Add layered and tribal necklaces, corset belts and asymmetrical earrings to your accessory box this spring summer, says Monika Pal Sood
Double bauble
A double bauble, or as the French would call it ‘asymmetric boules’ are said to be inspired by tribal piercings. The smaller orb sits at the front. Essentially, these are virginal pearl stud earrings for the good girl gone a tad bit bad. This trend was also seen on international ramps for Dior. These little power boules are currently in the thick of their own bestselling fashion moment
Asymmetrical earrings
Gone are the days of the humble gold stud or silver sleepers. These days, earrings are here to make us sit up and take note.
Now the focus is turning to earrings that form part of an odd couple. From naughts and crosses to ear cuffs offset by a tiny stud, the craze is for the contrast between less and more when it comes to mismatched earrings.
layered necklaces
layering necklaces is trending really well at the moment because of its stacked up dainty gold jewellery look. Every piece can be delicate and minimal on its own, but when layered together, it makes the perfect statement.
Tribal necklaces
If you’re ready to take a walk on the tribal side yourself then this trend is for you. This accessory is a bit like the love child of a bib necklace and a futuristic metal collar, making it the perfect piece for grounding spring’s floating, bold-coloured frocks or adding earthy intrigue to an otherwise streamlined silhouette.
Reflective sunglasses
This season, mirrored sunnies are ruling the land, with their pretty rainbow-reflective lenses and huge celebrity following. These days, stars are dressing up their dressed-down off-duty looks with hologram-like pairs that shift in colour at every single angle. Best of all, they add that touch of cool to any outfit for any given occasion.Corset belts Call it a corset belt or a wide waist belt. It amounts to the same thing an uber wide belt that holds the tummy in, creating curves where there are none and hiding all the lumps and bumps you may not want to show off! Make sure a corset is paired with a long or midi dress and it’s done.
