ACCESSORIES provide the perfect finishing touches for the new looks we can't wait to embrace in the upcoming spring season. Bold shapes, eccentric designs, bright hues and floral patterns are the key words across handbags, shoes and jewelry. Meanwhile, shorts - from hot pants and swingy tap versions to classic Bermudas - remain a wardrobe favorite. This season, dressy fabrics and sexy shapes are among the touches used to make them more interesting.
Jewelry
A mix of sexy and grungy style, this season's jewelry pieces have an "urban futuristic" touch, echoing the popular military fashion style in recent seasons. They include bib necklaces, statement necklaces, big chains, wide cuffs and clip rings featuring interesting details such as metal zippers, studs and leather strings.
Meanwhile, there is also a trend in jewelry that symbolizes our renewed love for animals and nature. Flower brooches, animal prints, butterfly rings and symbols such as snakes, panthers and sea creatures are all popular with designers this season.
Handbags
The new season's designer handbags come in a variety of patterns, colors and sizes. From totes to shoulder bags, from crossbody bags to envelope clutches, there must be a style for you. They are also available in all kinds of bright, fruity hues, such as lemon, lime and orange. Designers such as John Galliano for Dior and Phoebe Philo for Celine have paired bright-colored handbags with bright-printed frocks. Last but not least, animal prints will still prove to be a hot trend for spring/summer 2011.
Shoes
Fun and colorful prints appear on many designers' footwear collections this season. Without being extremely dramatic, they help add a pop of color to your outfits. From classic prints such as exotic animal skin prints to more eclectic types such as checks and stripes, these printed heels can be a great addition to your existing shoe collection.
Shoes with feminine, exquisite details such as bow ties, laces, sequins and chiffons are another classic and refined choice.
Shorts
Shorts maintain their popularity after making a major comeback last summer. They allow women to look sexy while keeping a high level of comfort and style.
This season's trendy shorts are glammed up in dressy fabrics and sexy shapes. Shorts created from leather and tweed exude charm and elegance and can be worn to formal occasions when they are matched with the perfect top. Some of them are beaded with fancy sequins to bring out the classic "Cabaret" style.
