With the slow disappearance of snow covered ground and swift smell of spring comes everything that makes it a fashion favourite season for all. That’s right ladies and gents, it’s time to throw away those skates and mittens and gather up some fun and fancy accessorizing pieces to spice up your outfits as you to get ready to sashay under the sun; while staying up to date on the latest seasonal fashion trends of course. We’ve put together a list of 10 spring 2019 accessory trends you’ll be dying to try for yourself!
A sunny spring sky calls for the hottest pair of sunglasses you can find, so why not start off with a pair of these bad boys with petite lenses and pointy edges? Cat eye framed sunglasses have been an ongoing trend over the years and we can see why; the subtle retro vibe they give off never fails to keep every outfit classy yet casual and cool. Our Quantico sweetheart Priyanka definitely seems to think so. Let’s not forget that if you’re on a broke student budget, you can skip out on the Adam Selman x Le Specs Luxe Lolita designers and get a funky fresh pair from Forever 21, Zara, or H&M!

Up next we have one of the coolest spring shoe trends. Heels are a go to for any fancy occasion, in any season, so why not pump up your glam with an even more fun heel? Whether it’s a fun metallic ball heel or a spiral structured heel, treat your feet to something that will never fail to turn eyes. The Yuul Yie Doreen Slingback is our favourite!

Paperboy hats, often called “newsboy cap” are making a definite comeback into the latest fashion trends. Perfect for a fun day out with friends, a photoshoot with your friends at the white brick wall just outside the uOttawa campus, or just to stand out in the crowd on your way to class. This hat makes every outfit that much more fashionable. Snatch yourself a wool blend Ralph Lauren Paperboy or grab it for even cheaper at the nearest Simons. These bad boys are surely an eye catcher.

Pearls have been one of the most elegant fashion highlights through centuries. This season, we’re loving the unique shapes, sizes and colours they’re coming in, and let’s not forget that you can wear them as necklaces, earrings or even as pearly clips in your hair. These beauties make every outfit just that much more glamorous, especially when under the sun!

One of the most quirky spring trends is box shaped handbags fabricated with the most unique materials. An absolute favourite is the tortoiseshell glass bags that can be found in just about every apparel and handbag store. Inspired by the YSL Pyramid Box in Patent Leather bag, box handbags are coming in all shapes and sizes, making the lives of every university student just that much more bearable. You may be crying about midterms in your sleep but at least you have a sick bag to carry all that baggage in!

Another eccentric fashion craze is the act of wearing a completely different earring on each ear. Yes, it’s a thing! Our girl Miley Cyrus made it a pretty badass deal to mix it up a bit by wearing mismatched earrings to press events and music videos. If you lack organizational skills, this spring trend is the one for you. Who has time to find the other earring anyway? We’ve got tuition to worry about.

We’ve seen snakeskin tops, shirts, jackets, bags, and now shoes. What else is there? The snakeskin booties are an absolute must for the spring season. Don’t worry my animal lovers, you can get a pair of these lovelies at any Free People store; and yes they are vegan! Pattern isn’t always fun when it comes to fashion but this trend is not only chic, but it definitely speaks volumes.

Winter is coming to an end, but pretty scarves don’t have to. Handkerchiefs for your neck; one of the wildest inventions. A quick walk around the park with your favourite spring outfit and a cute scarf wrapped like a bow around your neck to add that extra something never hurt anybody. ASOS has the most beautifully tailored neckerchiefs, coming in a variety of colours, materials and prints. Wrapped around your neck or even a handbag, this accessory is a must have!

Yes, see-through plastic bags are still a thing, and they’re getting better and better by the year. This bold piece is becoming an iconic accent for fashion lovers all around the globe. We agree with you, they are a little “open” for the world to see, but who cares? You’ve got nothing to hide. And anyway, fashion seeks to express, so what better way than to carry around a see-through handbag around town?

We think it is safe to say that everyone loves a little bling every once in a while. Crystal belts are becoming one of the most popular trends in fashion this spring. Worn with the most casual outfits, this belt is definitely a fine advocate for the “high-low” fashion rule. A sucker for attention, the crystal belt trend is nothing short of a good time.
