Spring 2020 – Accessory Season

As we bid adieu to the cold, we cannot forget that spring is coming just as quick. Take this time to clean out your closet and toss out your wools and neutrals in exchange for some sleek fabrics and bright colors. While you Marie Kondo your closet (and maybe, your complete style – we love keeping it fresh here at LOOK), keep these accessories at the top of your “must-have” list.

Bucket bags

Smaller bags are cute, but are they practical? Not necessarily. Don’t feel the need to sacrifice your style to carry all that you need. Bucket bags are not a new invention; they were most recently on our radar in the mid-2010’s via the Mansur Gavriel’s humble cinched bucket bag. Bucket bags represent a future of style and utility. Get into it.

Eyewear chains

Your great-grandmother may have been ahead of the trend on this one, but we’re expanding how we use them. Put the reading glasses aside because these chains are going on sunglasses. These will elevate your look to an esoteric level that will make everyone ask, “Who is that?” When people do a double-take when they walk past you while you sip coffee outside of a Parisian café, just slide your sunglasses on (which are conveniently around your neck).

Alphabet gold-tone necklaces

Statement initial necklaces have stormed the world, but let’s admit it – the storm has passed. The idea of having a letter is cute, but we can be more understated yet equally stylish about it. Let’s make way for a new storm of gold-tone necklaces like these Chloé necklaces that don’t require you to sacrifice your love for the alphabet. Or your name.

Square-toed heels

LOOK! It’s a parallelogram – no, it’s a rectangle – it’s a square! Square-toed heels came back on the scene in 2019 with their 90’s style. The style adds a subtle flair to the ordinary heel and in 2020, we’re all about flair. The square toe freshens up any look you’re going for. Embody the bloom of spring and throw on some square-toe heels to make your look interesting.

Pearls

Clutch your pearls and wear them, sis. Pearls have always been the staple of a classy statement and this spring, they are making more of a bold statement. Whether you incorporate them through earrings, a necklace, or sunglass chains (!!!), pearls are necessary for your spring looks. While you dominate the world in 2020, your pearls remind the people that you can look great while doing it.
