Handbag & Sunglass Trends for Spring 2017

Following up on Tuesday’s theme of what’s hot for Spring 2017, today’s focus is on handbag & sunglass trends.

Handbags

When it comes to handbag trends this spring, size matters!  Both tiny and enormous bags are on point.  A couple of the fashion trends discussed in Tuesday’s post also apply toward handbags.  There are a lot of metallics/iridescents coming out and florals/patterns/ruffles/ embellishments are all big in the handbag world right now.

Attachments & Guitar Straps

If you’re not in the market for a new handbag, another popular fad is embellishments.  Try revitalizing an old bag with a thicker, guitar style strap or a purse charm.  Kate Spade’s gold plated stickers are new to me and while I wouldn’t use them on a high end bag, it could be a fun way to breathe life in to an old mid-market one.

Sunglasses

Runways seemed to focus on outrageous statement specs for spring and summer but these can be really tough to pull off.  The second set of photos highlights more wearable styles.
