Spring Accessories Straight from the Catwalk

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Nottingham chapter.

Accessories can make or break an outfit, but with so much choice, it’s easy to find accessories that suit your outfit and style.

Think boots are just for winter? Well, think again! Boots are all the range this summer, and lace up boots are especially hot this year. Wear them long or short with jeans, skirts, or dresses, just be sure to show them off for maximum impact.

In terms of earrings think ‘the bigger the better’. Less is definitely not more this season. Oversized earrings are the way to make a statement, and they have been seen in all kinds of styles. Keep other jewellery to a minimum and let these earrings do all the talking.

Flatform footwear is the most comfortable and fashionable way to get around this spring and summer, while offering height and comfort; just chose the design that best suits your outfit.

Now for the sunglasses of the moment: raver sunglasses. Think fun and over the top. With options in all kinds of colours, shapes, and sizes, these glasses will automatically add an element of cool to whatever you wear. 

Belts are the best way to flatter your figure and make anyone’s waist look great. It’s all about wide wrap belts this season, created to flatter the figure and add an interesting element to an outfit.

If statement earrings aren’t your thing then go for a bold statement necklace instead. With long necklaces being favoured over the popular chokers of previous seasons, keeping the top half simple will ensure the necklace is the focus.

The forearm is the area to show off this season, with intricate and detailed arm cuffs seen on the runways. Think graphic shapes and interesting designs to flatter the arm best, worn with short sleeves or over long sleeve tops.

With all these potential accessories to mix and match with this year, you’ll be looking for any excuse to dress up and go out.
