Women’s Handbags
Bright colors in general are going to be big this coming spring. Not only will you see the usual colors like tans, blacks, and browns, but you will also see a lot of colors in the mix like oranges and reds as well as jewel tones like purples, blues, and greens.
The Cole Haan Raleigh in blue is a great bag and the bright colors from the Jessica Simpson collection are perfect for this spring’s latest trends. Small bags with long straps are seen from many designers this season. The cross-body bags are a must have this season. It’s something to be aware of if you’re not into the hobo bag or you’re still carrying around that oversized tote. Hardware was hot for fall and is still in this spring. Again, this means bags with studs, grommets, and other metallic features such as exposed zippers and buckles. The Donald J. Pliner Derina Satchel is a great example and it’s on sale! Nothing says spring and summer like straw handbags, so of course these are coming back in style. Exotic leathers and exotic print faux leathers haven’t left the scene quite yet. You’ll continue to see bags with exotic prints like snake and croc both faux and authentic.
Men’s Shoes
As always there’s the must have black and brown dress shoes. A staple in every working man’s closet should be the Johnston & Murphy Dobson cap toe. The driver style shoe is a must have in your wardrobe this spring. It’s a comfortable shoe for casual Fridays and makes the perfect weekend shoe. The driver can be worn with or without socks. Check out the Cole Haan Air Grant for the best driver shoe. White, of course is a big Spring color. More and more designers are featuring white shoes for men.
