Top Handbags for Spring 2016

Let’s face it,  when it comes to fashion the goal for spring and summer is to lighten up your style and free yourself up to have as much fun as possible. Part of the lightening up regime includes gravitating towards brighter and richer hues that mimic budding flora and other refreshing treats. The other part of the equation is in the reprise from heavier outerwear that can put a damper on showing off carefully chosen accessories.

Enter the handbag. Lipstick, cell phone and credit card. Check. Check. Check. If your handbags for Spring 2016  can carry all of these, then you’re ready to mingle. Below we’ve crafted a handy cheat-sheet of trends to ensure your style is always in the bag,  day or night.

Primary Colors

As simple as A-B-C, primary and bold colors are a perfect way to create a pivotal foundation to build a wardrobe around. Think Garanimals for grownups and then add on from there. Remember, yellow and blue make green, and so on…

Getting Into Shape

Design and function in the handbag world sometimes pass each other like ships in the night. As women we’ve learned to make poor design work as long as it looks good slung over, or dangling from our arm. For spring 2016 architectural, clean and strong shapes give way to a more pulled-together vibe, but these shapes can also usher in unexpected inspiration and creativity.

Fringe Benefits

Fringe detailing is often a staple, particularly in warmer months. We attribute this timing to the fact that summer evokes memories of carefree hippie days; or the fact that spring is the start of festival season for millennials. Playful and whimsical, fringe details add texture and movement which commands attention no matter where you swoosh and swish!
