The 6 Hottest Spring 2019 Accessory Trends to Know
Personally, I think that these clips look best when worn with your hair down rather than up, as up-dos can overcomplicate the look.
I also like the idea of “layering” two matching or similar-looking embellished hair clips. If you choose to wear more than one clip, rock them all on the same side of your head. This will keep things looking cool and fashion-forward, rather than dated and child-like.
2. Clear Shoes

The clear shoe trend popped up a few seasons ago, but it’s going to be huge for Spring 2019.
While clear shoes might bring to mind images of the 1990s, they can, in fact, look modern and chic. This is particularly true if you go for a minimal shoe, like the pairs above.
Since plastic is not a breathable material, it’s best to go for a style that isn’t completely closed off. That’s why I featured open-toed and/or open-heeled styles here.
In addition, plastic can be hard on your feet as it doesn’t really “break in.” Therefore, I recommend only wearing these when you know you won’t be doing a lot of standing/walking, perhaps for a night out at a trendy restaurant.
How to wear clear shoes:
Since these shoes are bold regardless of which style you choose, it’s best to style them with something minimal. Think a midi-length slip dress and an oversized blazer, or a classic pair of black slim-fitting pants and a silky camisole.
As far as other accessories go, you can afford to play around with different materials for a contrasting, textural look.
I like the idea of pairing clear shoes with a basket bag (a trend that was big last year and is still going strong), a simple gold chain, and perhaps even a baroque pearl jewelry piece (another big Spring 2019 trend which I will be talking about next!) for a refined look that isn’t too serious.
