenings out this spring, downsize from your everyday carry-all bag to a petite patterned clutch. There's no color combination too festive for this season!
5. Wedge Sandals
Steve Madden Fantasik, $80, Zappos.com
No one would pass up the opportunity to make their legs look miles long. Seize the day-and some extra inches-in a pair of wedge heels. They're not only way more comfortable than a platform stiletto, but they also add height to your overall look, ultimately making you appear thinner. And as another bonus, you'll spend less time sinking into the grass and more time showing off your stems thanks to the trendy wedge!
6. A Sun-Kissed Tan
L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Tinted Self-Tanning Lotion, $11, Walgreens.com
Second only to a smile, a healthy glow is the best spring accessory a girl can have. Don't have time to jet off to the Caribbean to get some real color? We don't either. So that's why we go faux-faux tan that is. Self-tanning is super easy these days, thanks to lotions like the one above. Adding a bit of color to your body's overall complexion gives you the illusion of a more slender appearance, plus self-tanner and bronzing powder can shadow and downplay "problem areas." Score!
