There is something about woven-textured, basket-weaved accessories such as hats, wedges or belts that captures our attention. Woven accessories are a must have this season as luxury brand designers are utilising braided or woven accents like wicker, straw, or cane and even metal on everything from shoes, handbags, wallets, and more. This is not a new fashion trend, as woven materials have been used for decades on various top handles, as decorative appliqués, or with metal and animal skin embellishments.
* A very stylish investment now, would be on a straw or weaved hat. Not only will the hat reveal your chic and crisp edge, but it’s useful as well, as it protects your face from the harsh rays of the sun.
* Another popular item to add to your collection is woven wedges. Wedges are the most comfortable heels to wear and have the most styles to choose from. This season, pick a pair with a woven or weaved pattern, the good thing is, they can be worn almost anywhere, at any time.
* Try a basket-weaved pattern belt in a classic color such as coffee or a funky seasonal fun color like pink for a spark to your outfit.
* Belts are usually worn in dull colors such as blacks and whites to match our formal attire. Belts like those won’t be noticed, but belts styled with weaves in pretty colours will definitely not be missed..
These items can be paired flawlessly with sheer dresses, pantsuits, or shift minis and maxis. The latest basket-weave creations are a great way to elevate daytime looks or simplify your evening outfits. Remember adding woven accessories to your spring style is not just a suggestion this season, it is a must.
