Potomac Mills Curates Four Must-Have Accessory Trends For Spring

In search of a strong style statement for spring? Bring on the accessories! To help fashion-lovers maximize their wardrobe updates this season, Potomac Mills is celebrating the little things that “make” an outfit during its first-ever, month-long Accessorize Your Spring Sale. From Saturday, May 7 through Tuesday, May 31, shoppers can enjoy blow-out deals for accessories on top of everyday discounts of up to 70 percent available at Potomac Mills retailers. With a wide selection of jewelry, bags, shoes, hats, sunglasses, tech gear and more, everyone from trendsetters to techies to travelers can effortlessly transform an outfit with stylish accents for spring.

To help savvy shoppers update their season staples with the latest looks from runway shows to celebrity icons, style experts at Potomac Mills recommend these four must-have accessory trends for spring:

Add Shimmer with Metallics

The spring style forecast is shining bright with glitzy metallics. Shoppers can add excitement to an understated outfit with sparkly and embellished accessories, including vivid silver sunglasses, bold backpacks and dazzling purses.

Focus on Florals

With pretty perennials and buds in bloom, floral prints are a natural spring fashion trend. Flaunt pastel or deep-colored blossoms on a headband, tie, phone case or statement shoe. However it’s worn, a little petal power will freshen up any ensemble.

Say it with Stripes

Stripes in a spectrum of colors and sizes dominated the season’s catwalks. Style setters can incorporate this graphic trend into their wardrobe by pairing outfits with lined shoes, ties, bags in subtle or bold patterns.

Color with Cobalt

With spring comes brilliant hues of color to brighten up a wardrobe. Cobalt, in particular, is a vibrant must-have for the season’s palette and pairs perfectly with spring and summer staples. Contrast a cobalt necklace or shoe with black for an instant pop or even couple it with bright corals and yellows for a vibrant mixture of color.

Shoppers will also find additional savings at all of the centers’ over 200 brand-name retailers, including Dress Barn, J Crew, Tumi, Steve Madden and Columbia Sportswear with deeply discounted spring merchandise and a sneak peek of summer arrivals.

As part of the Accessorize Your Spring Sale, Potomac Mills will deploy fashion ambassadors throughout the center to surprise lucky shoppers with Accessory Ambush Makeovers during the weekend of May 7-8. Selected shoppers will receive fashion tips and advice, an accessories makeover and a $50 Simon Gift Card to kick-start their accessory adventure.
