Take an already great outfit to the next level with the right accessories. To help lift your looks, whether it’s for spring racing or a wedding, here’s our guide to spring’s most stylish accessories.  

Turn heads with these hair pieces

From fascinators and headbands to hair clips and hats, how do you know which item best suits your look?

If your outfit is fairly simple, i.e. a singular colour, then choose an extravagant fascinator or headscarf to elevate your look. If your outfit is on the busier side – patterned or flowy – choosing a simple headband with embellished details will work beautifully.

Add a classy touch to your look by pinning your hair back with bejewelled accessories or an elegant claw clip. These are extremely popular and are not going out of style anytime soon, so you’ll be spoilt for choice if you pop into Lovisa.

When the sun is out, a broad-brimmed hat is always a great choice. TK Maxx has plenty of options. A knitted cap or wide-brimmed fedora will see men in good stead for a variety of celebrations. 

Pick a bag that is fashionable yet practical  

This season, bags are as much of a statement piece as anything else. Don’t forget that practicality is key to – consider the number of items you’re planning to carry, then focus on the look and feel of the bag itself.

Smaller bags such as a slim shoulder bag or clutch are ideal for evening events or occasions where you will be mostly on your feet, keeping your hands free so you can fully enjoy. Larger options such as bucket or tote bags suit day-time celebrations, like a birthday or lunch, as you can tuck a present inside. Explore the latest arrivals at Colette and Strandbags.

Step out in striking footwear

You can always rely on a fun heel to give your look a stylish and comfortable touch. Block heels are popular for the races and birthdays where you’ll be moving around or standing regularly. For weddings, classic strappy heels never go out of style for a reason; they’re timeless. Pop to Betts and Novo to find the perfect pair for you.

Sneakers with some lift in classic white or suede loafers for men work well for any outdoor event. A good-quality pair of square-toed boots are also versatile and can be worn to most occasions. Rivers and Spendless Shoes are your go-to for formal footwear. 

Stay sun smart with sleek sunglasses

This spring, large angular or squared frames are the way to make a statement. Colourful frames will add a splash of fun to any birthday outfit and could even be the focal point for your look. As always, choose a pair that matches or complements your other accessories.

Glasses with a thin metal frame or darker tint are generally more elegant, making them a sophisticated addition to any milestone celebration. Alternatively, if your outfit has light or pastel tones, a pair of slim cream or tan framed sunglasses may help tie your look together. Visit Oscar Wylee and Edge Clothing to find the style that will work best for your look. 

Regardless of the celebration you’re attending this spring, the perfect accessories are available at Broadmeadows Central.
