With the summer season coming quickly, bright colors and vibrant prints are becoming go-to looks for effortless warm weather style. For the past few spring seasons, tropical prints have been a prevalent trend in both clothing and accessories, and this spring is no different. Utilizing palm leaf designs, or rather oversized, gorgeously-splayed frond prints are an easy way to get into the spring or rather, tropical spirit, and luckily, there are more than enough options to choose from to channel this look. Try pairing these Target Palm Print Palazzo Pants with a simple top for an effortless, casual day out. For a slightly more formal feel, try Forever 21’s Contemporary Off the Shoulder Dress, or Asos.com Pink Palm Print Maxi Dress. In the accessories department, be sure to check out the Sonix Clear Bahama iPhone Case, or this oversized beach tote in a similar print, available online at etsy.com.

The most popular accessories that have emerged for this upcoming spring 2017 season have been anything but subtle or minimalist. Looking back at the Spring/Summer 2017 fashion week shows, designers mainly chose statement jewelry, bags, and other accessories to complement the looks in their collections. The most prominent looks to keep an eye out for include statement earrings, oversized handbags, wide belts, skinny scarves, platform footwear, and chokers.

Both Balenciaga and Marni included oversized bags for spring in their shows, while Roberto Cavalli and Lanvin kept the choker trend moving along with large, beaded versions in their collections. To get a more affordable version of this bold look, try the GUESS Multi-Row Choker, available online at Macy’s for $20. For an accessory flattering on almost every body, try wearing a wide belt, which appeared in the shows for Balmain and Les Copains. To try out this look for less, check out Urban Outfitters’ Coco Corset belt, available online for $29.

New York Fashion Week is quickly coming to a close, and the most prominent trends from the runways are now making themselves known. Many have not been subtle, as several designers have opted for statement pieces in both clothing and accessories as opposed to minimalism this season. In terms of accessories, one particular stand-out trend has been the headpiece. Designers like Altuzarra, Nicholas K, Lela Rose, and Norma Kamali have incorporated the dramatic accessory into their collections, adding an edge to the styling of each look.

Vaquera’s designers were inspired by the American Dream, while Nicholas K was influenced by street fashion in the 90’s. Sachin & Babi drew from jewels and lively prints found in India; they showed a smaller sized, beaded headpiece paired with a beige embroidered dress. On the subtler, more classic side of things were Kate Spade, Lela Rose, and CG, all of which showed more restrained versions of the accessory.

Click through the slideshow above to see how other designers incorporated one of the more daring accessories into their upcoming Fall/Winter collections.
