Also, clothes aren’t the only element you need to get right; there are also a ton of spring accessory trends to love and choose from. Sometimes it’s a choice of accessories that complete a perfect look, and no outfit is complete without a good accessory or two! Below, I’ve rounded up my top seven favorite spring fashion trends and accessories for 2020. I’ve also paired them together to help create the perfect outfit combinations, PLUS added some suggestions on when and why you should wear them. Read on to see them all!
Polka Dots & Red Lips
Apparel:
Some prints come and go and prints stand the test of time. Polka dots most certainly fall under the latter category. Polka dots are being seen all over spring 2020s runways in various from, from dots to circles with different patterns, sizes, and shapes. This fun print can be seen on skirts, dresses, tops, and trousers.
Polka Dots require little-to-no styling, which is why they are considered a hero purchase. There are many adventurous ways you can incorporate the print into your wardrobe since it’s fun, light, and adds that perfect feminine, retro touch to any outfit. This print can be your go-to for work, weddings, weekends, and beyond. There is never a wrong time for polka dots.
Accessories:
Red lipstick is such an easy yet powerful way to add a bold element to your entire look. It instantly brightens any outfit. Whether the lipstick itself looks good or distracts from less-than-stellar products, you feel pulled together as soon as you put on a bold lipstick! Red lips are a classic, but they’re also always on-trend. They’re classy, edgy, polished, and elegant but unpretentious too. They work in a busy office as a truly woman-empowering accessories not just for special occasions but for every day of the week.
Red lips don’t always have to be bold. With a myriad of different nuanced shades, textures, and finishes, there’s a red lipstick that’s a flattering, perfect fit for literally every woman. The bottom line is that there aren’t any rules if you find a shade that you love and works for you. It will look and feel just right. And since lipsticks are usually inexpensive but quality accessories, it should be a win-win!
Why they make the perfect combo:
Not a color gal? No worries, this combo is for you! Brighten up your black and white outfit with a pop of color like a punchy red lip. It’s easy to keep this fun print classic when worn alone. But pair it up with a red lip, and you’ve got yourself an undeniably feminine, playful, and flirty look, adding just the right amount of personality without ever being too much.
60s Wallpaper & Sunnies
Apparel:
Retro prints rule the runways. Bringing both major colors and patterns from vintage wallpaper to paisley psychedelic prints, they are all making a comeback. To nail the thrift-chic, hippie look, go for Bohemian fabrics, breezy dresses, and peasant blouses with floral or art-deco designs. They are an essential element of the sixties style, which is all about keeping it playful and free-spirited. Good vibes only.
Accessories:
The sun will soon be shining, and you will likely want to protect your eyes with some of the stunning spring/summer 2020 sunglasses! While you might like tiny glasses, it is the oversized retro-inspired shapes that are taking over this spring. Wearing oversized sunglasses can make a strong fashion statement, so this season go for big, bold frames in round or square shapes. I have always found that sunglasses, a necessary accessory for any woman, are the kind of thing you can justify spending on. If you buy them right, you’ll have them forever.
Why they make the perfect combo:
What better accessory to complete this 60’s look than a vintage pair of oversized sunglasses? It’s a no-brainer – they complement each other so perfectly. If you’re going to go retro, you might as well have fun and go all out, sunglasses included.
Pistachio & Vests
Apparel:
This is yet another spring color trend that’s likened to food. Embrace pistachio green as an alternative to the textbook pastels this coming spring. This happy color can be incorporated into your wardrobe through dresses, separates, handbags, or shoes, giving all your outfits a fresh, modern feel. Pistachio is the perfect versatile shade to transition from winter to spring. That’s why I think every woman needs to run out and buy herself a pistachio green outfit ASAP!
Accessories:
Vests are so fresh and funky. I just love how they add more dimensions to your look. Whether they’re paired over a dress or even layered under a blazer, I just find them to be endlessly flattering. You’ll probably whip out these classics time and time again.
Why they make the perfect combo:
Vests and pistachio green are one of those classic fashion trends that always manage to fly under the radar, but they are both making their way back this season. So why not pair them together to make the perfect outfit? There’s just something so pretty and romantic about this combo, and I find they work so beautifully together.
Bright Orange & Wedges
Apparel:
Is it even spring without a fun, vibrant color to throw into the mix? Designers have already made liberal use of the cheery citrus shade in their spring 2020 collections, so expect even more orange in your future. From subtle shades of sherbet to traffic-cone hues, orange is getting all the attention.
This flamboyant color is more polarizing than most since people tend to either love it or hate it. Whatever your feelings are about this color, there’s no denying that orange is one of the most dynamic colors out there. It’s attention-grabbing, stimulating, and vivacious. And for all those reasons, I think every woman should have a splash of orange in their closet to help brighten up their wardrobe.
Accessories:
If you want to boost your look and your height this season, there’s no better accessory than bold platform/flatform shoes. Yes, those thick and chunky shoes are back once again and are going to be dominating the street-style scene. Those who prefer flats to stiletto heels also might prefer the comfort of these as compared to heels. Plus, they just have a nice fashion-forward look.
Why they make the perfect combo:
Let’s dive right into the color orange paired with wedges! Well first off, ”why not”?! This combo is nothing short of a feel-good, fabulous look that screams both bold and stylish. It’s great if you’re looking to make a statement without compromising your comfort. If you’re a bit hesitant about wearing bright orange with a statement shoe, then try partnering it with a neutral platform. This will help draw less attention to the shoe and more to the outfit. The bottom line: this combo is just so fun!
Tropical Prints & Scarves
Apparel:
This style is inspired by exotic islands and wild forests, and this is the season to celebrate your adventurous spirit. Let’s face it: you are heading to the jungle in these tropical prints. Whether there’s an actual trip on the horizon or not, thanks to this particular spring and summer trend, you can at least dress like you’re headed on the tropical vacation of a lifetime through nature and fruit-inspired prints!
Accessories:
Colorful and versatile headscarves are back as a great option for those bad hair days. You can easily style your hair with any fabric while simultaneously adding that whimsical, casual vibe to your overall look. There are various kinds of headscarves and lots of different ways to sport them. Roll it, wrap it, or tie it – the options are endless. If you’re ready to start to spring the right way, be sure to add them to your list of “must accessories” for 2020.
Why they make the perfect combo:
Whether or not you’re on a tropical island, just have fun with your look. Clash those patterns, pile on the brights, and hey…why not add a printed headscarf to the mix?
Florals & Buckle Belts
Apparel:
Spring is a classic time to showcase florals. This well-known pattern gives us a wave of nostalgia that can be incorporated into modern garments. Not only are florals available in a rainbow of colors, but there are also a million ways to wear them! With unexpected pairings and bold flowers, these modest styles depict gardens and bouquets in fresh, new ways.
Accessories:
Whether they have gold buckles, are set with rhinestones, or are embellished with animals or insects, belts have always played an important role. Nowadays, the bigger the buckle, the cooler the belt. If you are among the fashion-forward, you know how much of a difference a belt can make to your outfit and how some accessories can serve up as much style as they serve a purpose. While buckle belts are a great way to add personality and charm to your look, they can also help cinch flowy maxi dresses, trousers, and skirts to add structure to your look. No outfit is complete without a buckle belt.
Why they make the perfect combo:
If you like to take risks, then you might like to incorporate retro florals with throwback styles. Try on Bohemian or grunge styles and make them look modern and fresh by adding the right accessory. For example, a luxe leather buckle belt can create just the perfect contrast when paired right. “Perfectly sweet” with a touch of “tough girl” – now that’s the look we’re going for ladies!
Crochet & Straw Hats
Apparel:
Crochet is getting a cool update this spring. Think ultra-feminine dresses, skirts, and tops with a special touch of Grandma’s handmade crochet. As the fashion industry looks for ways to become more sustainable, there’s something special about a “trend” that embraces a slow, handmade technique that can be passed down from generation to generation.
Accessories:
Straw hats are an important staple for the spring/summer season since they help to shield us from the sun, but they also make for an excellent addition to any outfit. Opt for an array of fetching styles, from wide-brimmed to Panama, floppy, or fedora. Wear it with anything, anytime, anywhere. And remember the wider the brim, the more of a statement you’ll make.
Why they make the perfect combo:
Is there a better way to usher in spring or summer than with a golden straw hat & crochet apparel? It immediately conjures memories of vacations to hot, exotic places, where the sun shines bright and hot. Nevertheless, as much as we think of vacation with these two things, it doesn’t have to be relegated to the beach. This look can be chic and effortless on the streets too. It’s all about how you wear it. The look we are going for is crisp, fresh, and feminine.
