Forget a quiet entrance. The season's best accessories aren't just about making a statement; they're about inciting a reaction. Because really, subtlety is highly overrated.
Metallic
Be it bronze, gold, or silver, these gleaming mirrored surfaces toughen up floaty chiffon skirts and silky dresses. No shame in admiring your reflection here.

Perforated
Sporty cutouts shouldn't be reserved solely for the gym. Lend an athletic touch by carrying this chic tote to the office or beach or cap off a relaxed summer outfit. Now that's seeing the hole picture.

Like the sky at dusk, these extras make an elegant impression as one color seamlessly fades into the next. Pair the graduated hues with summer-ready whites to set off the poetic tones.

3-D Floral
Clearly, nothing says spring like a bunch of colorful flowers. Let them bloom on sandals or flutter across a handbag, but stick to neutral clothes. You want these overblown blossoms to be the star of the show.

Modern Pearls
No fussy cardigan pairings for these baubles. Wear them against unconventional slouchy jeans or a leather moto jacket. After years of spikes and rhinestones, the delicate beauties are a refreshing alternative for adorning your edgy look.

Geometric
Hexagon, octagon or triangle- this isn't your standard geometry lesson. Assemble a bold stack on the wrist, or show off a sleek diamond-print tote when you're wearing a LBD.
