With runways and red carpets as a point of reference, I’ve scoured the accessory trends that are defining spring. Whether you’re a classic dresser or a risk-taker, when it comes to styling an outfit, it's all in the details. From frilly hair bows to mesh ballet flats to chunky silver jewelry, keep scrolling for 12 trend-defining pieces that will finish off your look.

Nothing screams spring more than a pastel palette, especially this season with unexpected pastels taking center stage. The soft purple featured here, on one of Coach’s most-wanted silhouettes, combines with a silver chain that can be worn crossbody or doubled up for an evening-ready shoulder bag.

These Must-Have Mesh Ballet Flats

There’s no debate that mesh ballet flats have taken the streets by storm. Everyone from Sofia Richie Grainge to Kourtney Kardashian has been spotted in the barely-there footwear. This Mango pair is an accessible way to try the trend. The delicate ankle straps add refinement, and the fishnet upper couldn’t be more versatile.

The It-Girl Silver Sculptural Earrings

The clean-girl aesthetic may have spiked gold jewelry sales, but the cooler-toned silver that’s now dominating the runways (and streets) feels so modern and fresh. These earrings have the coveted chunky teardrop shape you’ve probably seen on your favorite it-girl’s Instagram feed. And thanks to their lightweight design, you can wear them day to night.

A Rope Belt For An Easy Statement

A rope belt is an effortless way to hop on the statement belt trend seen all over the runways of late. This tubular leather cord belt in a vivid citron can be cinched just to your liking, for an accessory that pairs just as well with a structured blazer as it does with a silk midi skirt.

An Ear Cuff Set In On-Trend Mixed Metals

What used to be a fashion faux pas is now an accessory must-do. Mixing metals, like with this ear cuff set, adds a certain intrigue to a jewelry stack. The gold and silver cuffs included promise to pair perfectly with the other sparkle in your stack.

A Chunky Cuff Bracelet That Looks Like Art

This art-like sculptural cuff is for the maximalists. It redefines chunky jewelry with varying textures and a statement silver hue that’ll make you think twice when reaching for yellow gold. Pair it with some of the season’s modern pastels for an entirely on-trend look.

This Oversized Quilted Bag You’ll Take Everywhere

If you typically leave the house with an unnecessary amount of products in your bag (same), you’ll be pleased to know the oversized bag trend is back. Between the capacious design and quilted texture, this fuchsia gem merges style and function for a bag you’ll take everywhere.

Leave it to AllSaints to craft the perfect eyelet leather belt for adding just the right amount of edge to any ensemble. The polished silver grommets contrast the supple leather in a 1.25-inch width for a utility-inspired vibe.

These are a modern, ultra-edgy twist on the trending ballet flat. The pitch-perfect red tone, dual silver buckles and grommet detailing, and sharply pointed toe on these Ganni slingbacks are everything.

Sizes: 6 — 10

If you’re an avid neutral tone lover, colorful sneakers are an easy way to incorporate a pop of vibrancy into an outfit. Aside from the obvious comfort factor, Spezials are one of the most in-demand silhouettes from adidas this spring.

Sizes: 4 — 10.5

A Frilly Coquettecore Hair Bow

The perfect plus-one to a fresh blowout? A hair bow. From Hailey Bieber to Sydney Sweeney, bows are officially the most-worn hair accessory of the season — although one could argue this is a year-round staple. This oversized blue bow clip is especially frilly and comes pre-tied for a perfect shape, every time.

Rosettes continue to dominate as a retro-romantic accessory you absolutely need to have in rotation. The leather strap on this choker balances out the femme feel of the 18-karat gold-plated flower accent.
