Spring Fashion Trends 2008: How to Wear Yellow Fashion Accessories

The color yellow seems to have taken on a life of its own for spring. From dresses to shoes, if it can be worn, it will probably be available in yellow this year. Unfortunately, not everyone can wear the bold and brilliant shade of yellow that will take the fashion world by storm. Even if a brilliant yellow dress drains the color from your face, you can still look dazzling in yellow fashion accessories. Here are some ideas on how to wear this hot shade for spring through the power of accessories, no matter what your hair and skin color may be:

Slap On Some Yellow Bangles

Bangle bracelets are big news this spring and they’ll be seen worn in multiples, sometimes extending all the way up the arm. You don’t have to go to this extreme, but why not display a few bright yellow bangles on your well tanned arm as you step into spring and summer? Yellow bangles are a great way to show off a well manicured hand and can add a splash of color to the more conservative outfits you already own. Try pairing yellow bangles with a navy blue tank top and pants as the weather turns warm and steamy.

Knock ‘Em Dead in Yellow Framed Sunglasses

Picture yourself driving down the street in a convertible with the top down, hair waving in the breeze, face slightly tanned (from self-tanner. Don”t destroy your skin), sporting a pair of sunglasses with bright yellow frames. Glasses like that can really carry a summertime outfit. This is also a great look for the beach.

A Teeny, Weeny Little Yellow Bikini

Speaking of the beach, those yellow sunglasses will coordinate perfectly with a yellow swimsuit. You may not feel comfortable in that teeny, weeny, yellow bikini if you’re over the age of twenty, but you can still wear those yellow sunglasses with a more conservative yellow bathing suit. Surprisingly, even people who can’t normally wear yellow can carry it off when their skin is golden brown. (Remember that self-tanner?)

A Yellow Designer Handbag

A yellow designer handbag can really add impact to black, white, or navy. If you have plenty of these colors in your closet already, a yellow bag may be just the update you need to carry your current clothing into the spring and summer. You should have plenty to choose from this spring if yellow fashion accessories continue to be strong sellers.

Yellow Sandals

Yellow, peep-toe sandals will coordinate magically with your yellow designer handbag and yellow framed sunglasses. A touch of color on the skin, a pair of black or navy shorts and a coordinating top are all you need to carry off this popular springtime look.

If you can’t wear yellow as a primary fashion color, add some of these yellow fashion accessories to the clothes you already own and watch your old stand-bys take on a whole new life.
