Combining the elegance of golden chains and the comfort of chunky straps, this new trend has the power to make any outfit fashionable while still keeping it practical. An important reminder is to always match the color of all metal details across your outfit – gold chains and gold buttons will elevate your look even more.

Carryall bags had their moment a few years back and seemed to have been gone for good. But just like other fashion trends, it came back new and improved. Now with curvier shapes and softer materials, these under-the-shoulder bags look effortlessly chic and have a more comfortable feel for everyday use.

Color-blocking is another trend that is returning to the runways – in fact, some will argue it never left. Just like monochromatic looks, color-blocking is a very safe way to keep your look fashionable but chic. This spring, bright-colored handbags are going to be everywhere, so pick your favorite color and go for it.
