This Season's Must Have Fashion Accessories
Holly Quartaro, Fashion Stylist For The Galleria, Dallas
1. Gladiator Sandals (Nordstrom): A wide variety of styles fit into the "gladiator" description. The flat version is still going strong, especially when bejeweled or in snakeskin. Added height is the newest take on the trend. It is also easier to wear.
2. Neutral Leather Shoes and Bags (Karen Millen): Color-shy shades are a great way to temper bold-tone colors. Bags and shoes in muted shades of cream, tan, gray and blush add a modern, elegant touch to any outfit.
3. Bright Colored Bags and Shoes: (Kate Spade): Team bright accessories with more subdued clothing colors like dark denim, gray and white. Don't be "matchy matchy" with your colored accessories. Be bold and pair them with contrasting bright colors instead. The ONE THING you need this season is a Crayola-colored accessory. Bright colors pair well to offset the new neutrals. Add a pop of candy color.
4. Day Clutches (Nordstrom): Buy on great for nighttime yet large enough to hold all of your essentials.
5. Lightweight scarves (Kate Spade)
6. Brown Belts (Zara): Belts with a waist emphasis are key this season.
7. Bangle Bracelets (Nordstrom): Chunky bracelets are everywhere. Mix and match different styles. Pile them on and stack them high!
8. Vibrant-Colored Snakeskin (Saks): Sultry snakeskin brings accessories to center stage. Earthy enough for the beach, but sleek enough for evening, these sandals exude bohemian cool.
9. Animal prints (Kate Spade)
10. T-strap Shoes (Saks): These shoes are polished and perfect for the office or out on a hot date. Graceful in shape, these shoes still have a playful spirit. It's the new take on the classic ballroom dancer heel.
11. Extreme Shoes ((Nordstrom, Saks): Buy shoes with architectural heels & funky details.
12. Wedges (Kenneth Cole): Elevate your look to new heights. Wedges are great because they add height and length to your legs. Plus they are much easier to wear than stilettos and they are sophisticated.
13. Mary Janes (Saks): Kick up your look with juicy colors, fun textures and playful patterns. This season the schoolgirl style gets a serious update with dazzling textures, deeply saturated hues and fun design tweaks.
14. Woven Bag with Gold Hardware (Kate Spade): This accessory goes great with the season's safari style and nautical look.
15. Modern Tote (Saks): A soft oblong shape is the latest take on the classically rectangular version. Textured leather and hardware add sophistication
16. Versatile Satchel (Saks): Hold this bag in your hand or toss it over your shoulder. The two different strap lengths let you switch it up.
17. Organic Stones (Ylang 23)
18. Exotic Cocktail Rings (Ylang 23): For extreme elegance, get your hands on a statement-making ring. Big, bold stones are the ultimate eye-catchers.
19. Sculptural Statement Necklaces & Graphic Jewelry (Ylang 23): Metal and stone chunky art pieces are in this summer. Big necklaces never go out of style, and sculptural geometric elements are especially striking this year. Last season's layered look has been replaced by strong geometric shapes.
20. Sunglasses (Saks): Brightly colored frames and Aviators are key this season.
21. Ombre (Nordstrom): This color blending technique will provide a subtle fade of color from dark to light.
