Spring is finally here, and you know what that means—it’s time to shed the heavy coats and dark colors and bring on the fun, fresh vibes. One of the easiest and most exciting ways to update your look for a new season is by switching up your accessories. From bold earrings to playful bags, spring 2025 is all about adding personality to your outfits in small but stylish ways. The best part? You don’t have to spend a fortune or completely change your wardrobe. Accessories let you get creative and express your mood without going all in on a trend.
This season, the accessory game is all about contrast. Think soft and structured, bold and minimal, vintage and futuristic—all coming together in unexpected ways. Whether you’re someone who loves making a statement or you like to keep things more low-key, there’s a trend this spring that will fit your vibe. Let’s break down the top accessory trends of the season and how you can make them work for your everyday style.
1. Chunky Jewelry Is Still In—But with a Twist
Chunky necklaces and oversized earrings have been trending for a few seasons now, and they’re not going anywhere. But this spring, the look is getting a bit of a refresh. Instead of ultra-glossy gold or silver, think colorful enamel, natural stones, and unexpected shapes. These pieces look like little pieces of wearable art—and they instantly add personality to a plain white tee or a flowy dress.
If you’re not into huge pieces, don’t worry. Layering smaller chunky chains or stacking bracelets in mixed materials is another fun way to play with this trend. Look for jewelry in fun colors like sky blue, coral, or even pastel green to give your look that spring feel.
2. Hair Accessories Are Making a Comeback
Good news for anyone who’s ever wanted to look put-together without trying too hard: hair accessories are having a serious moment. This spring, we’re seeing everything from padded headbands and silk scrunchies to retro claw clips and barrettes covered in pearls or rhinestones.
The key to this trend is not overthinking it. Just pop a clip or band into your hair and go. It adds a little polish to your look, whether you're wearing jeans and a T-shirt or a breezy sundress. Try a pastel-colored headband for brunch with friends or use a pretty claw clip to twist your hair up when the weather warms up.
3. Statement Belts Are Back
Belts are more than just functional this season—they’re fashion pieces in their own right. Wide belts, corset-style belts, and belts with big, bold buckles are popping up everywhere. They're being worn over blazers, cinching dresses, or even added to high-waisted jeans to bring more attention to your waistline.
One of the best things about this trend is how it transforms an outfit. A basic black dress can suddenly feel high fashion with the addition of a dramatic belt. Choose one with texture, color, or a cool buckle to really lean into the look.
4. Micro Bags and Oversized Totes—Both Are In
This spring, it’s all about extremes when it comes to bags. You’ll see two major trends on opposite ends of the spectrum: teeny-tiny micro bags and extra-large totes. Surprisingly, both are stylish in their own way.
Micro bags are more about fashion than function. You probably won’t be able to fit much more than a credit card and lip balm in them, but they do add a super cute, trendy detail to your outfit. Wear one crossbody or carry it by the handle for a pop of fun.
On the other hand, oversized totes are back for people who need space and style. These are perfect for days when you're running errands, heading to the beach, or just want to carry everything with you. Look for canvas, leather, or woven straw styles that feel fresh for spring.
5. Sunglasses with Personality
Say goodbye to basic shades—this spring, it’s all about sunglasses that stand out. Think bold colors, retro frames, and unexpected shapes like cat-eyes, ovals, or oversized rectangles. Tinted lenses in rose, blue, or amber give a cool, vintage feel without trying too hard.
Even if your outfit is simple, a fun pair of sunnies can change the whole vibe. And since they’re functional too (protecting your eyes from UV rays), it’s a smart fashion upgrade.
Not sure which shape works for you? Try a few styles and take selfies to see what flatters your face the most. There are no rules—just pick what makes you feel confident.
6. Playful Scarves
Lightweight scarves are one of the most versatile accessories you can own, and they’re making a big comeback this season. Wear them in your hair, tie them around your neck, wrap one around your bag handle, or even style one as a belt.
Printed silk or satin scarves in floral, polka dot, or geometric patterns are especially trendy this spring. They're great for layering and give you that chic, effortless French-girl look. Plus, they’re easy to find at any price point—from thrift stores to high-end brands.
7. Colorful Shoes Are In
While neutral shoes are always a safe choice, this spring is about stepping outside the box—literally. Bright shoes in bold shades like lime green, electric blue, sunny yellow, or bubblegum pink are showing up everywhere, from sandals to sneakers.
The trick is to keep the rest of your outfit simple if you're wearing loud shoes. Let them be the focus. A basic white dress or jeans and a T-shirt combo can instantly feel trendy when paired with colorful kicks or sandals.
If you’re not ready to go full neon, try shoes in pastel tones. They’re soft, springy, and still make a statement without feeling overwhelming.
8. Woven and Natural Materials
Wicker, rattan, and straw aren’t just for beach bags anymore. This season, accessories made from natural materials are popping up in all forms—jewelry, hats, shoes, and bags. They give your outfit a breezy, vacation-ready vibe even if you’re just going to lunch in town.
A woven tote bag or a pair of espadrilles is a great way to dip your toe into the trend. Bonus: these pieces are usually super lightweight and perfect for warmer weather.
9. Hats Are Hot Again
We’re not just talking about floppy beach hats (though those are always cute). This spring, baseball caps, bucket hats, wide brims, and even visors are stylish again. Fashion-forward folks are pairing hats with casual, sporty, or even dressier outfits for a cool and unexpected twist.
If you're having a bad hair day or just want some extra sun protection, a cute hat is the way to go. Look for ones in bright colors, soft fabrics, or even patterned designs to spice up your look.
10. Layered Necklaces for a Delicate Touch
While chunky chains are still going strong, layered delicate necklaces are a softer, more romantic trend this season. Think gold or silver strands with small pendants, charms, or pearls—layered at different lengths to create depth and interest.
They’re perfect for adding a little sparkle without overwhelming your outfit. Whether you’re wearing a deep V-neck or a simple tank top, this look adds just the right amount of shine.
