How to Accessorize Spring's Top Trends
Now that you know the hottest spring trends, it's time to give them a spin with the perfect handbags, shoes, jewelry, and more! But what heels best complement a flame dress? How do you accessorize dramatic ruffles? We've got you covered with fresh and easy styling tips.

Rock Your Flowers
The Trend: Modern Florals
The Finishing Touch: Toughen up your florals with edgy extras, as seen on the Dries van Noten grunge-inspired runway. Safety pin jewels are delicate and dangerous at once—just like these prints!

Brass ring and cuff, Jennifer Fisher; $190 and $225 BUY IT

Accent Brights with Neutrals
The Trend: Like a Flame
The Finishing Touch: It doesn't get much hotter than flame, so your shoes won't have to do much work to make your outfit pop. Reed Krakoff accessorized his bright dress with nude sandals and we suggest the same.

Leather sandals, Luxury Rebel Shoes; $140 BUY IT

Play Up Feminine Pastels
The Trend: Sweet & Soft
The Finishing Touch: Add an extra dose of dainty to these soft hues with a bowed headband. Rather than monochromatic, like Donna Karan's more runway-worthy hairpiece, add contrast with a darker design in the same palette.

Suede headband, Miu Miu; $185 BUY IT

Keep Your Statement Simple
The Trend: Graphic Black & White
The Finishing Touch: These graphics are at their most powerful when not distracted with other shades. Chose either solid black or white for accessories, a la Marc Jacobs.

Polyurethane tote, Zara; $90 BUY IT

Keep Things Sweet
The Trend: Lace Dresses
The Finishing Touch: What's more ladylike than lace? Only the complementary shoes that accompanied Vera Wang's spring designs. Rather than going super-sweet with satin, blush and bows, add a touch of contrast with a more daring sandal.

Leather sandals, Pour la Victoire; $375 pourlavictoire.com for stores.

Pair Ruffles with Pendants
The Trend: Bold Ruffles
The Finishing Touch: Don't fight the volume of your structured style with statement jewels. Take a lesson from Balenciaga: necklaces (layered for extra impact) won't distract from your voluminous designs.

Gold-plated Necklaces, Gorjana; $50 and $70 BUY IT
