The longer, warmer spring days mean lighter dresses and the chance to slip on sandals. Accessories are in vogue this season, and there is a wide range of stylish options out there to complete your look.

We’ve highlighted the top accessory trends that never go out of fashion, enhancing your seasonal wardrobe and making you stand out from the crowd.

Belts

Belts aren’t just practical this spring– they’re a statement piece. Rope belts are perfect for colder days, offering a playful touch to more formal blazer outfits underneath coats. Black leather belts are a safe look that will go with pencil skirts and high-waisted trousers. 

Cow print is all the rage this year and shows no signs of slowing down into spring. Opt for a more subdued cow and pony hair belt with a brass buckle or a loud brown and white spotted option in your size. 

Caps

Baseball caps don’t need to be confined to the gym this year. They’re being paired with tailored outfits and tonal hues to add a pop of colour.  Use them for sun protection when out and about on the weekends, and throw them in your tote bag in the evenings. 

Smarter neutral-coloured baseball caps can be suitable for the office. Darker hues are better for lighter hair, while beige and off-white are perfect for black and deep brunettes. You’ll look chic without appearing too casual. 

Bucket hats with narrower brims work well on summer days. A beige straw hat gives a rustic look, while brighter cottons have a retro aesthetic. 

Sunglasses

Oversized shades with chunky frames suit most face shapes for a bohemian look. Pair them with a floral dress or a knitted jumper in contrasting hues for an impactful look that offers UV protection. 

Round or square cat eyes featured prominently on the runways this season. They’re classics that pair well with monochromatic office outfits or button-down dress shirts to inject drama into your workwear. 

Wear ski-google-inspired glasses off the slopes or when relaxing by the pool on holiday for an unmissable, cool-girl look. 

Jewellery

Classic jewellery, such as silver drop earrings and diamond solitaires, is at the forefront of trends this spring. Pearls, long a staple, are returning this year as necklaces and stacked rings. Baroque pearls on mixed-metal jewellery offer a modern twist to experiment with.

Layering and stacking allow maximalists to personalise their look. More is more, so mix to your heart’s content or opt for sleek silver and rose-goldcombinations. Start with an uncomplicated base piece like a chain before adding different lengths and textures for a beautiful look. 

Large bangles are making a comeback. Resin bangles add texture to basic outfits to contrast against blue denim and are waterproof, so you don’t have to worry about damaging them at the beach.
