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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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
