Summer Trends in Accessories
Some people would say that it is accessories that make all fashion fierce in the first place. This summer there are some very interesting trends in accessory wear in general.
One of the most interesting trends has to do with belt placement. Instead of wearing your belt at the waist it is now most fashionable to wear it “empire waist style.” This means fastening it under your breasts.
Another great trend is for gloves with a keyhole in the upper wrists. The wrist belt on the glove is then fastened with a huge bow of some sort. You are going to see this kind of glove a lot at big weddings. The effect of this kind of gloves is very 1930s. The character of Minnie Mouse in the old cartoons used to wear white gloves with bows on the wrist like this. The hot color for this glove style is white, followed by black and red. You might also see this type of style in polka dots.
Another big trend for accessories for this spring in summer is going to be feathered belts and earrings. Remember those big peacock feather earrings from the sixties? They are back in fashion along with corded and beaded leather belts with feathers dangling at the end.
Bib necklaces are also very hot this season. These are collars like chokers that then have reams of jewels or crochet draping about the neck like a kerchief. The V shape usually hangs around the neck and below the breasts.
Multi-strand necklaces are a carryover from the last couple of seasons and they are still going to be in style. Whether they are made out of chains or fake baubles these necklaces look great on everyone.
In terms of purses the smaller the better. The novelty heart shaped purse is still in style as are purses in fake prints such as python, zebra or leather. The slightly larger purse style wallet on a chain is also going to be a common sight this summer in vivid patent leather prints and colors.
When it comes to keeping the rain off of your head neon colored umbrellas are also in style. Neon color striped umbrellas are also going to be part of the wardrobe of the fashionable woman walking in the rain this summer and fall.
In general you can also expect magenta and purple to be hot colors for purses, scarves and other accessories. Magenta and purple animal and python prints are also going to be hot. You will also see this kind of trend when it comes to belts and shoes too
