The start of a new year always brings the same fashion questions, and with one of the most asked being; what accessories will be hitting the high streets and satisfying the cravings of the fashion hungry this year?!
Here’s a few of the biggest trends to tempt you and your pay cheque over the next few months.
Statement jewellery
A lot of people want to add colour and confidence into their wardrobes but have fallen into the trap of hiding behind dull dresses and taupe trousers.
Statement jewellery pieces are the perfect way of adding personality and vibrancy to an outfit without changing the clothes.
It’s all about big chunky necklaces in celeb land, with style icons such as Olivia Palermo embracing the trend.
So what are you waiting for? Update your look and boost your confidence with one of the exciting new designs.
Skinny belts
Skinny belts are back. Belts are always big and styles are constantly changing, but this year the slim style belt is the new must have item.
These elegant designs have been a prominent feature on the catwalks, seen regularly in Spring/Summer 2011 collections.
The pretty waist belts not only beautify the summer dress, but will also take you into the winter with the style set to be a key fashion item all year.
In order to complement a variety of styles, go for a leather belt in dark colours like brown or black.
Belt purses
2011 is about to mix fabulous and frumpy with this years bag trend; the belt purse.
Yes, as odd as it sounds, this fashion piece has turned a few elegant corners since the days of the 'bum bag' and has ditched the neon colours in favour of strong leather styles.
The belt purse is best worn just above the waist to prevent the accessory from looking too functional.
Cats eye sunglasses
A hot trend for the Spring and Summer will be cats eye sunglasses. The vintage inspired shape complements the ladylike dress trend and screams 60’s glamour.
This year there will be enough choice to have a different pair for every day of your holiday and to match every outfit in your wardrobe!
Fortunately, for those of us with more fashion cravings than cash, the stylish little beauties will be able to be snapped up at a variety of prices, with the high street adopting budget friendly alternatives.
