[Fashion Tips] The Season of Accessories, Spring... Styling Tips to Add Brightness

Increased Jewelry Demand... Continued Popularity of Pearls
Highly Versatile Scarves for Belts and Tops
For a Y2K Vibe, Try 'Headphones'

With the arrival of spring, as citizens' clothing becomes lighter, interest in accessories essential for creating fashionable daily looks has surged.

The standout accessories for spring outfits are undoubtedly jewelry. Along with the warm weather and the lifting of mask-wearing mandates, demand for jewelry is also on the rise. In fact, on Zigzag, a style commerce platform operated by Kakao Style, jewelry brand transaction amounts nearly doubled compared to the same period last year over the past three weeks (1st to 22nd). As wearing earrings was often hesitated due to the inconvenience caused by masks, and with more frequent exposure of the neck and wrists, sales of necklaces and rings have also increased.

In particular, the trend of items made with pearls is expected to continue this year as it did last year. Pearls are versatile and can be worn all year round, making them great daily items. Necklaces can create different impressions depending on their length. Long pearl necklaces are perfect for adding a chic touch or a point to outfits with monochrome, simple silhouettes. On the other hand, short-length necklaces suit neat, feminine, and elegant looks well. Mixing them as chokers or layering with other necklaces is also a great way to express individuality. Pearl rings and earrings, once essential items for 'guest looks' that give a refined impression, can now also be used in daily looks featuring knitwear or sweatshirts.

Scarves are also items that suit spring. While wearing them in various traditional ways is good, using a scarf ring can maximize a luxurious feel. Additionally, scarves can be used as hairbands or belt substitutes, or tied around the wrist or bag to serve as accessories. When summer comes, coordinating scarves as tops is perfect for emphasizing a hot look. This involves wrapping the scarf around the upper body and tying a knot to secure it. It is especially good for creating a different vibe at festivals such as music festivals.

With the continued popularity of Y2K fashion, headphones, an audio device, are also gaining attention as accessories. They are great for creating a classic look but also fit well with the recently trending 'gopcore look.' On the style commerce platform Abley, the transaction amount in the audio device category increased by 230% year-over-year for January and February this year. Headphones can be used as point accessories that enhance the completeness of a style, like jewelry or hats. Especially, large, somewhat bulky headphones add a trendy feel when worn with retro looks or monochrome chic outfits.
