Spring 2008 Accessories Preview: Expect a Color Pop
Posted on November 30th, 2007 by Liberty in Fashion Trends
Need a quick break from your real life of frigid temperatures and holiday chaos? Then take a moment out to “Think Spring” – Neiman Marcus did.
The exclusive retail giant offered a sneak peek at some of Spring 2008’s Fashion Accessory Trends at their twice-yearly preview on Wednesday. And what did they find? A color pop!
- Bright hues such as coral, pink, red, purple, aqua and emerald green make a statement in spring. Since beige is predicted to take over for wintertime’s gray as the neutral du jour, these glorious colors will add an enticing splash of color to amp up any outfit and make a statement.
- Color-block handbags from Prada and Marc Jacobs lend themselves to the bright trend and will, no doubt, spawn plenty of less-expensive knock-off options.
- Expect to see a continuation of metallics and patent leathers into spring. This time, neon and candy-colored patents replace black and red, while gold knocks silver out of the top spot for metallics.
- Prints such as paint-splatters and other artsy designs will show up on shoes and scarves.
- Expect to see plenty of unusual and unexpected heels throughout the designer lines, including a flower-shaped heel from Prada.
- Hallelujah! The giant handbag may have finally met the blessed shrink-ray, as medium-sized bags are expected to steel the show next season. If you’re only splurging on one bag for spring (yeah, right!), make it white.
- Neiman Marcus will feature an expanded handbag selection from Christian Louboutin for Spring, including a neon pink patent leather choice.
- Following the worldly trend of spring clothing seen on the runways, accessories with a tribal flair will also state their presence.
The only prediction we’re not loving so far is the “gladiator” sandal trend, considering it is virtually impossible to create the illusion of never-ending legs with closed-up shoes. Hopefully this is one trend that will turn out better than we expected.
Hmmm…Is it Spring yet?
